On February 15, WeChat Pay officially announced that its product "Pocket Money" now supports children using children's watches to receive red envelopes, and also added support for multiple parents to manage, with the main parent being able to set a daily spending limit. According to the introduction, children can click "receive red envelopes" on the watch, and parents can scan the QR code on WeChat to distribute them. The receiving limit for each red envelope is up to 200 yuan, with no limit on the number of transactions; the daily limit for receiving red envelopes is 1000 yuan. WeChat Pay emphasized that the "Pocket Money" function does not have an entertainment module, and the interface on the watch is simple, only retaining the core payment function.
