　　8. WeChat releases the limit of 5,000 friends, but new friends cannot read the circle of friends

　　According to Sanyan Finance, WeChat accounts with more than 5,000 WeChat friends can continue to add new friends, but a prompt "chat only" will appear when adding. The page shows that many friends can see content such as your Moments, and newly added friends can only be set to "Chat Only". However, after Sanyan Finance test experience, it was found that the permission settings of friends like WeChat are "one-way restrictions". Users with a total or more than 5,000 friends can view the new friends' circle of friends, WeChat sports and other information, but the other party does not have permission to view it. In other words, the limit of WeChat 5,000 friends has been relaxed, but newly added friends cannot see the WeChat Moments circle of "over 5,000 friends". At present, Tencent’s official customer service still says that the maximum number of WeChat friends is 5,000. Therefore, it is not yet certain how much is the upper limit of the number of friends that WeChat opens this time (100 million euros)
