It has been 10 years since the release of wechat version 1.0. On January 21st, wechat released version 8.0, which introduced many interesting features. Let’s take a look!

Wechat emojis are more interactive

In wechat 8.0, wechat emojis are designed to be more interactive, with simple animations for all yellow face emojis. Three of the emojis are special: bomb, celebration and fireworks. When you click “send”, a large animation will appear on the screen. Especially if you send the bomb emoji alone, the whole screen will “explode” and both the sender and the receiver will feel the vibration.

In addition, wechat emoticons also support search, which can be conducted according to mood words, keywords and so on. If you like Doutu, you will definitely like this function.

Negative screen: Floating window + read again later

We often read some articles on public accounts in wechat, but some articles are too long to finish temporarily, or we need to jump to the chat interface to reply messages, so we have to exit the reading page.

We can use the floating window function to send the article to the negative screen of wechat, so that we can quickly find and open the page when we need to read it next time.

In addition, articles set as floating window on the mobile phone can also be synchronized to the wechat computer version, and directly open the article on the computer for reading

Tag links

The wechat tag link function actually came out in the previous version, but it is not widely used yet. Tag link is actually by entering # tag, after sending a message will automatically become wechat link. After you click on the link, you can search for content based on your input.

For example, if you enter # Reading: The Three-body problem, it will automatically display as a link after you send it. Click the link to jump to the search page of Wechat Reading, search for books related to the three-body problem, and click the book to jump to the wechat reading mini program for reading books.

For example, if you enter # video Number: wechat moment, click the link to jump to the search page of video number, and click the search content to jump to the corresponding user’s home page.

In addition to reading and video number, also support # public number, # search, # music, # small procedures and other search types

Online status

Remember before when using QQ, you can set your own status, such as online, away, stealth and so on. In version 8.0, wechat also introduced a similar function: My Status.

In wechat 8.0, you can choose your own state to set in my page, such as mood state, work and study state, activity, rest and other types of Settings.

After setting, you can also see your friends in the same status as you; Your friends will also see your current status in the chat screen.

conclusion

Wechat 8.0 version introduced more new functions, wechat is no longer just a communication tool, it is also an information platform (public account, look look), entertainment platform (video number), APP platform (small program) and so on. With wechat, you can chat with friends, read information on official accounts, watch videos to relax, read and so on.

Please update wechat to try it out (currently only iOS update is supported, android users need to be patient).
