A new round of internal testing of WeChat’s exclusive input method: preventing eavesdropping and protecting privacy

[[434938]]

As early as the beginning of this year, Zhang Xiaolong, the "Father of WeChat", disclosed that WeChat will soon have its own input method, but the purpose is not to seize this market, but to protect user privacy, and it will soon be grayscale tested.

In April, WeChat began quietly testing the WeChat input method, or as it is officially called, the "WeChat keyboard", but very few users were qualified.

More than half a year after the first internal test, the WeChat keyboard recently launched a new round of internal testing. This time, there are a lot more users who have qualified for the internal test, and the functions are obviously more complete.

Judging from the exposed keyboard layout, it seems to be no different from ordinary input methods, but it is said to be able to prevent eavesdropping and protect privacy.

Apple iOS has long been closed to third-party input methods for security reasons. Nowadays, many mobile banking, financial and other apps can only use their own keyboards when entering passwords for security reasons.

As the number one national app with 1.26 billion users, WeChat has always received a lot of special "attention", and the content entered by users in it is often spied on and stolen.

Interested users can open WeChat and find My-Settings-Plug-ins. If the WeChat keyboard is displayed, you can start the experience.

Judging from the current situation, the WeChat keyboard is obviously just an input method unique to WeChat and does not have an independent app.
