Hi, I am a foreigner recently came to China and WeChat built in Translate feature is the best feature I have had for now. 1. But if I am busy chatting with someone in English and the messages I am getting in is in Chinese so I every time I Tap on message > Translate, and it translates for me. So I would like to suggest you that why don’t every message translated automatically to English for me and Chinese for other person right after I got message? Perfect. The same goes for Groups. If I am away and come to group and there are Hundred messages waiting for me. So I tap on every message to translate. Why it can’t be translated as a batch process? (AutoTranslate Feature) 2. Delete/Recall feature should be reviewed. It’s ridiculous c someone post in group and even admin can’t delete that message. 3. If I am going to Translate a document, why should I open camera all the time? I should directly select document from my Gallery and tap Translate. 4. If the user cellphone is turned off. I can still call him and waiting forever. So if a person phone is off. I shouldn’t be able to call. 5. Delivery report for messages. 6. Should’ve option of ‘don’t compress my photo’. WeChat Photo Compressing Algorithm almost ruin details of pixels of photos. 7. WeChat is very heavy. If a person don’t want Pay or Translate module. He can add it from settings as Ad ons! Thank You!
Wechat need to update these options.

Update on cellular data
Bibagr
When I visit China last year then I downloaded weChat and using it till to date. I found weChat a very good application but I want to mention a small suggestion that it will not be updated by mobile data and it needs a WiFi network. So I think if it should be update by both mobile data and WiFi then it will be better. That’s why I am giving it 4 stars. 1 star is pending for update with mobile data..!
