Finally supports multiple devices online at the same time! Detailed experience of the new version of WeChat

WeChat has a new version. You know what, this update has a feature that users have been looking forward to for a long time. Let’s take a look at it.

Know a person by his scent and his voice

The same notification tone always makes people think that there is a message on their phone, especially in a crowded place. However, the old version of WeChat can only follow the system, and you can't tell whether it is other notifications or WeChat notifications. It would be great if you can modify the WeChat notification tone separately. In the new version of WeChat, the notification tone modification function is finally supported (Me → Settings → New Message Notification → Message Alert Tone). Currently, there are seven notification tones: building blocks, cute, ethereal, playful, crisp, smart, and elegant, but custom notification tones are not supported yet.

We are tired of hearing the incoming call ringtone in WeChat, and we can't change it, which makes it hard to tell who is calling. The new version of WeChat solves this problem. In the new version, you can not only change the incoming call ringtone, but also set exclusive ringtones for your friends. In this way, you can set a special ringtone for important people, so that you can distinguish the importance of answering the call based on the ringtone. (Me→Settings→New Message Notification→Incoming Call Ringtone)

Compared with alert tones, the options for incoming call ringtones are much richer. In addition to recommended songs, you can also search to find the ringtone you want.

If there are too many pinned items, just store them.

In order to find the WeChat friends we often contact, we usually pin them to the top, but it is troublesome to have too many friends pinned to the top. In the new version of WeChat, when the user pins more than 6 friends, WeChat will prompt the user to collapse the pinned chats. After choosing to collapse, the pinned chats will be automatically stored together.

Never miss the special attention in the group

There are too many members in the group, and everyone is talking to each other, so the group becomes noisy. Usually, the editor will set it to "Do Not Disturb". However, if you block all the members, what if the person you follow sends a message and you miss it easily? In the new version of WeChat, if the user turns on Do Not Disturb, you can set a reminder when a message is sent to a certain group member, so you don't have to worry about missing the message of the person you need to follow. You can set up to 4 group members to follow.

You can listen to songs in WeChat status

Since the launch of the WeChat Status feature, many users have enjoyed it, especially dynamic videos. Now, the new version of WeChat has enhanced this feature and now supports setting music as status. However, you have to use the sharing function of the QQ Music APP to share the song as WeChat status. After the setting is successful, your friends only need to check your status to hear the music. After the setting, your friends will see a music icon after your WeChat name in WeChat.

New improvements in citations

In the old version of WeChat, if a user quoted a message that contained a video or picture, the quoted content was only text. In the new version, this function has been improved. Now there will be a thumbnail when quoting a picture or video, and when the user long presses the quoted message, they can jump to the message.

Finally supports multi-device login

In the old version of WeChat, tablets and mobile phones are considered the same series of devices by default and cannot be online at the same time. In the new version of WeChat, tablets and mobile phones can be logged in at the same time, and you can even log in to another PC version of WeChat. The default mobile phone WeChat is the main device, which can take WeChat offline on other devices.

Summarize

The most practical feature of this WeChat update is the ability to set a ringtone for incoming calls, so you can tell who’s calling right away. It would be great if the message alert tone could also be set in this way.
