DiDi Chuxing said on Weibo that it has halted the registration of new users since Saturday, adding that it will remove the app from stores and correct problems in line with the authority’s requirements.

As for users who previously opened and used DiDi within WeChat or Alipay, or saved the DiDi mini-program, they can still continue to use the ride-hailing service within the super-apps.

The administration urged the ride-haling company to take concrete measures to fix the loopholes in accordance with the law and national standards to ensure the safety of user information. 
 
Since WeChat and Alipay are not technically app stores. It’s not clear how long after the Sunday order from regulators that WeChat and Alipay removed the Didi mini-program from being searchable.
