# Tencent denies rumors that WeChat will not be usable after Apple's upgrade

On September 2nd, there were rumors that WeChat may not support iPhone 16, and once the iPhone is upgraded to the iOS 18.2 system, WeChat will not be usable, and users will be unable to use WeChat. According to sources, this rumor is false. Previously, there were reports that Apple was increasing pressure on Tencent and ByteDance, hoping to "block" the loophole in small game payments to prevent developers from directing users to external payment systems. Apple had warned Tencent that if they did not stop developers and users from bypassing the Apple ecosystem, they would refuse to provide WeChat updates in the future. In August, Tencent's management stated during the earnings call that there was some misunderstanding about the current situation, namely that Tencent is not currently commercializing small games on iOS through in-app purchases, and discussions on this matter are ongoing
