After about ten days of internal testing, on April 22, WeChat suddenly released the official version update of Android platform 8.0.49.
As always, the official changelog remains unchanged for 10,000 years, "Fixed some known bugs".
However, after some experience, this official update still brings some new changes.
This change is mainly focused on the optimization of the interface of Channels and Subscriptions.
Students who have not yet updated to the latest version can reply to the keyword "WeChat" in the background of the official account Qi Jam to get the download link.
Next, let's take a look at the new changes in the new version of WeChat!
Optimized the interactive function of the subscription account
Students who updated to the official version of 8.0.49 in advance should have noticed this change when watching this article.
That is, the buttons such as like, share, and watch of the article are fixed at the bottom of the text.
Previously, users who wanted to interact with the article needed to manually pull to the bottom before they could "like, retweet, watch", etc.
As a result, the user experience is naturally poor.
Now, as long as you open the article, you can interact at any time, which greatly facilitates the operation.
In the previous version, this feature has been launched in grayscale, and with the launch of the official version, the coverage has been further expanded.
It is expected that in the next version, a full update will be ushered in soon.
Optimized the pinned display of subscription accounts
In addition to the article page, the pinned function of the subscription account has also been optimized.
In the new version, articles that are featured at the top of the subscription account will be displayed in a large picture at the top of the content stream.
Of course, when the user enters the official account again, the featured article will still be collapsed, and it will not appear unless the user actively clicks on it.
This new change can be said to be a two-way benefit for creators and users.
Optimized the Channels page
After talking about the subscription account, the video account also ushered in a small optimization.
In the new version of WeChat, when we open the personal homepage of the video account, we will find that the "Browsing Settings" have been modified to "My Views".
Next to "My Browse", there is also a new "Settings" option.
Based on this, the "Privacy" in the old version has also been moved to the "Settings" option.
In addition, if you click to enter the "Settings" option, you will also find that the "Record Recently Watched Videos" feature has been added, which users can turn on or off by themselves.
The official reminder is that after the feature is turned on, the user's browsing history in the last 7 days will be recorded, which can only be seen by himself.
The red envelope cover is given free of charge
In the new version of WeChat, the WeChat team finally brought the "Red Envelope Cover Zone".
Compared with the past, we need to search for red envelope covers everywhere, and now the official has launched a special "Cover Collar" column.
First of all, open any dialog box and click "Red Envelope" - "Red Envelope Cover" - "Cover Cover" in the upper right corner.
After entering, you can see all the red envelope covers, and users can collect and use them for free.
Watch ads, listen to VIP music, change location
In the previous version, at the top of the WeChat Music interface, a banner saying "Watch ads and listen to VIP music for free" will be displayed.
Once clicked, users can get a 30-minute VIP by simply watching a 15-second ad.
After this update, the official adjusted the entrance of "Watch ads and listen to VIP music for free" and moved it to the top of the "My Music" interface.
As a result, the main music interface is much cleaner and fresher.
Added rating display to the Mini Program
Students who often use Mini Programs should find that the new version of WeChat has also optimized the rating of Mini Programs.
That is, when you open the Mini Program, the score will be displayed directly in the upper right corner.
This optimization can help users quickly judge the reputation of the Mini Program, and then decide whether it is worth using.
The above are some of the new changes in the official version of Android 8.0.49.
