9 thoughtful details! WeChat 7.0.9 new version detailed experience

WeChat has been updating very frequently recently, and many times it starts with the Android version. I wonder what my Apple friends think about it.

Recently, the editor accidentally discovered that WeChat has been updated again. Under its "Settings" → "About WeChat" panel, a 7.0.9 internal test notification suddenly appeared .

Without further ado, hurry up and download it to try it out!

Changes to the article sharing page

One of the most obvious changes in the new version is article sharing. In the past, when forwarding an article from a public account, the account and LOGO could not be seen in the shared link.

The new version adds this feature, which is obviously to cultivate the creative enthusiasm of public account authors. At the same time, the new version of the forwarding panel is larger than before and looks much more impressive.

Payment Icon Changes

The new payment icon has changed from the original WeChat payment icon to the current small wallet icon. Does it look familiar? Yes! It is actually the "wallet" icon on the payment secondary page.

Changes to the friend verification page

The new version of WeChat has added a "Don't look at it" option when passing friend verification. To put it bluntly, it directly puts the previous circle of friends permissions into the verification process.

In addition, the new version of the verification page has become more beautiful, with fewer lines, and is lighter and simpler!

The mini program search box is here

The long-awaited mini-program search box is finally here. It is linked to the mini-program search on the "Discover" page, and the previous search history will also be displayed after clicking.

"Discover" → "Mini Program" display page changes

The mini-program panel below the "Discover" page has also changed. The new version follows the design of the old version, but has made adjustments to several commonly used links in the middle.

Among them, "Mini Programs Nearby" and "Everyone is Using" have been changed into buttons, which are easier for users to click.

"Recently used" and "My mini-programs" are replaced with icons and placed behind "Recommended for use".

Long press to identify the personal code

The old version has realized the recognition of public account QR codes. If you long press on a picture containing a QR code, the shortcut menu will directly display the account and LOGO of the corresponding public account.

In the new version, this permission has been extended to personal codes. If the image contains a personal QR code, the friend's nickname and avatar can also be popped up.

Changes to Search

The new version of "Search" has been formalized, with a new logo, and moved from the upper left corner to the center. The prompt text is also larger than the old version, which makes it less tiring to the eyes, and the overall interface looks more like a finished product.

In addition, there are some changes to the icons inside, but the overall difference is not big.

Card Pack Display Changes

The new version of the card pack adds a "sort by distance" prompt, and the display weight of coupons is also higher than the old version.

After clicking on the card package, the vouchers become more clear at a glance and no longer focus on displaying membership cards like the old version.

If you only receive a separate voucher, there is no membership card.

Then it will not be displayed separately in the old version, but in the new version it will appear directly in the list like other vouchers.

The Moments menu has changed

The Moments publishing menu has been moved from the center to the bottom, which is a very thoughtful change and makes daily posting more convenient!

Final Thoughts

The above are some of the small changes that the editor has discovered in version 7.0.9. Due to time limitations, there will inevitably be incomplete introductions, so if you’re interested, you may want to try it out for yourself.

By the way, although 7.0.9 is still called a beta version, you can actually upgrade it yourself through "Me" → "Settings" → "About WeChat" → "Check for new versions".

Based on the usage experience over the past two days, no major bugs have been found in terms of stability.

The problem of video lag when opening, which often occurred in the old version of Moments, has been solved very well in the new version. You can basically watch it anytime you click, and it is very smooth!
