I am trying to find out if it is possible to create a share button on a website that shares to WeChat.
So just as you would with Twitter or Facebook to share a message or link back to the social network.
Has anyone managed to do this? Or has anyone confirmed that it is not possible?
thanks!
You can use the AddThis service to embed a range of share buttons, including WeChat.
It doesn't seem to support opening the WeChat app with a pre-populated message (like when sharing to Twitter/Facebook) - probably because the WeChat app doesn't support this - but works around it in two ways:
On Desktop: clicking the share button displays a QR code which the user can scan using their mobile device
On Mobile: tapping the share button displays a share URL, a button to easily copy the URL, and another button to open the WeChat app. The user needs to still perform a couple of steps manually, but it's about the easiest it's gonna get.
Hope that helps.
