wtf is xposedwechathelper?

XposedWechatHelper is a module that adds extra features to WeChat, the popular Chinese messaging app. It lets you do things like prevent people from recalling (unsending) messages they sent to you, fake your location, change your daily step count, cheat at the in-app rock-paper-scissors and dice games, and even modify what your wallet balance appears to be. It works by plugging into something called Xposed, which is a framework for Android phones that lets modules like this one tap into other apps and change how they behave. Once you have Xposed set up on a rooted Android device, you install this module and it hooks into WeChat to tweak these specific features. The project targets older versions of WeChat, specifically 6.6.0 through 6.6.5, so it would not work with current versions of the app. The people who would use this are Android tinkerers in China or anyone communicating with contacts on WeChat who wants these kinds of modifications. For example, if a friend sends a message and then recalls it, this module would let you still see what they wrote. Or if you want to appear more active than you really are, you could inflate your step count for fitness tracking features tied to WeChat. The project is quite small and the documentation is minimal, basically just listing what it does and showing screenshots. It is an older project tied to specific versions of WeChat, so it is more of a personal or hobby tool than something actively maintained. Also worth noting: modifying apps like this goes against WeChat's terms of service and could get your account banned, so anyone using it would need to accept that risk.
