Simple mode returns to the original intention of mobile QQ new internal beta experience

Entering 2019, both QQ and WeChat are being updated at an unprecedented speed.

Recently, Tencent released a new version of QQ Mobile 8.1 beta. In addition to the usual detail changes, the biggest highlight of this version is the addition of a new feature - "Simple Mode".

1. Turn on "Simple Mode"

Simple mode is not the default mode of the new version, you need to turn it on manually in the options.

The specific method is: click the QQ avatar in the upper left corner → Settings → General, and click the "Simple Mode" button at the top. Next, let's take a look at what is so simple about this simple mode!

2. White vs. Blue

After entering the simple mode, the biggest change that comes into view is that the overall frame changes from sky blue to grayish white.

This feeling is actually quite similar to the previous official "white minimalist" theme, but more thorough. The actual mobile phone display effect is also very good, it looks relatively refreshing and elegant!

There is a small detail here, that is, the shortcut button at the bottom has also changed from color to black and white, which is also in line with the theme of the new version.

3. Small black and white buttons

The chat window has been adjusted, and the small icons in the function area have been changed from colorful to black and white. And the author found a small detail that the new version of the emoticon panel seems to be much larger than the old version, and more emoticons can be viewed on one screen.

The function area has also changed to black and white style (the screenshots are from the mobile QQ 8.1 beta version)

4. Chat history classification search

Chat search has added a top filter bar and cancelled the previous category page.

The personal record search also adds a timeline prompt, which allows you to directly see which day the current content belongs to when dragging the page. Of course, there is also the previous calendar mode, and the following are related screenshots.

5. Storage cleanup

Storage cleanup has been upgraded, replacing the old version's ring chart with a straight chart. At the same time, the cleanup items are also clearer than the old version.

The three functions of "Clear message list", "Clear all chat records" and "Clear cached data" have been merged to better suit the operating habits of most users.

6. Customize your online status

Customized online status is also a highlight of the new version, which can be found in Settings → Privacy → Customized online status.

Contains two functions, "Custom status text" and "Custom model". You can define the status content yourself.

However, this feature seems to be only available to super members, and can only be seen in versions above 8.1, which is a change that has little to do with ordinary people. However, it looks quite fun.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the update of this new version is quite significant, and the new "simple mode" is excellent in both appearance and coordination.

It is worth mentioning that after this update, the ads are almost invisible, which is a small benefit!
