China's law stipulates that "workers should notify the employer in writing 30 days in advance when they terminate the labor contract". The "written form" in this paper is not just a form based on paper. China's civil code clearly stipulates that written form refers to contracts, letters, data messages (including telegrams, telex, faxes, electronic data interchange and e-mails) and other forms that can tangibly express the content. At the same time, electronic data refers to information formed or stored in electronic media by means of e-mail, electronic data exchange, online chat records, blogs, Weibo, SMS, electronic signature and domain name.

Therefore, WeChat belongs to the written form prescribed by law; Wechat resignation and paper resignation report have the same legal effect.
