Years of experience in the operation of social tools, Tencent has long become a difficult to replace the domestic social field of the Internet giant, and the current popular WeChat, its penetration rate of almost reached 100%, this is the only domestic user number of more than 1 billion social applications, WeChat every update, affect the domestic hundreds of millions of users. Therefore, WeChat has always been a "restrained" posture for users, not only slow to update, but also limited in many functions.
In the past few years, WeChat will update some heavy functions every year until the end of the year, such as the end of 2014, WeChat launched a "shake a shake" red packet, in 2015, WeChat launched a small signal function, in 2016 brought a small program, in 2017 added a small game. The introduction of these features will be all the rage. The reason why the attitude of restraint in the update is that the user group is too large, to ensure that each update will not have problems, if not done well, frequent updates, but will smash their own brand.
In terms of restricting functions, also because the audience is very large, the user's mobile phone configuration is different, and unblocking some functions will bring more trouble to some mobile phone users with lower configuration. It is worth noting that with the rapid development of the semiconductor and mobile phone industries, users are increasingly calling for WeChat to cancel some restrictions, and Tencent has finally made a move, allowing WeChat to usher in a major update!
The function that the Chinese people are looking forward to has finally arrived
Recently, the WeChat Android internal beta version 8.0.20 was suddenly launched, it can be said that the feature that the Chinese people are looking forward to has finally come!
Netizens who often send videos and pictures through WeChat know that in the process of using WeChat to send files, some larger files will be restricted, and some files will be automatically compressed by the system, and when sent to each other, these videos or pictures will be seriously affected in terms of clarity. The android 8.0.20 update, almost let the Chinese people get rid of this trouble, not only the video file size increased to 1GB, and after viewing the original video, the clarity of the video will not be compressed, even if the 4K original video is sent, the clarity is not affected.
Previously, many people sent large files through QQ, but QQ's endless information pop-up window did make the Chinese people criticize, and this WeChat update is simply one of the functions that the Chinese people are most looking forward to, and for most office workers, it is a kind of welfare. Apple users don't have to worry, IOS version 8.0.18 also supports this feature. But whether it is Android or Apple users, the video of the circle of friends will still be compressed, which may be to alleviate the storage pressure of WeChat.
Changes to details
In addition to the function of sending high-definition videos, WeChat has also ushered in changes in some details, and the location of the "caller ringtone" function is more obvious, placed in the "personal information". When you dial a WeChat phone call, you can display the ringtone of the other party, see his recent status function, and remind the other party of the ringtone information after the call is over. On the service page, WeChat has swapped its positions for life services and financial management, making WeChat closer to "life" instead of "business and finance".
This kind of "high-quality" update on WeChat is indeed rare. On the one hand, the improvement of mobile phone hardware performance, let us enter the video ultra-clear era in advance, 4K resolution life records, casual minutes are hundreds of megabytes, cancel the restrictions on high-definition video, large files, is indeed a demand. On the other hand, the number of 5G users continues to rise sharply, and the 5G news known as "WeChat busters" launched by the three major operators has landed and will become an important carrier of the digital yuan. In the face of huge competitiveness, WeChat had to adjust its strategy in time to launch functions with 5G features.
And weChat's function has also received praise from many netizens, including the editor of the PC office, and Ma Huateng finally has a conscience! What do you think about this update?
