Wechat iOS client will be upgraded to WKWebview kernel, please adapt as soon as possible

Wechat iOS client will be gradually upgraded to WKWebview kernel before March 1st, please web developers to complete compatibility check of their websites as soon as possible and complete adaptation.

WKWebview is a web browsing control introduced by Apple since iOS 8 to support the latest Webkit feature. Developers can manually switch to WKWebview in the 6.5.3 version of wechat client, and then check whether their webpage performance is normal.

Since this upgrade affects image preview, Cookie use, JSSDK authentication and many other functions, we strongly recommend all developers to complete the investigation according to the WKWebview Web Development Adaptation Guide to ensure that their web pages can be used properly after the upgrade.
