May 17 news: WeChat quietly launched the latest official version 8.0.6 on the AppStore this morning. Although the official did not reveal any new features, IT Home still tried its best to help everyone find out all the changes in the new version.

• Video account release adds a new source of selected videos in Moments: users can directly upload videos to Video Account through videos posted in Moments. Simply put, it converts the dynamics you have posted in Moments into creative materials for your Video Account, which only includes videos and pictures. Pure text dynamics cannot be published as videos.

• Through fine-tuning the friend verification interface, a new "add tag" function has been added, which allows you to directly add new friends to a certain tag category. In addition, a new prompt has been added to the friend permission column, but it seems that it only appears in certain situations (such as too many friends).

• WeChat has added a new "My Paid Content" entrance in the "..." in the upper right corner of subscription account messages, but currently friends who have not purchased paid content cannot see this entrance.

• WeChat’s “My Status” has added an expiration reminder, which counts down 24 hours from the time the status is posted to remind you how long it will take for the current status to expire. The same design is also used for the cancel status interface.

• The video account forwarding style has been slightly adjusted. The official has removed the three words "Video Account" from the bottom bar. The butterfly logo of the video account has been placed directly to the right of the main body, but the corresponding video introduction has been cut. In general, the new version appears to be simpler and more atmospheric.
• The position of the video account private likes has been adjusted. It may be considered that it was inconvenient to place it in the lower right corner of the video before, so the official has now moved it to the middle. In addition, the menu of long pressing the heart-shaped button at the bottom has been changed from only visible to the author to private likes, and the visible range prompt at the top has been removed.

• The live broadcast interface of the video account has added the mute and pause functions, which is very practical for experienced anchors.

• The live broadcast and nearby interfaces have been adjusted, and the "Start Broadcast" button in the upper corner has been removed.

• A new recently forwarded column has been added to the forwarding interface to facilitate users who frequently forward to fixed contacts or group chats.

• The number of words in the transfer instructions has increased from 10 to 60, a direct increase of 500%. Boss Zhang is so generous.

• The video account "My Store" has been renamed "Product Showcase", and its functions have also been upgraded. The Product Showcase can bring goods to the live broadcast platform, open a store to sell your own goods, and even add other channels from existing mini-programs to bring goods, which is relatively more open.

• The live broadcast room allows you to select products from multiple platforms to broadcast at the same time, and the product purchase interface in the live broadcast room is updated to half screen, and supports multiple service providers to open stores and enter the video account for sales.
• The image selection interface adds serial number marks, which I won’t post here. Literally, Arabic numerals 1-9 are added to the upper left corner of the selected image to facilitate user sorting.
• Setting notes and tag changes is more troublesome than the previous version. Now users need to click Add Tag to jump to a new page to add tags.
• A new message reminder has been added to the main interface of the video account. When there is a notification message, a corresponding number reminder will appear on the little man button in the upper right corner, similar to the unread message mark.
• A new category navigation bar and a new navigation tab have been added to the video account profile page to help fans quickly access the product list and shorten the product browsing and purchasing path.
• A new "Recently Used" item has been added above the Collection function to help users more easily view your recently collected content.
• A new “Saved” prompt has been added below the collected Moments content.
• Finally, some netizens discovered that WeChat restricts users from sending WeChat video works without binding their mobile phone numbers, which means a higher-level real-name management system.
