on september 2, there were rumors online that wechat might not support iphone 16, and users were reminded not to update the system.

many related topics became hot searches on weibo.

netizens started discussing this issue, with one netizen saying: "to be honest, if wechat and apple compete, i don't think apple can win at all. wechat is irreplaceable, and apple can be replaced at will."

however, some netizens corrected: "it's a misunderstanding. it's not that we don't support it, but if tencent doesn't pay apple's tax, the wechat app will be removed from the apple store and all iphone devices will not be able to install/update wechat."

apple and tencent’s official response

multiple media outlets learned from informed sources that this rumor is false.

according to zhengguan news, on the afternoon of september 2, apple's official customer service said that wechat is an app that customers use very often, and the new iphone will not shut down and deprive customers of the app permissions that they normally use. the customer service said, "we have not received any official notification about the claim that iphone 16 does not support wechat."
