Tencent launches WeChat in India, partners with ibibo

Tencent has launched WeChat in India, which is a cross-platform social chat client for Android, iOS, Windows and Symbian. While, the client has been available via the official app stores, Tencent has partnered with ibibo for the creation of localized content and features for the chat client.
WeChat is different from competing chat clients like WhatsApp as it provides features like hold-to-talk voice messaging, broadcast messaging, photo/video sharing, location sharing, and contact sharing. Other features like ‘shake’ and ‘drift bottle’ enable users to build connections from any part of the world.  Interestingly, the iOS version of WeChat also supports Hindi apart from many other languages. You can download WeChat here for free.
