Ever been at a networking event like, "I really want to add your WeChat for the obvious financial benefit it might provide but I know I'm going to regret giving you a direct line into my personal life, if only I had a separate account specifically for people like you but I don't feel like carrying two phones around"? Sure you have. Everyone has. Or how about, "man I wish I could put all these service/subscription accounts and non-lit WeChat groups in a separate box?" Here's an easy, if somewhat inelegant, way of making that happen.

*** Solution: make a separate account. "But switching accounts is such a pain," we hear you grumble. Dear reader, we agree! Log-out, log-in, log-out and in again. It's a hassle. Good news, WeChat rolled out a feature that allows for quick and easy switching of WeChat accounts. Watch. Go to Settings. Scroll down. Switch Accounts. Boom. We've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson You'll need to make a separate account where you can put all your spamworthy contacts and subscription accounts. You can use a different phone number, maybe from that work-phone you bought before this quicker account-switching button existed. Or, you can create a QQ account, or link to a Facebook account. You can even add yourself as a contact, and then begin the laborious process of inviting your new, spambox account into all those groupchats you hate, but also might need one day! Looking at you, "1-5k Apartments in Jing'an." Final step; just log in every couple of hours and see what's up. Compartmentalize your life. Get some peace and quiet. Final, final step; sell that superfluous workphone on our Buy&Sell section.
