After 9 years of waiting, WeChat night mode is finally here! Experience the new WeChat version

In the past, people liked to read for a while before going to bed, but now people are used to looking at their phones for a while before going to bed. However, many mobile phone users have experienced that the pale light of the mobile phone screen makes their eyes uncomfortable. Therefore, many APPs have added night mode by themselves. In night mode, the background of the APP becomes black, which can reduce the screen brightness and is less glaring, and is more eye-friendly.

Night mode is very important, and now even the system-level night mode is available. However, WeChat, which we often use, still does not have this function, which causes users to adapt to the sudden light when switching to WeChat. Many users have called for WeChat to add a night mode, but WeChat has long insisted on its own ideas. Finally, 9 years after its release, WeChat's night mode is here! Whether it is the latest version of WeChat for Android or iOS, the night mode has been added. Let's experience the latest WeChat Android beta version together.

Dark mode is here, no more shiny

The night mode in WeChat is called dark mode. This mode does not have an independent switch and will automatically switch to the night mode switch of the user system. That is, if your phone's current system is set to night (dark) mode, WeChat will automatically switch to night (dark) mode.

When you open WeChat for the first time, there will be a dark mode reminder, and then the system will switch to dark mode. Like other apps, WeChat's dark mode also turns the background completely black. In dark mode, WeChat's main interface, chat dialog box, Moments (user-defined cover pictures remain unchanged), public account articles, etc. all support dark mode, but mini programs do not support it.

Quick management of emoticons. Put your favorite emoticons in front.

The more emoticons you collect, the more inconvenient it becomes to use them. In the new version of WeChat, a quick management function for emoticons has been added, allowing users to activate the quick management interface by long pressing an emoticon. Through the quick management interface, you can move the selected emoticon to the front or delete it.

How much money did you spend in the mini program? Check it out

Mini Programs are indeed convenient to use. Many users use Mini Programs to place orders for food and takeout, but how much money have you spent in Mini Programs? The new version of WeChat has prepared a "Mini Program Order" function for users (WeChat → Discover → Mini Programs → My Orders), which will uniformly display the orders generated in Mini Programs for users. However, after testing, I don't know why this order is very incomplete. Also, the interface here does not support dark mode.

First wash the future money to help

The new version of WeChat also launched a financial service called "Fenfu", which is comparable to Jiebei in Alipay. That is, users can borrow money from Fenfu and pay it back when they have money, but they have to pay interest (calculated on a daily basis) and of course there are repayment date restrictions. Fenfu can be used when users use WeChat payment, but does not support red envelopes, cash withdrawals and other operations.

Also, the amount of each person's split payment is different, which is probably related to the user's payment score. Currently, split payment is also in the internal testing stage, and not everyone can see this function, for example, it is not available in the editor's WeChat.

Summarize

How about it? WeChat finally supports dark mode, and you won’t be dazzled anymore. However, this version is still in the internal testing stage. Users who want to experience it can only participate in the internal testing to experience it. In addition, after installing this version, users need to re-login to their accounts. You can wait for the official version to be released, and the experience will be better.
