Weixin, or better known as WeChat, is an instant messenger app for smartphones running Android, Blackberry, Windows, iOS or Symbian. It was developed by Tencent in China and it offers support in most of the languages of the world. This availability has transformed this simple messaging app in one of the most used services for keeping in touch with our friends, in a completely free manner.
The great news is that now, we can install WeChat on PC. Despite the fact that it was initially developed for mobile use only, with the help of an Android emulator, we are able to install and launch this amazing messaging platform right on our devices. It is worth mentioning the fact that this application is compatible with 2G, 3G, and even 4G networks along with the Wi-Fi feature. This will grant you the possibility to send unlimited text messages completely free of charge.
In order to use this messenger right on your personal computer, you need first to install an emulator, and only after, to install the application itself. For this, you have the most popular emulator choice: Bluestacks. It is known to be as the best emulator, and you can find it for free download on their official page. However, keep in mind that the emulator you download depends on the type of operating system you currently run on your computer, therefore, pay attention when you click on the download button to check the right version.
After installing the emulator, you need to go to the utility app option and search for WeChat using the search button. Here, you will be able to see the official WeChat application. Just click on the install button and the application will be installed in a couple of minutes.
Use your existing WeChat account to sign in and you are good to go. You can use the application almost, in the same way as you use the mobile version. However, you will see that some mobile features will be missing. In the case you do not have an account, you can sign up using your Facebook account, email address or even phone number. This all depends on you, on how you want your friends to find you.
It is important to mention the fact that WeChat is all about privacy. If you do not want other people to find you, you can make your profile private, or you can hide your name and phone number, in this way, only your contacts will be able to send messages, share files, or contact you in any way.
At this point, WeChat for PC gained a lot of popularity mostly since it allows people to keep in touch with their friends and family in a free manner, but also for the ability to use the service on a desktop computer. In this way, when you are at work, or when you do not want to use your Smartphone to reply to a message, you can easily download and install the application to use it on Windows-based computer.
