On April 19, WeChat was updated, bringing 5 changes. Users can edit and edit videos before sending them, videos in the chat interface can be played at 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 times speed, the function options of the Channels homepage have been adjusted, and the "Watch ads and listen to songs for free" entry has been moved to the "My Music" interface.
Although there is a feeling of being poor, it has actually made a lot of improvements in terms of details and features, including the storage footprint that everyone has been worried about. The installation package for this update is 5MB smaller than before. Although it is said that a big application like WeChat, 5MB does not seem to be much, but if it can be streamlined, it will be streamlined, and the more storage space on the mobile phone, the better.
Recently, WeChat has indeed carried out grayscale testing for some users, such as the card pack page, which has been updated for some users, and also shows the floating button bar at the bottom of the article, I don't have a screenshot, after all, I haven't tested it internally, so I can only envy you.
A festive surprise in the state of "watching the sea of people".
Next, let's talk about the small changes in the status of WeChat. Every holiday, WeChat will quietly add some special statuses to the status page, such as May Day, which has an exclusive status for Labor Day. However, not everyone can see these conditions at a glance!

In my status, you will find the status of "watching the sea of people", click on it, post some content, and then your WeChat name will show a new icon on the right, as shown in the figure below.

And the hidden state is even more interesting. Search for the keyword "Labor Day" in WeChat, and the "Welcome Labor Day" button will be displayed below, click the button to publish the status, and then you will get the status and background of Labor Day.
