Play video silently

When we are in a quiet meeting room or study room, a friend sends us a WeChat video. The usual viewing process is to press and hold the volume button to mute the video, and then restore the volume after watching the video. In fact, we only need to long press the video content in the chat interface, and we can see the "Mute Play" button in the pop-up dialog box. Click it to enjoy it without disturbing others. After watching the video, you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn up the volume and missing other notifications.

Voice Quiet Processing

Continuing with the above topic, if a friend sends you a voice message, but the environment we are in is not suitable for listening, what should we do if we don’t have headphones? The same is long press to record the voice. Here we have two options. One is to select "Play from the receiver" to let the sound come out from the receiver on the top of the phone.

The second option is to choose "Convert to Text". WeChat can automatically convert the voice into text, and after reading it, you can long press it again to "hide".

Automatic translation of foreign languages

If you have foreign friends, or a friend sends you a long paragraph in English (or other foreign languages), we just need to long press the conversation and select the "Translate" button, WeChat will automatically convert it into Chinese, without the need to copy the text to other APPs for translation.

Similarly, if you receive a picture full of English, you can also translate the English into Chinese by long pressing the picture and selecting the "Translate" button.

Next to the translation button is "Extract Text". Click it to extract all the text in the picture. You can select all or just select any content to splice, saving us the manual typing process.

Add event reminder

In work or study groups, leaders or teachers occasionally issue new tasks, but these contents are easily drowned out by other chat contents and forgotten if you are not careful. When we see an important message, we can long press it and select "Remind" to add it to the reminder list of WeChat. At the specified time, we will receive a message reminder from the "Service Notification" public account.

If you forget the reason for a reminder event, you can click on the content to view the details.

Answer messages accurately

The most worrying thing in a group chat is that everyone's questions are mixed together. If you want each question to get an accurate answer, you can long press a conversation and select "Quote". The original question will be automatically attached below the reply content, so there is no need to worry about confusion even if there are many people.

Quickly modify status

In the WeChat chat list, long pressing any chat content will pop up the options of marking it as read (unread), pinning it, hiding it, or deleting it.

Among them, selecting Mark as read can instantly eliminate the unread red dot. Conversely, we can also mark the read chat as unread, so that the red dot will reappear as a reminder. Everyone must be familiar with pinning and deleting the chat, while not showing the chat is to hide the chat, making the chat interface more refreshing, but the hidden chat content can be searched in the search.

Open the system camera

Click the "+" on the WeChat chat interface, and then select "shoot" to start the camera, take photos of the content you want to share, and then share them. However, WeChat's camera program cannot call up the optimization algorithm from the manufacturer, and the image quality is very average. In fact, after we click the "+" on the chat interface, long press the "album" in the dialog box to directly start the system camera to shoot (, so that the software and hardware advantages of the camera and imaging algorithm can be fully utilized.

Unfollow Service Public Account

Unconsciously, we follow more and more service accounts and public accounts, and often receive harassing messages from them. When you want to unfollow a service account or public account, you don’t actually need to click on the homepage. You just need to long press any article or message of this account, and you will see the unfollow button in the pop-up window. Isn’t it convenient?

Quickly lock in shopping targets

We can always see all kinds of "buy, buy, buy" messages in the circle of friends, and there are many products that we are interested in. If you are not familiar with the friend or do not want to ask, how can you know the price and purchase information of the product involved in the picture? That's right, just long press the picture and select "Search", and you can quickly find the same price and purchase link.

Quickly set friend permissions

Some people always post advertisements in the circle of friends, but we can't avoid interacting with them in life or business. When it is inconvenient to delete them directly, just long press the friend's avatar to pop up the "Set Permissions" button. Click it and select "Don't see him" so that you don't have to see him and you won't be annoyed.
