In Q2 2025, Tencent’s QQ security center cracked down on malicious online activity, disabling 3.2 million accounts. The platform targeted “water armies” manipulating online trends by removing 30,000 groups and 580,000 pieces of related content. QQ also combatted harmful online subcultures impacting minors, deleting over 30,000 posts and comments and 200 related groups. Furthermore, 2.5 million fraud-related accounts were disabled due to increasingly sophisticated scams. These measures demonstrate QQ’s commitment to user safety and combating inauthentic online behavior.

Tencent’s QQ is testing a new feature enabling seamless transfers between QQ Wallet and WeChat Pay accounts, found in the QQ 9.2.5 beta. Users can transfer funds between the two platforms with real-time transfers and no fees. Transfers from WeChat Pay to QQ have been possible since 2020. QQ is also integrating WeChat Pay into social payment scenarios and streamlining its user experience, focusing on core functionality and leveraging existing strengths like WeChat mini-programs.

A QQ user, “Ai Jiemo,” has become the first to reach the maximum level 256 on Tencent’s instant messaging platform, prompting celebrations and exclusive rewards. This milestone highlights QQ’s enduring popularity. The achievement sparked social media engagement, while users of Huawei’s HarmonyOS noted potential disadvantages in accessing the latest platform features.
