Edit: to clarify, is it going to scan my phone for credit card info and contacts etc.

    You probably shouldn’t trust it. Be aware that the CCP will have access to whatever WeChat has access to. Also WeChat will censor/report things based on CCP demands. This might be more important if you have friends and family the CCP can touch or talk to people with that concern.

    More modern phones ask for permission to give an app access to contacts or whatever but the app will probably ask. I wouldn’t put it past them to have some sort of exploit but they probably wouldn’t use it as long as they want access to app stores. If you have to get it off some random site it’s probably fucked though.
