The annual winter solstice is coming as scheduled, have all the friends eaten dumplings or dumplings?
Although Xiao Lei is still working at the station code, his heart has already drifted home, thinking about getting off work early and reuniting with his family.
But the work should be done or it has to be done, no, even the WeChat team is not idle, and a new job is done early in the morning!
Good guys, WeChat has quietly launched a limited status, but it's okay.

It just so happens that many friends have been urging Xiaolei in the background in the past few days, let me introduce what upgrades WeChat has recently had.
Not to mention, since the beta test last month, the official version of WeChat has indeed added a lot of useful new features.
Taking advantage of the limited state of WeChat's launch, Xiaolei plans to take a plate of WeChat's limited functions, and then introduce the new features~
Without further ado, let's start today's "WeChat Inventory"!
A large inventory of WeChat's limited functions
Qualified status
According to the order of first come, first come, first we have to introduce the "Winter Solstice Limited Status" that WeChat has just launched today.
Well, in the WeChat "My Status" column, a fairly obvious "Happy Winter Solstice" small section has been added.
And below the happy words of the winter solstice are the status icons and text descriptions, which are: eating dumplings and eating glutinous rice balls.
One thing to say, the WeChat team is quite thoughtful in this wave and takes care of most of the users in the north and south.
After all, it is also the winter solstice, and friends in the north eat more dumplings, while friends in the south eat more glutinous rice balls~

The steps to open are super simple, and the friends follow Xiaolei step by step:
WeChat bottom bar my - set a status - winter solstice happy plate - select the pattern and enter the text - it's done!

However, Xiao Lei found out, and some netizens said that why didn't there be a "eat mutton soup" in the WeChat status?
There is one thing to say, it is true that some areas eat mutton soup on the winter solstice, and it seems that the details have to be pondered again on WeChat.
Warm reminder, the limited status of the winter solstice is only available today, and it will be offline tomorrow, don't miss it if you want to set it~
In addition to the limited state of the winter solstice, WeChat has also launched other limited states since the beginning of this year, and look at a wave of small thunder disks.

Xiao Lei has the impression that in the New Year of the past two years, WeChat has launched a limited status of "Happy New Year".
You can choose a villain pattern embracing the New Year with open arms, or you can choose to watch the fireworks.

The traditional festival Lantern Festival also has a part, and the limited status of "eating Lantern Festival" has been launched.

During the Labor Day holiday, are you "surfing" outside, or "staying" at home, or "watching the sea of people"?

Valentine's Day is even more fun, and the limited status of "eating dog food" single dogs and "sprinkling dog food" for young couples has been launched.

When I came to the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou this year, WeChat also launched a "cheer" limited status for athletes.

Limited red envelopes
In addition to the limited status, WeChat also has a limited red envelope function, which is mainly reflected in the amount sent and the red envelope cover.
Usually, WeChat red envelopes can only be stuffed with a maximum of 200 yuan, but on Valentine's Day, you can break through the limit to 520 yuan~
This wave of operations, WeChat understands it very well.
In today's increasingly scarce use of cash, it is convenient for men and women to express their love to their partners and shorten the distance between each other.
There is also a time limit for the increase in the amount of red envelopes, and it will be embarrassing to miss the time until 24:00 on the night of Valentine's Day.

The limited-time red envelope cover is also a good way to play.
For example, enterprises can customize exclusive covers to attract users to collect and use them through activities.

Perhaps it is to get everyone involved, and the follow-up WeChat also opened up the permission of personal self-made red envelope covers.
As long as the corresponding conditions are met, the conditions are relatively simple, and you can upload materials to make red envelope covers by yourself.
Generally, the validity period of the red envelope cover is 3 months, and it will be invalid when it expires, and Xiao Lei thinks it is very interesting to limit it once a year.

An inventory of WeChat's recent new features
After chatting about these limited states or functions of WeChat, Xiao Lei took everyone to see what new features WeChat has recently updated.
Reminder function optimization
If there is any important information that you want to remind, WeChat has a long press reminder function before, but it is not accurate enough.
For example, the old version of WeChat reminded that the adjustment span was too large, but fortunately, the new version finally carried out a wave of optimization.
Now you can set the reminder time of the message, which can be as accurate as our mobile phone alarm clock, down to the specific "minute".
It is convenient for us to set reminders directly on WeChat, and we no longer have to switch alarm settings because the interval is too large.

Favorite notes function adjusted
I don't know if my friends use the note function in the collection, Xiaolei is used with high intensity as a code word party.
However, the function may not be valued by WeChat, although it has been adjusted and optimized, but Xiaolei feels that it can be more convenient.
So, in the new version of WeChat, the function of collecting notes has been adjusted a lot.
On the note editing page, there is a clock pattern, and you can click to directly enter the time in the format of year, month, day, hour and minute.

The text in the note now also supports partial highlighting, which can be achieved by clicking the T icon below after selecting the text.

This time, the "voice input text" function has been added, and it supports three languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, and English.
Xiao Lei likes this function the most, after all, no matter how fast he types, he doesn't speak fast, and it is very convenient to convert speech to text in a flash of inspiration.

Circle of friends nine-square grid optimization display
The circle of friends can post up to 9 pictures at a time, and we have spent most of the day tinkering with it in order to make the layout look good.
However, in my friends or my circle of friends, there are only 4 thumbnail pictures of the photos, and the hard work of typesetting is in vain.
The new version optimizes the display effect, and now the photo thumbnail has been increased to 9 pictures, and finally the nine-square grid can be fully displayed.
Source: WeChat
Of course, if there are less than 9 photos in a circle of friends, the display effect of the photos will now be optimized.
For example, Xiaolei's circle of friends only has 3 photos, so only 3 photos are displayed, and it will be automatically typeset according to the number of photos.
There won't be a spot to vacate a piece, driving obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.
There are also some minor changes, and the font size and picture display area of the new version of Moments are significantly larger than the old version.

"Learn Now, Pay Later" is online
In terms of wallet security, WeChat has launched the "learn now, pay later" function.
Xiao Lei took a look, this function is mainly launched around the payment of education and training institutions.
As long as the WeChat Pay score exceeds 600 points, you can enjoy the service of "class first, pay later".

The last class will be deducted once, and if you don't go up, you won't be deducted, so you won't be afraid of paying the money, but the education and training institution will run away.
If you want to cancel halfway through the lesson, you can turn off the deduction service at any time in "My - Wallet - Payment Points - My Services" or on the Deduction Voucher Push page.
At present, in Guangdong, Sichuan and other places, some educational institutions and teaching content platforms have been connected to the "learn now, pay later" function.
In general, while attaching importance to the user's credit rating, while safeguarding the user's consumer rights and interests, WeChat has made great efforts in this regard.
It's only been a while, and WeChat has updated these practical little functions, which can add more chicken legs to the team.
Whether it is from the practical functions, the details of the interface UI, or the small update of the limited status on holidays, it can still be seen that WeChat still attaches importance to our user experience.
Today is the winter solstice, Xiao Lei does not delay too much time for the friends, everyone remembers to eat a rice ball or dumplings after reading the article~
Finally, Xiao Lei wishes his friends a happy winter solstice, and always be happy!
