面對数字时代的冲击，越来越多的中国老年人开始使用微信。尽管部分老年人仍面临一些智能设施使用上的困难，但从2021年1月起，工信部已开展行动，以帮助老年人更好地应用智能技术。
More Chinese seniors are exploring the use of the payment service of WeChat， China s leading messaging and social media app， according to a study.
The study， conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences， aimed to learn about the digital life of the elderly population during the post pandemic period. Over 90 percent of the seniors surveyed watch videos online; over 80 percent read novels and articles online， and at least 23.26 percent play mobile games with almost no objections from their children. The study showed a growing number of seniors are using WeChat Pay and their sum total payment via the service increases rapidly.
The report found during the post pandemic period， seniors live rather differently depending on their adaptability to new technologies. Some tech savvy（精通技术的） seniors manage to master skills， including scanning QR codes， mobile navigation and online ride hailing， while some have to refrain from going outdoors for not knowing how to use digital devices. Still， 95.09 percent of elderly users believe in the importance of learning how to use the Internet in a post pandemic setting， and 93.36 percent are confident in learning how to get online using smart phones.
The report said that elderly users spend around 1.37 hours on WeChat every day and have 104 WeChat friends on average and that 50.3% of elderly users learn how to use WeChat from their children or grandchildren. It also suggested that family members should be more patient in terms of introducing new technology to elderly people to help them enjoy a better digital life.
The report also said the digital divide for the elderly attracted the attention of the general public after the COVID 19 outbreak and the authorities have taken action to bridge the divide.
The State Council issued a plan to solve the difficulties of seniors in using smart technologies. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology later issued a one year action plan on removing obstacles and transforming Internet apps to become more senior friendly.
