I don't use DiDi since my spoken Chinese is awful and writing non-existant. But yes, it does accept wechat/pay (apparently preferred according to some sources!).
I am surprised, given that non-Chinese speakers make up <0.4% of the Beijing population, why there are cabs that pick up passing traffic at all these days...but in all honesty, it's been (touch wood) no worse than usual.
The additional benefit of the voice feature is the ability to really, really annoy the customer currently sitting in the cab...
