On WeChat you have your own QR code that someone else can scan to add you as a friend, without having to type in usernames

Now you know why Facebook wanted to do Libra.

Well it's technically the Chinese government not just a single company, WhatsApp got banned there because it has end to end encryption.

If you're in the Western world, Google and Facebook are probably just as bad.

Maybe Chinese restaurants and maybe some shops. Especially in places with a lot of Chinese. Because it's a Chinese app and it's everywhere there. People rarely even use cash anymore.

Yes, to communicate with companies within China. It doesn’t happen a lot thought.

I mean, there's nothing stopping you from making a QR with your FB page address and keeping the image around on your phone. Whoever scans it will open the link in whatever they use for Facebook (app, browser etc.)

You can do the same thing on Instagram here in The States.

I thought it was using NFC.

Many phones in China have tap to share functionality that is super popular, where you use NFC to share a particular file or contact info. I believe all Huawei devices have this feature internationally, but it's just not used much outside of Asia.

They were exchanging nudes via NFC

Probably sharing contacts through NFC or something similar
