Seeing this WeChat update, I decided to praise the founder

I believe that friends who have checked Weibo today should all know that WeChat has been updated.

In fact, every time WeChat is updated, it is accompanied by two traditions.

One is that the update content always says "some issues have been fixed".

One is that Brother Xiaolong was scolded again.

However, Shichao thinks that the content of this WeChat update is quite practical, such as changing the notification tone and setting group members to follow. Without further ado, let's take a look at the updated content of iOS WeChat version 8.0.8.

Don’t underestimate this function of changing the notification tone. It can be said to be the most important update in the past 10 years, except for changing the WeChat ID. How important is it? Just like a handsome guy changing his hair color. WeChat has rushed to the fourth place in the hot search thanks to this notification tone, and the number of readings of the topic has directly exceeded 100 million.

Why is there such a high level of attention on modifying the notification tone? Everyone knows it without Shichao's explanation. After all, this is a feature that has existed in QQ 2005, and we finally experienced it on WeChat in 2021. . Friends, go to [Me-Settings-New Message Notification] and you can see the options of [Message Notification Tone] and [Incoming Ringtone].

In addition to the default, there are 7 other options for message alert tones: cute, ethereal, playful, etc. Personally, I think "Building Blocks" is the best sounding one, and it won't sound so harsh after listening to it many times.

In addition to the message alert tone, the voice call alert tone can also be modified. There is a large music library, including the popular Mixue Bingcheng theme song.

If you don't find the song you like in the playlist, you can search for it manually.

Anyway, after Shichao’s test, he found all the ringtones he wanted, because in addition to QQ Music, the search results also included music in the video account, so the resources are very rich.

In addition, you can also set a dedicated ringtone for your friends. For example, I set "Bicycle" for Xiao Heipang. Next time when Eason Chan's voice rings, I know Xiao Heipang is looking for me to play games again without looking at my phone.

The best part is that this incoming ringtone can also be set as a "color ringtone mode".

That is to say, when the other party calls you, he can also hear the music you set.

So Shichao suggests that you can find some fun music to prank your friends, such as the recently popular one:

In addition to the prompt sound, the video and voice prompts no longer pop up in the full screen, but are displayed in a floating box, similar to the caller ID in the iOS system. This update is quite convenient.

If you don't want to answer the call or hang up directly, you can slide the banner upwards to temporarily display it as a floating window, which is convenient for us to use when we pretend to be dead.

After upgrading to version 8.0.8, WeChat groups also support setting special attention for group members. Even if the group is set to do not disturb, you can still receive message notifications from group members.

This function is actually quite practical, especially for Shichao.

Because in the work group, those who give bad reviews either don’t speak at all, or when they speak they send out red envelopes.

So I can set the person who gives bad reviews as a special attention. In this way, even if I set the work group to do not disturb, I can still receive notifications when he speaks and I won’t miss the red envelope.

I don’t know how many pinned chats everyone has, but Shichao only has two, one is the file transfer assistant and the other is the goddess.

Of course, if you have a lot of goddesses and have pinned seven or eight of them, which affects your ability to view other messages, you can fold those pinned chats after updating to 8.0.8.

The effect after folding is like this. Even if there is a new message, you don’t have to worry about not being able to see it, it will automatically pop out of the fold.

It is worth mentioning that Shichao found that the appearance of "Fold and Sticky Chats" has nothing to do with the number of sticky chats, but depends on whether those sticky conversations occupy a screen. For example, if you are using an elderly phone with very large fonts, you only need to stick 5 conversations to appear the "Fold and Sticky Chats" option.

Ever since WeChat launched the citation function, there has always been a weird thing: when quoting an image, the image cannot be directly displayed. To know which image someone is talking about, you need to click and view it.

Fortunately, after updating to 8.0.8, the referenced images can be displayed as thumbnails, just like the PC version, which is indeed much more convenient.

After logging into WeChat on your computer, click on “Windows WeChat is logged in, phone notifications are turned off” and you will see that the “Windows WeChat is logged in” prompt is displayed in a modular way, instead of occupying the entire screen as before.

I don't know if you have noticed the large blank space below. Combined with the previous revelations of netizens about secondary device login, Shichao can't help but guess that the large blank space is reserved for the secondary device. In other words, WeChat multi-terminal login may really be coming.

In addition to the changes mentioned above, there are also changes to the forwarding button UI and a slight change to the voice call interface, which Shichao will not elaborate on. Shichao thinks all of the above new features are OK. The function of customizing the notification tone alone makes Shichao very comfortable, although this is a feature that has been available in QQ 2005.

In short, this WeChat update is a medical miracle, just as netizens said! Zhang Xiaolong finally heard the voice of users.

So, isn’t it time to hear the voice drag bar, edit Moments, and Moments animated pictures that we shout every day?
