Red envelopes are rolling in! Have you used these new features of WeChat?

The Spring Festival is just a few days away, and many people have already started preparing for the New Year. WeChat, as the nation's number one social tool, is naturally not idle. Recently, the Android and iOS versions have been launched, and a lot of new features related to the New Year have also appeared. What are they? Let's take a look.

1. WeChat red envelope grab is here!

In the past two days, all major platforms have started a craze for grabbing red envelopes. Although the money is not much, it is very popular! Finally... WeChat can't sit still anymore and has taken action!

I guess everyone has received a lot of red envelopes these two days~

Open the "File Transfer Assistant" and enter "Pepsi-Cola". After a moment, a bunch of Coke bottles will automatically fly down the screen. Do you see the bright red "lucky bag"? Click it and you will have a chance to draw a random red envelope.

After entering the word "Pepsi Cola", you can randomly receive a red envelope

In addition to "Pepsi-Cola", the editor found that some other words can also activate the red envelope function, such as "7-Up" and "Mirinda". The gameplay is the same, and the income is not bad, so hurry up and try it.

There are also some keywords that can activate red envelopes

2. "Service" search is launched

A new "Service" column has been added below the search bar, which mainly includes some services related to travel, such as "Health Code", "Itinerary Card", "Travel Policy Inquiry", "Nucleic Acid Testing", etc. The biggest highlight is that it saves the trouble of manual search and can be easily retrieved with one click. At the same time, some popular search terms are also pinned to the top, such as "Ride Code", "Train Schedule Inquiry", "Flight Dynamic Inquiry", "Express Inquiry", "Medical Insurance Electronic Certificate", etc. Overall, it is quite convenient.

3. New Year’s greetings red envelopes are now available

Open the personal chat page and click "Red Envelope" to see the newly added "New Year's Greetings Red Envelope". After clicking, an amount and a blessing will appear randomly on the screen. If you are not satisfied with the default amount, you can also click "Switch Amount" below to switch. Unlike ordinary red envelopes, the New Year's Greetings Red Envelope will add the three words "Happy New Year" on the cover, and the style is also different from ordinary red envelopes. But I think the most attractive thing is the "Shoot New Year's Greetings Expression" in "Add Expression". After entering, a set of special effects will appear, which can capture festive and interesting real-life dynamic expressions in real time. Wouldn't it be more interesting to send such a red envelope to friends!

4. WeChat status in Moments

Version 8.0 adds WeChat status, which can be displayed in chat lists and personal information pages, and the new version extends it to Moments. At the same time, long pressing the "Search" function in the Moments text or picture seems to be a new feature, which can quickly complete the text and picture search.

5. Personal red envelope cover is now available

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you want to make your red envelope more personalized? Although WeChat already supports customized red envelope covers, it was previously only available to corporate users, and due to the cost, all red envelope covers were limited. Starting from this version, red envelope covers are officially open to individual users. Unlike corporate red envelopes, personal red envelopes are free throughout the process. As long as you have opened a video account and the work you publish has received more than 10 likes, you can directly search for "WeChat red envelope cover" in WeChat and make your own exclusive red envelope cover.

Individuals can also make red envelope covers for free

Final Thoughts

WeChat has been very active these past two days. It is really surprising that it has maintained such a high update rate when there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year!
