WeChat 8.0.15 for iOS officially released, adding 1 new feature and solving major problems

WeChat has released the official version V8.0.15 for iOS today, which is the first major update of WeChat after the National Day. According to the official WeChat update log, the update content of this 8.0.15 official version is the launch of the "Caring Mode", but in actual testing, other functional optimizations were found, including the addition of 1 new function and the resolution of a major problem.

Regarding the "Care Mode" function given in the official version of WeChat 8.0.15, it has actually been implemented in the previous version. There is no need to introduce it in detail here. The main purpose is to enlarge the text and buttons to facilitate use by elderly users.

New Features

During Xiaoyu's official testing of WeChat 8.0.15, he found that this version has optimized the previous "Youth Mode". After turning on the Youth Mode, a new entry option "Youth Mode Guardian" was added to the Youth Mode settings page. This makes the Youth Mode more flexible and more user-friendly.

Specifically:

After turning on the Youth Mode on your child's WeChat, you can select a friend from the friend list as a guardian in this mode, which is equivalent to playing the role of a parent to control your child's WeChat. When your child encounters inaccessible content during WeChat use, in addition to password verification, you can also apply for temporary access rights from the "guardian". If the "guardian" agrees to access, the child can access the requested resources on the same day.

Xiaoyu feels that such a model will be more flexible and humane for the supervision of teenagers’ WeChat.

Problems solved

During the National Day holiday, a "big melon" was exposed on WeChat.

A blogger discovered the problem of "WeChat repeatedly reading user albums in the background" and made it public. For a time, this topic caused quite a stir in the circle. In response, Tencent also actively responded to the problem, saying that the iOS system provides APP developers with standard capabilities for album update notifications. When the album content is updated, the APP will be notified to remind the APP to prepare in advance. The APP's preparation behavior will be recorded as reading the system album. At the same time, Tencent also promised to cancel this function in the next version.

At present, according to the monitoring of netizens, this problem has been urgently fixed in the official version of WeChat 8.0.15, and the system monitoring no longer shows any record of WeChat reading the photo album.

WeChat has already made an emergency fix for this issue and pushed the 8.0.15 version update to iPhone users. After the new version is installed, the system monitoring can no longer see the record of WeChat reading the photo album. Since then, WeChat's "privacy security" incident can be considered to have come to a successful conclusion.

In general, the new features in WeChat 8.0.15 for iOS are not many, but they are very practical, making the experience in the youth mode more flexible and more user-friendly. At the same time, the WeChat official team also actively responded to the important problems that WeChat had in the past and provided solutions in the first time, which is also commendable.

However, users hope that the WeChat official team can also solve the "double deletion of friends" and "voice progress bar" issues that they have been looking forward to as soon as possible.
