WeChat has suddenly turned green! Let's see what surprises the new version of WeChat has

The WeChat official website, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, was finally officially revamped yesterday. The homepage, which has been criticized countless times, has also been replaced with a new "WeChat green". Along with the official website revamp, the new Android version of WeChat 8.0.7 was released.

WeChat official website is "green", what surprises are there?

This time, the Android version is behind the iOS version again, and the official log is still the old saying "some known issues have been resolved". Such a result often indicates that there will be big changes in the version (experience! experience!). Please follow the editor to see the details.

It's the ancestral "solved some known problems"

1. Group-exclusive red envelopes

Since ancient times, WeChat group red envelopes have no restrictions on recipients. No matter who it is sent to, basically whoever grabs it gets it, it is a test of hand speed (emm... and network speed). However, as you can see, this "super-free" setting has also caused many problems in reality, so group-exclusive red envelopes made a shocking appearance &…#%…#￥% (applause should be given here!!!)

Group exclusive red envelope

Open the group chat "+" → "Red Envelope", click on the type area in the upper left corner, and you will see the newly added "Exclusive Red Envelope" option. Click on the exclusive red envelope, then select the recipient in the "To Whom" page, and you can send an exclusive red envelope to him/her. Like ordinary red envelopes, exclusive red envelopes will also be displayed normally in the group, but there will be an extra line of "Exclusive red envelope for XXX". Don't think this sentence is just for show. If you don't give up and give it a try, you will find that it really...really...really...can only be received by the recipient.

It can only be collected by a designated person.

2. Add identity information to the wallet

The new version adds an "Identity Information" column at the bottom of the wallet page. Click it to display your "real-name authentication status", "personal information", and "ID photo" (not viewable). Simply put, this is the real-name authentication area of ​​WeChat. The biggest function is that when you no longer use the WeChat account, you can easily modify the real-name affiliation (change the real name).

3. WeChat status supports dynamic background

Previously, the WeChat status background, whether taken directly or selected from the album, was displayed statically. Starting from WeChat 8.0.7, the WeChat status page began to support dynamic backgrounds. Click "Me" → "Status" → "Background", and you can see the newly added "Select from Video Number" in the pop-up menu. The videos here are not limited to those you have posted, but can also be selected from videos that have been liked, collected, followed, or recommended to me. The selected video will appear directly on my information page, and if the original video has music, you can also listen to it by pulling down.

Another difference is that the new version no longer requires text to be filled in for status. So far, except for the single constraint of 24 hours, WeChat status is no different from QQ status.

4. Video Account adds creator center

The addition of a "Creator Center" to the video account is not surprising, after all, WeChat has been managing the video account for a long time. At present, the functions of the Creator Center are relatively simple, with only a few modules such as original plans, live broadcast income, live broadcast tasks, and product showcases. Other modules such as fan analysis and data charts have not yet been added. And because there is no PC terminal, the entire Creator Center looks a bit weird. At least this is a good start, and we look forward to subsequent improvements.

Final Thoughts

At present, the editor has only found the above changes. Except for the group-exclusive red envelopes, the others are basically just for show. By the way, during the test, it was found that this version (beta version) would crash in some mobile phone systems, so those who are interested may wish to wait patiently for a few more days. I believe it will be released soon.
