WeChat's new function makes netizens complain: If this continues, we can only use DingTalk

WeChat is probably the most used chat app in China. With the growth of users, WeChat has continuously launched new versions. Recently, WeChat has been updated again, but this time, the new features launched by WeChat have caused netizens to complain frequently!

Currently, WeChat for iOS has been updated to version 7.0.20. It is worth noting that there is an additional "WeChat Bean" on the profile page. What is this?

In fact, "WeChat Beans" are props used to pay for virtual items in WeChat. You can buy virtual gifts during video live broadcasts. To put it bluntly, it is to exchange real money for virtual currency, and then use it to buy virtual props. 7 "WeChat Beans" are priced at 1 yuan, 126 are priced at 18 yuan, 350 are priced at 50 yuan, 896 are priced at 12 yuan, 2086 are priced at 298 yuan, and 3626 are priced at 518 yuan. So, what are these "WeChat Beans" used for?

This brings us to another new feature of this version of WeChat. When you open the Discover page, you can find that the previous "People Nearby" has been added as "Live Broadcasts and People Nearby". In other words, "WeChat Beans" are used to reward anchors.

Seeing this, I am sure many people are thinking the same as I do: Oh my goodness, here they come to take advantage of you again! To be honest, I personally don’t like the updated version of WeChat, especially from the following perspectives. I think the launch of the live broadcast function on WeChat does more harm than good.

Perspective 1: We use WeChat now just to make it easier to contact friends and family. On this basis, we can record some daily life in Moments. The so-called live broadcast function is superfluous.

Perspective 2: Nowadays, almost every kid has a smartphone. They probably spend the most time on WeChat, so they are inevitably addicted to live streaming. WeChat is one of the main payment methods nowadays, and it is very convenient to buy so-called "WeChat beans". As a result, they may spend all the living expenses given by their parents on live streaming.

Perspective 3: Most of the current live broadcasts are meaningless. Although there are many live broadcast platforms, you just need to not download them, but WeChat cannot be used without them. If you accidentally click on them, especially some children, they may become addicted to them and be corrupted by some bad content.

In fact, the new version of WeChat has also caused dissatisfaction among netizens.

The chat software is not well made and has started to add all kinds of messy things.

A chat software is larger than a game software and takes up several GB of mobile phone memory.

Aren't minors not allowed to vote on the charts or give gifts? Is this a disguised form of support?

Some netizens even bluntly said: It's becoming more and more fancy. This is why they didn't use QQ in the first place. If it continues, they may have to use DingTalk only.

In this regard, what do you think about the updated version of WeChat opening the live broadcast and purchase WeChat Beans function?
