Discover the fascinating group chat feature on WeChat.
If you're not aware, chat groups on WeChat will be 'invisible' unless you are a member of the newly created group. Additionally, group chats can accommodate up to 500 members.
In cases where the group already has 100 members, you won't be able to join, even if you receive an invitation from another user, unless the WeChat Pay feature is activated. To activate WeChat Pay, all you need to do is link your bank account to your WeChat account.
2. QR Code
A QR code is a unique identification barcode created for individuals, groups, and businesses using WeChat. Unlike other online messaging apps and services, WeChat doesn't require users to add or link their phone number to their account.
WeChat chat groups also come with a unique QR code, generated immediately upon group creation. Users or any member with the group's QR code are granted access to the group chat. If a group reaches 100 members, using the QR code to join is no longer available.
