Recently, some netizens found that WeChat quietly launched a new feature in the latest update - lock screen recording. It is understood that this function allows users to record when the phone is locked, and no recording icon will be displayed on the lock screen, thus ensuring the privacy and security of users. According to feedback from netizens, this new feature can be found through the "General" option in the "Settings" menu of WeChat.
In the "General" settings, users can find the "Lock Screen Recording" option, which can be turned on or off after clicking to enter. It is worth noting that this lock screen recording feature does not display a recording icon on any interface of the phone, and only after the user unlocks the phone, a prompt that the recording is complete will be displayed in the notification bar. This guarantees the privacy of the user and does not waste power by forgetting to turn off recording.
As the largest social software in China, WeChat has been constantly optimizing and upgrading its functions to meet the needs of users. The lock screen recording function launched this time is undoubtedly another important measure to protect user privacy. However, the launch of this feature has also caused some controversy, and some netizens are worried that this feature may be used by criminals to infringe on the privacy of others. In this regard, WeChat officials said that they will strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations to ensure that users' privacy rights are not violated.
At the same time, they also call on users to use this function reasonably and avoid abuse. Overall, this new feature of WeChat undoubtedly provides users with more convenience and privacy protection. However, how to protect privacy while preventing this function from being abused is also a major challenge for WeChat. We expect WeChat to find a balance in the future development, which can not only protect users' privacy, but also meet users' needs.
