In the past two months, WeChat has basically maintained a monthly update status. Although you can only see the familiar words "solved some known issues" in the changelog, we have dug up some interesting updates for you, including the biggest update in the new version - built-in "WeChat Music".
▍ Instant messaging? Listen to songs instantly!
When it comes to WeChat, many people's views may no longer be "instant messaging software", but a complete "life application". Extended from social communication and consumer payment, WeChat can meet almost all the needs of life: movie ticketing, dining ordering, and even playing games with mini programs, which has become a "WeChat OS".
In the 8.0.36 update released yesterday, WeChat even started the idea of sibling QQ Music, which wants users to not even leave WeChat to listen to songs.
At present, WeChat does not provide music entrance on the "discovery page", but you can search for "music" or the song you want to listen to through the WeChat search box to enter the "music" interface.
WeChat not only put the knife against QQ Music, but even the national K song. On the search page, you can not only play songs directly, but even tap the microphone icon directly to sing a song you like.
You may find these elements very familiar, yes, these elements are actually copies of sibling QQ Music, and the song also directly indicates "from QQ Music" in the lower left corner of the cover, and in the lower right corner you can see how many people are listening to the song at the same time.
Compared with the "WeChat Music" that everyone ridicules, it is more like integrating a simple version of QQ Music in WeChat, and will directly call the data of the WeChat account in QQ Music. If your WeChat account has opened QQ Music Green Diamond, then you can also listen to those VIP songs in WeChat, otherwise you will be prompted to go to QQ Music to turn on.
However, the digital albums that the account has purchased can be listened to directly in WeChat. In addition, after entering the main interface of "Music" for the first time, WeChat will also give you VIP permission for a period of time, which can listen to all music, valid until June 30th. And the VIP permission is only valid in WeChat and cannot be brought to QQ Music.
▍Apple Watch supports sending pictures
In the previous version, Apple Watch version of WeChat was in a tasteless and pity position to abandon. Only has a simple message sending and receiving function, although there is an exclusive "small signal" function, the experience of sending and receiving WeChat on Apple Watch is really not comfortable.
In the WeChat 8.0.36 update, Apple Watch also ushered in a small upgrade. The first is the optimization of fluency, compared to the original experience of stuttering at every turn, clicking into chat and waiting for a long time to send messages, the new version has become smoother, whether it is browsing the menu, entering the chat or using WeChat Pay, the experience is much better.
▍ Other updates
In addition to the new features mentioned above, there are some minor updates in this update:
• The call notification avatar function added in the previous version is open to more users;
• With the "Music" function, in "My > Settings > General", a personalized recommendation setting of "Music and Audio" has been added;
• The Moments pinning feature starts grayscale to more users.
