Didi removed from China's WeChat and Alipay apps for new users in another big blow

GUANGZHOU, China — Didi's main app has been removed from Tencent's WeChat messaging service and Ant Group's Alipay, in another blow to the Chinese ride-hailing company. WeChat, which boasts over 1 billion users, and Alipay, which has over 900 million, are so-called super-apps. That means users can open and user other apps, like Didi, without leaving Alipay or WeChat.
