WeChat 8.0.11 dual version update: Moments can change dynamic covers, and supports multiple account logins

WeChat has been updating quite frequently in recent days. First, the iOS version was updated to 8.0.10, then the Android version followed, then the Android version of WeChat received the 8.0.11 beta update, and finally the iOS version of WeChat 8.0.11 was released.

How to update Android WeChat 8.0.11 beta version?

The latest version of iOS WeChat can be tested directly in the App Store, but the Android WeChat 8.0.11 beta version requires a dedicated channel. You can get it by replying "WeChat beta" in the background.

Let’s explore what changes are included in this update:

1. Moments cover

The first change I noticed was in the Moments. In the previous version, when I entered the Moments from the Discovery page, I could see my signature below my avatar, but it was no longer displayed after the update.

In addition, click on the background of Moments to view the entire cover image. Click "Change Cover" in the lower left corner to add a video as the Moments cover. You can select a video from the album or video account.

In this way, the Moments becomes a dynamic cover. Is it more advanced than the previous static cover?

2. Login to multiple accounts

In previous versions of WeChat, a mobile phone only supported switching between 2 WeChat accounts. Now that it has been upgraded to the latest version, you can add 5 WeChat accounts at the same time and switch between them. Open WeChat's "Settings" - "Switch Account".

This function is indeed more convenient for users with multiple WeChat accounts. Moreover, Android phones can create WeChat clones, so one phone can log in to 10 WeChat accounts. Even if Apple phones do not have clones, they can still log in to 5.

3. Real-time text translation

This update also adds "translate while writing". Long press the chat box to select this function, then enter text in it, the translation content will be displayed above, and click "Use" to replace the text.

The languages ​​that can be translated into the following languages ​​are supported: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. However, this feature is still in the grayscale testing stage and is not yet available on Android WeChat.

I suddenly had a bold idea. What if I use this function to translate documents? I can manually input the content of the manuscript into WeChat, and then I can get a translated document. It's just that my hands are a little tired...

However, if you really need this, it is more convenient to use the Quick Text Recognition App! Just select the "Photo Translation" function, just take a photo of the document content, and it can be translated immediately. It supports more than 20 languages.

4. Teenagers’ Independent Password

The Youth Mode on WeChat now requires a separate password to prevent heavy use by minors. You can set a four-digit password or use the WeChat login password.

You need to fill in the guardian information when using it for the first time. After turning on the youth mode, some functions on WeChat are set to inaccessible, such as live broadcasts, mini-programs, games, etc. In addition, an "emoji" option is added.

5. Top message folding

When there are too many WeChat messages, you can fold them, but many people don't know how to use it. You just need to pin more than 10 messages to the top, and then you can turn on folding. This update has optimized the folding icon, which seems to be meaningless.

6. Fine-tune the call interface

Careful netizens also found that when we make a WeChat call, the interface is different from before. When a friend initiates a voice or video call with you, the other party's avatar is displayed in the center instead of in the upper left corner.

Written at the end:

That’s all for today’s content. If you think it’s good, you can share it so that it can help more people.

WeChat 8.0.11 dual version update, compared with the previous version, basically no big changes, have you upgraded?
