Just two days after the official release of WeChat 8.0.8, Apple iOS version 8.0.9 is here. What’s updated?

Recently, the news of the official release of WeChat 8.0.8 for Apple iOS has attracted the attention of many netizens online, and everyone upgraded and updated as soon as possible, because WeChat 8.0.8 is the version with the biggest changes since WeChat entered the 8.0 era. However, what netizens did not expect was that while the Android version of WeChat was still at version 8.0.7, the Apple iOS version of WeChat urgently launched the latest version 8.0.9 after 2 days. Why is this? Xiaoyu will provide you with the download address of the latest WeChat 8.0.9 official version at the end of the article.

Let’s first review some of the new features brought by the official version 8.0.8 of WeChat for Apple.

Features released in WeChat 8.0.8 for Apple iOS

One of the biggest changes in the official version of WeChat 8.0.8 released a few days ago is that message alerts and voice (including video) call ringtones can be customized.

In the "New Message Notification" of WeChat settings, click "Incoming Ringtone" or "Message Alert Tone" to set your favorite incoming ringtone and message alert tone. In addition, you can also set exclusive incoming ringtones for friends, so that you can judge who sent a voice/video call by the ringtone without looking at the phone. If you turn on "Friends can hear my incoming ringtone when calling me", the other party can listen to the song you set, similar to the mobile phone ringtone.

It can be seen that this feature of WeChat makes us feel like changing the ringtone every day in the era of feature phones. This is also a very important feature for many people to upgrade to WeChat 8.0.8 official version.

In addition, the official version of WeChat 8.0.8 for Apple iOS also launched voice/video pop-up windows, group members, foldable top messages, device login changes, and other user interface optimizations, which are very convenient to use. For details about the official update of WeChat 8.0.8, you can move to the article "WeChat 8.0.8 Official Version Released, Customizable Ringtones, and These 6 Major Changes", and Xiaoyu will not repeat the introduction here.

WeChat 8.0.9 is officially launched. What’s updated?

In the update log of the official version of WeChat 8.0.9 for iOS, the WeChat official team still did not give a detailed introduction to the functions, and simply "solved some known issues."

So, WeChat 8.0.9 is officially launched, what exactly has been updated?

The first thing is to fix the bug - the problem of customizing WeChat incoming ringtones.

After the WeChat 8.0.8 official version launched the function of customizing incoming call ringtones, netizens updated and upgraded immediately, but found some problems, which caused many friends to be unable to use it after setting it. The specific manifestation is that after some netizens set custom ringtones, when a message comes in, the default ringtone and the ringtone they set ring at the same time. Some netizens also said that after setting a new incoming call ringtone, if someone initiates a voice call request on the WeChat interface, the custom ringtone will be displayed. If the phone is in other interfaces, the incoming call will still be the original sound. Faced with such a major bug, WeChat officials also urgently fixed it, so they launched a new version just 2 days later.

Support multiple devices login

In the official version of WeChat 8.0.9 for iOS, the previously exposed "secondary device" login function appeared. WeChat can be logged in using mobile phones, computers, and iPads at the same time, and will not be kicked offline.

QQ Music Set WeChat Status

In the latest version of WeChat, you can set QQ Music to your WeChat status and open it to listen to music directly!

WeChat chat can quote pictures and videos

In previous versions, WeChat added the "Quote" function, which allows users to quote a certain chat content to reply. This function is more practical for WeChat group chats. However, this function is only for text messages. In the official version of WeChat 8.0.9 for iOS, the function of quoting pictures and videos is launched. When quoting pictures or videos, thumbnails will be displayed, making communication more convenient and quick.

Subscription account message optimization

In the official version of WeChat 8.0.9, the WeChat official team also made some subtle optimizations to the WeChat subscription account message interface, mainly for the prompt label style of new notification messages. From the figure below, it can be clearly seen that the prompt label style color, switch, size, etc. of the new notification message have been adjusted in the new and old versions, making it more concise.

The above are some of the updated features and content after the official release of WeChat 8.0.9 for Apple iOS. The CallKit function that was previously in grayscale internal testing has not yet been fully launched, and it is estimated that there are still many problems that have not been completely solved.
