An update to my earlier question regarding ringtones / alerts for WeChat on iPhones ........
Following the latest iOS updated version 8.0.8 released yesterday you can now change alert sounds (limited) and ringtones (mostly Chinese artists).
After updating, go to your WeChat settings / new message notification / alert tone and ringer.
For me, will make such a difference having a more unique tone rather than the same as xxx millions of others!
