Tencent founded QQ in 1998 and launched it in 1999 as a social media platform called OICQ, adding features for voice/video calls, news, music, payments, posting moments, and more over time. WeChat was founded in 2011 by Tencent as another popular social media platform that allows voice/video calls, moments, videos, and payment functions along with official accounts. While both QQ and WeChat provide similar social networking and communication features, the document asks which platform the recipient prefers.
