We hope that you like your profile picture on WeChat, because you're stuck with it until the end of the month.

Just as a very important meeting opens in Beijing, WeChat has made it impossible for users to change their nickname, tagline or profile photo, a restriction that will be in place until the start of November -- and which the social media giant is unconvincingly putting down to "system maintenance."

Apparently, the restriction only applies to WeChat users in China.
