People in China can now file for divorce on WeChat, the country’s most popular instant messaging service.
The app rolled out a trial “divorce” functionality in Guangdong province, which is home to major cities including Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Couples who no longer want to be together can now make an appointment with their local divorce registration office under WeChat’s new function, which was rolled out about two weeks ago.
How it works
The left screen in the picture below shows the generic document home screen, which allows you to personal documents for all sorts of purposes.
Scroll further down, and under the subtitle “Marriage” is a function that says: “Make an appointment for divorce registration,” as can be seen in the right screen.
Filing for divorce is just one of WeChat’s many new functions. Users in the province can also store driving permits and passport copies, and manage their tax documents. They can also apply for marriage licence.
