Can WeChat be used like this? Hidden WeChat operations that will open your eyes

WeChat is used every day, but do you know how many secrets are hidden in WeChat? Take the most common "long press" for example. Perhaps you are used to long pressing to send voice and long pressing to convert text, but in fact, there are definitely more tips about "long press" in WeChat than you know! Let's take a look.

1. Long press to play video with mute function

There are often many videos sent to the group. What if you happen to be in an environment where it is not convenient to play the sound? Long press the video and select "Mute Play" in the pop-up menu. At this time, you will find that although the video is playing, it will not make any sound, so you don't have to worry about disturbing others.

2. Long press to search for related emoticons

If a friend sends you an emoji, wouldn't it be "disrespectful" if you don't think of a way to respond? The question is, how can you find a similar emoji as quickly as possible? In the latest version of WeChat, just long press on the other person's emoji and select "Related emojis". Then WeChat will automatically select some emojis with similar styles to the current one. It feels great to respond to emojis!

3. Long press the citation information

When asking questions in a group, the biggest fear is that they will be mixed up with other people's questions. If you want to get an accurate answer to each question, the best way is to long press the previous question and then select "Quote". In this way, the original question will be automatically attached to each reply, so you don't have to worry about the other party getting confused.

4. Long press to bring up the phone camera

Although WeChat has its own camera, it has few functions and the photos taken are average. In fact, if we click "+" in the chat window,

Long press the "Album" button to directly call up the system camera. Some friends asked, why is it "Album" instead of "Photo"? Well... you have to ask WeChat itself.

8. Long press the translation image

When you get an English manuscript, many people first think of a translation app. But if the manuscript has too many pages or is directly in the form of pictures, then translation software may not be the best choice. Try long pressing on the picture and select "Translate text in picture", and the result will come out immediately.

Later, WeChat will automatically translate the voice message into text and display it below. This trick is especially useful in some meetings.

WeChat will automatically fill in the @ prefix of the friend, and then you can enter your information.
