TV sweethearts and hosts Drew Arellano and Iya Villania are both using the app. “I think it’s amazing how WeChat makes it fun and easy not just to say connected but to find and make new friends. With the feature called Look Around, WeChat locates other users in your area so that you can simply send them a message. And to make it twice as fun, you can use emoticons, send voice messages, and video chat” says Iya.
