Summer is almost over, which means it’s time to kick things into high gear. With work, school and a social life to juggle, sometimes we all need a little help. Lucky thing you have WeChat to make your life a whole lot easier. Here’s how:

1. Make group chat your best friend

Why have 25 separate chats when you can just form one group chat and communicate with everyone simultaneously? Think about it – one chat to coordinate everything from deciding what flick to see, to sending directions to the theater. You can even avoid those long work email chains!

2. Simplify your chat messages

Next time you’re spending hours drafting a long text message, think about sending a WeChat voice message instead.  You just press and hold the “Hold to Talk” button to record and release to send. Or you can send an animated sticker that perfectly sums up your emotion with one tap.

3. QR codes = boss business cards

You know the routine. Go to a meeting, exchange business cards, enter contact information into phone, then email to follow up.  With WeChat, you can consolidate this into two easy steps. Each WeChatter has a personalized QR code and scanner.  Just scan each other’s QR code after your meeting to add them as a contact then start chatting instantly!

4. Keep private things private

Don’t let your personal life complicate your work life. Take control with WeChat Moments and easily tailor who sees each social post, including comments.  Only friends not friends of friends can view comments, which means even if you and your boss share a mutual friend, you can be sure your photos won’t show up on his or her timeline.

5. De-clutter your app library

There’s an app for EVERYTHING. That doesn’t mean you have to download all of them. Start fresh and delete all those apps you never use because WeChat has all your social features in one place. Chat, photo sharing, free voice and video calling, friend finders, a language translator, even games – all in one app.

6. Let WeChat remember things for you

Have you ever forgotten something a friend sent via IM, only to go searching through message after message to remember what it was? With WeChat, you’ll never have to do this again. Just search key terms in WeChat’s search bar to find exactly what you’re looking for.

All stress and no play is just plain lame, and sometimes the best way to simplify things is to take a quick fun break. So use WeChat as your own personal assistant and have free time for more important things, like life.
