Disable! Wechat latest announcement
On the 26th, WeChat Security Center issued the Announcement on Combating the Use of "Plug-ins" on WeChat, which pointed out that WeChat explicitly prohibited the use of various plug-ins. However, recently, some users have repeatedly used plug-in software illegally, or posted plug-in sales information in the circle of friends. In this regard, the WeChat security team has carried out a special clean-up and will continue to increase the clean-up efforts.
Once the above-mentioned behaviors are discovered and confirmed, WeChat will handle them step by step according to the severity of violations in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, Tencent WeChat Software License and Service Agreement and WeChat Personal Account Usage Specification; For those who violate the rules for many times, the punishment will be aggravated.
Common WeChat plug-in types:
One kind is to induce users to download and use directly with various gimmicks:

Red envelope plug-in: When WeChat receives the red envelope message, it automatically completes the operation of grabbing the red envelope by WeChat;
Skin WeChat: You can change the WeChat logo icon and customize the WeChat theme;
WeChat multi-open: use multiple micro-signals on one device.
The other is plug-ins developed by group control technology, which are usually packaged as "micro-marketing" artifacts:

Wechat robot: WeChat group marketing, which realizes the control functions such as regular group sending, automatic reply and automatic chat.
Plug-in software not only destroys the ecological balance and normal operation of WeChat platform, but also provides convenient conditions for malicious marketing behavior, causing harassment to normal users, and there are many risks in using plug-in software:
Privacy risk: plug-in software has the risk of collecting and leaking user privacy information and stealing user account passwords;
Threatening property security: Many plug-in software will also be implanted with Trojan virus, and the use of plug-ins may be used by bad people, threatening the safety of funds;
Being used to harass others: it may be used to harass others and affect the relationship between friends without knowing it;
Contribute to bad guys’ crimes: it is easy to be used by criminals to publish bad information and commit fraud, thus contributing to the occurrence of illegal crimes;
Affect the stability of using WeChat: Plug-in software may lack stability, which may easily lead to the collapse of WeChat operation, thus causing risks such as the loss of chat content or other important data.
The WeChat Security Center said: Please download the WeChat client from official channels, and don’t use the "Gui Li" WeChat with functions such as multi-opening, automatic grabbing of red packets and one-click mass sending, and don’t use other plug-ins and software that destroy WeChat software or have plug-in functions; If you are currently using the plug-in, please uninstall it immediately.
