WeChat records serve as relevant evidence for judicial interpretationWeChat chat records must be legal. Legality means that evidence must be provided by the parties in accordance with legal procedures, or investigated, collected, and reviewed by legal authorities and lawyers in accordance with legal procedures. As a new type of evidence, the collection of WeChat chat records should be different from the collection of ordinary evidence. Whether it is provided by the parties or collected by the people's court on its own initiative, it must comply with the procedures prescribed by law. In addition, Chinese law provides for limited types of evidence. Therefore, using WeChat chat records as evidence must also comply with the legal form. The online chat was conducted in a virtual identity, and the evidence cannot be identified as the defendant’s own chat records. In addition, since electronic data is easy to edit and modify, most of the chats between the two are private, and the authenticity of the chat records is difficult to guarantee. The lawyer who is looking for a lawyer believes that WeChat chat records are a type of evidence, but their evidence effectiveness is low. The reason is that WeChat chats are virtual content and it is difficult to obtain evidence. It is difficult to prove that the WeChat nickname is the party you want to sue. Therefore, WeChat chat records must meet the evidentiary requirements when submitted to the court.
