Your Guide to Accessing Detailed Monthly WeChat Spending

There are tons of tips and tricks that you can do on WeChat, and bets are there are probably quite a few that most people aren’t even aware of. One such useful trick that you might not know about is being able to view a detailed breakdown of your WeChat payments. 

In this breakdown, you can see monthly and yearly payments going back to 2021, with summaries of how much you spent on certain apps or in certain venues. This is a great way to keep track of your money, see possible ways to save, or just satisfy your curiosity to see just how much you’re spending on waimai or other services each month. 

So here is our step-by-step guide on how to see just how much you’re spending and where!

First off, in the “Me” section of WeChat, click on “Pay and Services.”

Next, click on “Wallet,”

Then, click on “Transactions” in the top right corner.

You’ll then be taken to a page where you can see all your recent transactions along with where they were made and at what time.

You can click to see a list of transactions for each month by selecting the month option at the top.

Above the month option, you can filter which type of transactions you want to view specifically by clicking on “All Transactions.”

You'll then be given the following options.

To see overall payments for each month, you’ll need to click the “statistics” button.

You’ll then be taken to this page, where you can see your total payments for the current month.

Below this, you can see a chart showing your expenditures by month.

If you scroll further down, you can then see your expenses for the current month by category, such as Meituan waimai, transfers, or specific shops listed in order of highest amount.

To view your expenditures for other months, scroll back to the top, and you can select the month you want to view (it only goes back to 2021).

Along with expenditures, you can also select if you want to view income or other payments by selecting one of the three buttons in a line near the top.

You can also see your total payments by year by selecting “Annual Transactions,”  though again, it only goes as far back as 2021.

And there you have it! That’s how you can see a detailed breakdown of your WeChat expenses.
