WeChat plans to resurrect tipping button after agreement with Apple

Hong Kong

CHINA'S largest social media platform WeChat plans to resurrect its "tipping" feature used to send cash to content creators, after removing it from Apple Inc's iOS devices last year over an app-store rules dispute with the US firm.

Tencent Holdings' WeChat has reached an understanding with Apple regarding this "feature with Chinese characteristics", Allen Zhang, the creator and president of WeChat, said at the annual WeChat developers conference in Guangzhou on Monday.
