How safe is weChat the app ?

I installed the app, and now need to be "fica'd" before I can withdraw money ...

I read some terrible stories on hellopeter

Any comments ?

I know so far it is being endorsed by Standard Bank

Considering its endorsed by the Chinese government, I wouldn't consider anything that passes through it, or anything that it's installed on, private.

Whatsapp is banned in China due to its encryption so yeah WeChat is being snooped.
