Recently, WeChat pushed the 3.9.5 official update to some Windows users, and a new "lock function" was added in this version, and after locking WeChat, you will not be able to view the content of the WeChat page or perform any other operations. In addition, Sesame Girl found that WeChat's "Ask a Question" test scope has expanded.
As early as August 2021, Mac WeChat has launched the lock function, and now the lock function is finally online on Windows WeChat. Friends click "≡" in the lower right corner to see the "lock" function.
After locking WeChat, the interface displays "Windows WeChat has been locked" and prompts you to unlock it in the top status bar of the WeChat session list on your phone. The current interface also cannot perform any operations and needs to be unlocked on the mobile phone. When you temporarily leave the computer, you can prevent your WeChat privacy leakage.
The unlocking method is also very simple, you can click "Unlock on phone" on the computer, and then click "Unlock" in the pop-up interface of the phone and click the "Locked" button to unlock the WeChat button on the PC side.
If you authorize to log in to PC WeChat, you can also click the lock status bar at the top of WeChat to unlock PC WeChat.
This feature is currently undergoing small-scale testing and has not yet been officially launched. However, if you have applied for the internal beta permission of the computer version of WeChat, you can download and install the Windows 3.9.5 internal beta login experience, and those who have not applied can not log in even if they download, and the partners can automatically obtain the Windows 3.9.5 internal beta installation package as shown in the figure.
In addition, Sesame Girl found that a new feature that WeChat had previously tested in grayscale had expanded the scope. On the WeChat discovery page, open "Search and Search" and add a "Ask a Question" entrance. After clicking on it, you will be taken to the question square, where you can ask or answer questions.
In the question square, you can see various questions raised by some users and other questions answered by users, including humanities and social sciences, sports and health, travel and play, fashion and beauty, life encyclopedia, food, shopping.
For this function, many netizens called it the WeChat version of Zhihu, which will have certain competitive pressure on Zhihu in the future. What do you think?
Friends can try to see if they are tested internally.
