Business and Money Tips

If you are like many people in Singapore and Malaysia, you feel that Whatsapp is better and easier to use than WeChat.  Many of my customers told me that WeChat has too many features (in fact, WeChat has 1 million features) and way too powerful for the average Singaporean.  They say that why complicates things when all we want are just messaging and groupchats communication?  I too felt the same way as most people.    However, once I started to use WeChat actively in 2017, I realised that even if I were to just use groupchat and nothing else in WeChat, WeChat is 13 times better than WhatsApp.   Using WeChat groupchats (and not Whatsapp groupchats) has made my life safer, more productive and secure.   The 13 ways that WeChat Groupchats are superior to Whatsapp groupchats are: 1.  Your Phone Number is Not Revealed in WeChat When you join a WhatsApp groupchat, your phone number is known to everyone in the groupchat.  You may start receivi...
