Steps
- Open WeChat. You’ll typically find the app on your home screen or in the app drawer. Look for the green icon with two white overlapping chat bubbles.
- If you’re not signed in to WeChat, sign in now.
- Tap Discover. It’s at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Moments.
- Tap the camera icon. It’s beneath your profile photo, right beside the date. A pop-up will appear.
- Tap Choose image.
- If you want to take a new photo or video, tap Use Camera instead, then snap or record your Moment.
- If it’s your first time using Moments, you’ll see a welcome pop-up. Read it and tap OK.
- Tap a photo or video to select it. A check mark will appear at its upper-left corner.
- Tap Done. The photo or video will appear in WeChat, ready for editing.
- Tap Edit. It’s at the bottom-left corner.

- T: Type anywhere on the photo or video.
- Checkerboard: Adds a mosaic effect.
- Cropping tool: Crop and resize a photo.
- Tap Done. Now you’ll see your photo or video attached to a new post.
