Challenges of Using WeChat and Telegram in Business

 

Ensuring WeChat compliance and Telegram compliance is very crucial if you use both WeChat and Telegram to connect with clients in your business. In the financial services sector, many bankers and traders find these apps to be very convenient channels of communication because many of their clients favor using them over other means to transact business.

For instance, in China, traders and bankers are actively using WeChat to make deals even when various companies in other countries shun these messaging apps. Since instant messaging apps are not compliant with most regulatory requirements, it means that companies that use them to connect with clients face serious compliance risks.

These instant messaging apps are subject to both censorship and surveillance, meaning that they have no end-to-end encryption that can protect the privacy of an individual. Multiple applications also make it possible to monitor other users’ conversations. For instance, the application known as mSpy can send reports on a user’s calls, browsing history, text messages, WeChat and Telegram conversations, and more, back to the app’s owner.

People can also use spy software to monitor a user’s activities and invade the privacy of those that are involved in a conversation. Due to the lack of end to end encryption, these apps can be accessed via a backdoor and eventually access the user’s phone.

Another challenge of using WeChat and Telegram is the possibility of malware infecting personal devices. These apps have multiple privacy issues, including the risks of getting infected with malware. Many hackers embedded malicious code in various apps by convincing developers to use tainted versions of the Xcode “toolkit,” which is the Apple’s software used in creating multiple apps for both Mac and the iOS. The iOS App Store was then filled various applications with malware. Since these apps already had multiple privacy issues, a lot of people have concerns about their data privacy.
