90% of people don’t know about these five useful functions of WeChat: The last one is too convenient

Before we knew it, February 2022 is already WeChat’s eleventh birthday. It has gradually expanded from a "QQ alternative" and communication tool when it was first launched to all aspects of local life, travel services, financial services, government services, etc., becoming a bridge between people and services.

However, WeChat actually has many practical little-known functions built in. Today I will summarize them for you to help you increase your knowledge.

WeChat flash photo taking, AI beauty, portrait mode

I believe you have also discovered in your daily use that the photos taken with WeChat are always blurry due to image compression issues. Android users only need to long press "Album" to call up the phone's native camera mode, and can also turn on portrait mode, flash and other functions, so that the photos taken will be of higher quality.

Create a group chat with only you

As you can see in the previous demonstration, the author created a WeChat group that only includes himself. Compared with the file transfer assistant, this single-person group can use all the functions of the group chat.

The creation method is also very simple. Click the "+" sign in the upper right corner - start a group chat - create a group face to face, enter the number, and you can create a group that belongs only to you. You can even send red envelopes to yourself for fun.

Turn off the useless red dot on the discovery page

If you like to use Moments, you must often click on the "Discover" page in WeChat, which includes functions such as "Live Broadcast", "Video Account", "Shake", etc. There are often many small red dots, which looks very annoying.

In fact, these functions can be blocked. Just click "Me" - "Settings" - "General" and "Discovery Page Management" in turn to close the unnecessary entrances.

Image Search

The fourth function is relatively new and many users may not have discovered it yet. It is the “Image Search” function.

Users only need to long press on the group chat picture to see the "Picture Search" function, which can not only identify flowers and plants but also find product links. However, it cannot identify too detailed model information.

New version of File Transfer Assistant

The last function is also relatively new. WeChat officials recently provided users with three ways to use the file transfer assistant without logging into their accounts. This will not only not squeeze out the accounts on computers and tablets, but will also not expose account privacy or leave login records. The three methods are:

1. Click "Transfer files only" on the Windows side;

2. Enter the official WeChat web version website and click "File Transfer Assistant Web Version" to jump;

​​​​

3. Directly enter the URL “https://filehelper.weixin.qq.com”.
