Automatic day and night change & full screen mini program! WeChat 7.0.3 is here

[[256644]]

Recently, WeChat released version 7.0.3, and the update list only said "some known issues have been resolved". However, after you upgrade, you will find that this version has a lot of changes. Want to know what changes there are? Let's take a look.

There is actually a lot behind the simple introduction

1. “Mini Program” full screen

Mini Programs are the highlight of WeChat this year. In version 7.0.3, a major change is that the "recently used mini programs" have changed from the original status bar to a "full screen". The method of use is still to pull down the entire interface. Compared with the old version, the new mini program interface is divided into three parts, namely "search box", "recently used", and "my mini programs". However, since the panel is larger, it is easier to open and use. After the update, the original 10 groups of display positions have increased to 50, and it also supports sliding down to turn pages. The whole feeling is very much like the "negative one screen" in the mobile phone.

You can add mini programs through the recent use bar at the top, and you can delete them quickly by long pressing and dragging them to the bottom. You can also adjust the position of mini programs. In short, the whole feeling is basically comparable to the mobile phone Launcher, which is very tasteful.

2. Color changes from day to night

This change can basically be classified as an "easter egg". If you are a heavy user of WeChat, you will definitely find that the background color of the new version of WeChat has some small changes. That's right! In the morning, noon, and evening, WeChat can automatically adjust the background color according to the time, giving you a colorful world!

3. “Good-looking” is included in the main sharing page

In version 7.0.0, the official had high hopes for “Good-looking”, hoping to redefine the article distribution mechanism through this function. In the new version 7.0.3, “Good-looking” was also included in the sharing page, directly replacing the original “Collect” in the third place (“Collect” was not closed, but just moved to the back of the ranking), which is obviously the follow-up promotion of the “Good-looking” function by WeChat officials.

4. Red envelope emoticon reply

When someone sends you a red envelope, saying "thank you" directly is too blunt. In the new version, a small change is that after receiving the red envelope, you can directly send a cute emoticon to the other party. Of course, the emoticon is sent to the chat window, which is actually no different from sending emoticons manually, but it is more convenient!

5. Added “short name” to mini programs

The mini program also gave developers a big gift package. When filling in the mini program information, developers can fill in a "short name" after the standard name. And this function can match the desktop search box. I believe this change will win the approval of many developers.

Written in ***

Initially, Zhang Xiaolong wanted to try to "make the APP more lightweight", but to this day, the mini program has always been like a discarded child, which is tasteless and a pity to discard. However, judging from the release of version 7.0.3, the mini program may be the development focus of WeChat in 2019, and it will truly usher in its own era this year.
