Attention! WeChat keyboard starts second round of internal testing to prevent eavesdropping and protect privacy

When we enter passwords on our phones, it is easy to leak personal information, so many apps now have their own input methods. WeChat has a huge user base and active online payments, but it has not yet had its own input method.

A new round of internal testing for WeChat’s exclusive input method

On November 15, a new round of internal testing of the WeChat keyboard has started. Judging from the pictures shared by netizens, the WeChat keyboard has been more functional this time, and it is said that it can also prevent eavesdropping and protect privacy.

WeChat may have had the idea of ​​developing its own input method a long time ago, but the idea was officially disclosed at the beginning of this year. At that time, Zhang Xiaolong, the "Father of WeChat", revealed that WeChat's own input method would soon be grayscale tested. In April this year, WeChat began internal testing of the WeChat keyboard, but at that time very few users were eligible for internal testing, so it did not receive much attention.

However, this time is different. Many netizens have obtained the internal testing qualifications, which means that the WeChat keyboard will soon appear in our WeChat.

According to CNMO's previous report, WeChat's privacy interface has added a "Personal Information and Permissions" option, allowing users to export personal information including avatars, nicknames, WeChat IDs, etc. As WeChat's user base grows, WeChat is also constantly improving itself and adding more practical functions.

It is worth noting that WeChat's privacy protection policy states: "Subject to relevant laws and regulations, we may use the information collected through certain services for our other services." In response, the Shanghai Consumer Council asked questions: "What are these certain services? What information is collected? What are other services?" WeChat did not give a positive answer.
