On February 6, Alibaba's Qianwen officially launched its "Spring Festival 3 Billion RMB Freebies" campaign. According to the official Qianwen Weibo account, within five hours of the event going live, orders placed through the Qianwen app exceeded 5 million. The Qianwen app also climbed to the top of the free charts on the Apple App Store.

However, within just half a day of the launch, some users discovered through testing that the latest share codes for Alibaba Qianwen's red packets could no longer be copied within WeChat. This means users are unable to participate in Qianwen's "Spring Festival 3 Billion RMB Freebies" campaign by copying codes via WeChat.
