When it comes to WeChat, what will be the first impression of fox friends on "small and beautiful"?
Is it a must-have and feature-rich feature? Or is there more bloated advertising?
But what is certain is that people who have used WeChat must be very proficient in the "C language"!
Perhaps the product manager of WeChat feels the "charm" of everyone's language;
Recently, the WeChat official website launched a "new version":
The most streamlined version of WeChat in history that the majority of fox friends dream of is coming!
Only support four functions: sending WeChat messages, broadcasting messages, answering voice calls, and making voice calls;
Other social attribute functions such as memes, red envelope transfers, and circle of friends are all "cut".
Naturally, there is no advertising, and this new version of WeChat is finally small and beautiful!
But well, this time the Simplified Version of WeChat is not available to everyone.
Because of the threshold for using it, there are hundreds of millions of points high.
At this time, there may be fox friends who are confused:
Why, this lite version of WeChat is like QQ, with a built-in Unreal Engine to send messages? No A15 can't run?
How to say it, it is not that everyone's mobile phone hardware performance is not supported;
After all, even the fruit of the iPhone 13 Pro Max Apple Care + non-Hainan tax-free 1TB Emperor Edition, can not run it ~ ~
Because this lite version of WeChat is the "WeChat car version".
In other words, if you want to use the WeChat Lite version, you have to prepare two things in advance:
Driver's license, and a car that supports the WeChat car version.
The fruit has neither, can only continue to use the standard version of more than 500 MB in size "small and beautiful"...
According to the recently updated "WeChat Car Version" introduction page on the WeChat official website:
At present, the WeChat car version has access to 15 car manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Beijing, Ideal, Great Wall, etc.
Moreover, when the car leaves the factory, the WeChat car version has been adapted, and the unsuitable model does not support separate download and installation.
At the same time, WeChat also said:
In the future, they will also open access to more car manufacturers and strive to make most of the cars installed on the WeChat car version.
Different from the standard version of WeChat that everyone usually uses for mobile phones and computers:
The WeChat car version mainly interacts through voice and does not require touch operation applications.
Operated by the steering wheel buttons, the driver can quickly wake up the WeChat car version:
It can realize convenient broadcasting, replying to messages, answering and hanging up voice calls;
Communicate safely with your friends throughout the entire process without leaving the steering wheel with both hands.
How to use it?
The first step is, of course, to log in to WeChat on the car machine, use WeChat to scan the screen QR code, and confirm it on the mobile phone.
Here it is strongly recommended that WeChat delegate the "automatic login" function of the mobile version to the WeChat car version in the subsequent update!
Because this feature is really so useful!
After successfully logging in, you can use your voice to control it
If you receive a new text message, just say "View unread messages":
The WeChat car version will automatically convert the received text into voice broadcast;
Or play the received voice directly.
When the owner uses the WeChat car version to send a voice message to his friend, the other party will receive a link, and after opening it, it is a voice recording of the owner's reply.
In addition, when the other party uses the mobile version of WeChat to make a video call to the owner:
The WeChat car version will automatically be converted to voice calls~
In terms of privacy, the WeChat car version is also doing a very good job!
When the owner gets off the bus, the WeChat car version will be disconnected and no message records will be saved.
In addition to the above functions, the WeChat car version also has some humanized details:
Using the standard version of the mobile phone's WeChat friends to share location information with the owner, the owner can not only receive, and can set it as a destination, plan the route for navigation; friends who are set as do not disturb in the WeChat account will not be prompted when they receive their messages in the car version.
It is very sad that the much-liked CarPlay does not support the WeChat car version...
But don't worry too much, the WeChat car version will definitely adapt to CarPlay.
Because new energy vehicles will be one of the most important new tracks in the future.
The vehicle machine system is an important part of new energy vehicles!
This is also why more and more mobile phone manufacturers want to build new energy vehicles across borders, and there are more and more rumors that car manufacturers want to acquire mobile phone companies.
In order to create a stronger ecosystem and attract more users, these manufacturers:
Then there is no doubt that they definitely want to make the new energy vehicle's vehicle machine system into a "smart phone"!
Once their own brand smartphones and their own cars create a strong correlation ecology of "1+1>2".
Then these manufacturers can quickly acquire a large number of new users, thus consolidating their position in the new arena!
