How do I know someone deleted you on WeChat?

Nobody likes someone deleted you quietly, sometimes you though you two are friends. But they deleted you already, well, that hurt. What causes this is because WeChat will not remove you from their contact lists when you delete them. However, it’s hard to test who deleted you without them knowing. It’s awkward to let your WeChat friends knowing you’re testing them.

WeChat Moments:

This is the most used way to know who deleted (unfriend) you. Basically, if you can see their WeChat Moments before, and then you suddenly just can’t see their WeChat Moments. You can only see a line on their WeChat Moments.

What if I want to test many contacts at once? Well, you can send a message to many recipients at once with Broadcast Messages. Simply go to settings, general, WeChat tool, Broadcast.
