WeChat 8.0.1 is here! Finally, you can display your online status

On January 21, WeChat ushered in a major version update. iOS WeChat was updated to version 8.0.0, and brought a series of updates: including online status, dynamic yellow face expressions, image text extraction, new floating windows and other functions. Here are the specific update contents of iOS WeChat version 8.0.

The Android version is still in beta, and now, the iOS 8.0.1 update is also here, which can be said to be very fast. However, as usual, WeChat did not disclose the specific content of the update this time, but this update that follows must have fixed the more urgent issues left over from the 8.0.0 major update. After all, this is a major version update.

In fact, WeChat has not yet released the update log for version 8.0 itself. It only said that several functions have been updated, leaving it to users to explore for themselves.

Specifically, it is a fix for the "online status" function. After updating to version 8.0.0, some friends have the online status function, but many friends do not have the "+Status" option on my page after the update.

Some of them tried restarting WeChat, iPhone or repairing it through WeChat’s help and feedback function, and the function returned to normal, but some users (including the editor) are still unable to set their personal status.

But now the iOS WeChat version 8.0.1 has fixed this problem. If you updated to version 8.0.0 and the "+Status" option does not appear, you can go to the App Store to update to version 8.0.1. After the update, this option will appear.

If you update to version 8.0.0 and the yellow face emoticon you sent does not move, you can also try updating to version 8.0.1.

In addition, the beta version of Android WeChat 8.0.0 has also been released, which also has the following features: online status, dynamic yellow face expressions, image text extraction, new floating windows, etc.

How to use personal status? WeChat - me, click the "+ Status" button below the WeChat ID, select the status icon, and then "Say something". At this time, you can take a photo or select a photo from the album as the status background display.

You can also add a location to the status, set the visible range (public, not visible to anyone), and finally click "That's it" to add the current status. Click "Several friends are also in this status" to browse friends with the same status, like it or view their information.

Friends can see the latest status icon behind the nickname in the chat list and address book list.
