After about 20 days, Android WeChat has released a new version, with the version number 8.0.46, which is the same as the latest version of iOS WeChat. If there are no accidents, the next update should wait until after the Spring Festival holiday. In this update, it still "fixes some known issues".
After actual experience and feedback from netizens, the update content of WeChat for Android 8.0.46 is basically the same as that of iOS 8.0.46, bringing 2 new features that are more practical. Next, I would like to give you a brief introduction.
Storage space cleanup optimization
In the latest version of WeChat for Android 8.0.46, click "Me" - "Settings" - "Storage", and then you can see that the new version of WeChat has split the original "Other Data" option into two new options: "Resource files and chat history of other accounts" and "Necessary files", of which the former can be cleaned manually.
Previously, "Other Data" was not cleanable, but now it is split to provide a cleanup option, which means that the space occupied by WeChat can be further freed up. However, it should be noted that the chat history of other accounts cannot be restored after being cleaned, so be sure to make a backup before cleaning.
Listen to VIP music for free
The second important feature brought by WeChat for Android version 8.0.46 is that you can listen to VIP music for free by watching ads in the music player, 30 minutes of free listening time for watching 15-second ads, and additional free time for continuing to watch ads.
This should belong to the function of QQ music decentralization, if you don't want to download the listening software separately in your mobile phone, then the WeChat music player is still quite fragrant. In addition, if you are already a QQ Music member, you can also listen to VIP songs directly in WeChat Music.
In addition, there are some minor adjustments, such as the addition of a swipe operation for audio playback, swiping the cover to the left to quickly jump to the original text, and the new "Discover Mini Program Personalized Recommendation" function in the Mini Program, which provides a disabling option.
In addition, it was recently revealed that the graphic function that has been in internal testing for more than half a year will soon be launched, and the function is integrated in the "Take a look" interface, and the content presentation method is similar to that of the Xiaohongshu App, so it is also called "Little Green Book" by many netizens.
Overall, although the overall changes in the WeChat for Android 8.0.46 version update are not too big, the new features are quite useful, such as cleaning up "resource files and chat history of other accounts" can further free up the storage space of the phone, and "watching ads and listening to VIP music" can also easily prostitute for 30 minutes of VIP treatment. Overall, it's worth upgrading.
So, what other features would you like WeChat to include?
