Good evening, guys!

We've been talking about mobile phones for a while now, do you feel like something is missing? That's right, I haven't talked about WeChat for a long time.

It's not that Xiaolei doesn't want to talk, but in the last few versions, WeChat is mostly based on small repairs and small repairs, and there are no major changes.

Until early this morning, Xiao Lei suddenly got up and received an invitation to the beta version of WeChat Android 8.0.50.

Although WeChat's changelog still "optimizes some known issues", it is not difficult at all.

Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of this update, Xiao Lei immediately carried out a wave of detailed experience, not to mention that there were really two times.

This time, Android WeChat 8.0.50 beta version,It does update and optimize a lot of functions,Practicality is full。

Not much beep, then Xiao Lei will take everyone to take a look, WeChat has been updated with something good~

Videos can be played at double speed

Xiao Lei often has to watch the videos sent by Brother Beep because of his work, and the video duration is short, but he is most afraid of being long.

If you send several long videos at once, sometimes you get busy, so you can only watch them slowly at a normal speed.

If you want to say the most convenient way, you can only download it to your phone or computer, and then use a third-party player to speed up the playback.

Downloading videos, opening and playing them with a third-party player, and deleting them after watching them are really cumbersome.

Presumably many friends also have similar experiences to Xiao Lei, right? Fortunately, this time WeChat finally heard our voice.

In the beta version of Android WeChat 8.0.50, the video playback interface of the chat interface has ushered in a wave of many changes.

The new version of WeChat has added a video "double speed" option, and the pause/play button in the lower left corner of the progress bar has been removed.

Now we want to pause/play the video, just click on any area of the video, and it is more convenient to operate with one hand.

At present, the double speed option of the video interface provides a total of 1.5x and 2x adjustment, which is enough for daily use.

In the future, I can watch the long video sent by Brother Beep at least half of the time and give a five-star review.

Search page revision

In the new version of WeChat, the WeChat search page has also undergone a wave of revisions.

The icon of "Search" at the top has been removed, and the font size has also been reduced by a round, and the position has also been moved up.

Originally, the circle of friends, music, articles and WeChat index at the bottom of the search box were hidden.

The new version of WeChat search needs to click on the search box to show four search categories, which is not as intuitive as before.

But hey, there are also good things about this update, and now the homepage of Soyisou can display more content.

What do you think of this wave of updates? Xiao Lei commented, there are gains and losses~

Added category recommendations for Mini Programs

Xiao Lei dares to say that today's WeChat mini program has already become an indispensable helper in our daily life.

So, in recent years, the ecology of WeChat Mini Programs has been expanding, and WeChat has been upgrading from time to time.

This new version of WeChat has added a "Mini Program Recommendation", which can recommend relevant Mini Programs based on our usage records.

At present, the categories of mini programs recommended by WeChat to Xiaolei cover mini games, efficiency and tools, information and entertainment, business services, and shopping consumption.

In fact, there are more than the above 5 categories, Xiaolei counted, and the mini program recommendation also includes 17 categories in the following box selection.

Here I would like to remind you that if you want to get Mini Program recommendations, you need to turn on "Personalized Recommendations".

The specific path to open is: WeChat - Discover - Mini Program - Villain icon in the upper right corner - Mini Program personalized recommendation - On.

Music is newly bound to QQ members

Xiaolei and everyone mentioned before that WeChat Music previously provided the function of "watching advertisements and providing free listening to VIP".

But what if some people just don't want to be too lazy or don't want to watch ads and want to listen to songs? Huh! WeChat has made another big move.

After updating the new version of WeChat beta version, click to enter music, and you can see the prompt of "Bind QQ Music Member".

At this time, click "Go Binding", you can jump to QQ Music to bind members, and realize WeChat sharing VIP rights.

So,If you've opened a QQ member,Then you can bind it.,Sometimes if you want to listen to songs, just listen to WeChat directly.。

In general, this wave of WeChat operations has realized the need to listen to songs in a lightweight manner while chatting, and Xiaolei thinks it's okay.

Contacts tag management revised

"Circle of friends grouping" must be a necessary operation for many people to post moments today, and it is difficult to make a mistake if you slip your hand.

The new version of WeChat has made a wave of changes to the address book tag this time, with small adjustments to the interface and big changes to the operation logic.

In the old version of WeChat, if you want to create a new tag (that is, a group), you need to set the tag name first, and then select a friend to add.

The new version of WeChat is to set the label name first and then select friends to add, which is the opposite of the operation of the old version of WeChat.

In fact, Xiao Lei thinks that the operation of the two methods is almost the same, which group logic do you think is more convenient?

A few minor changes

In addition to the above obvious function updates, Xiaolei also found some changes in the beta version of Android WeChat8.0.50.

WeChat status optimization

The "send one" of the WeChat state, the old version is blessed with a pattern logo on the left, and the new version removes the pattern and changes it to the right.

It looks a little more refreshing, and putting the send button on the right is more like the operating logic of posting a circle of friends.

Changed the name of the card pack

Those who have been tested in grayscale may find that the name of their card pack has become "Order and Card Pack".

Perhaps in the future, the entrance of the card package will also be added to the order through WeChat payment, which is convenient for us to make quick inquiries.

OK, the above upgrade points are what Xiao Lei spent 1 day experiencing.

One thing to say, this time the time is really in a hurry, and it is estimated that there are still some functions Xiaolei failed to understand the feelings in time.

If you find a function that you haven't mentioned, please leave a message in the comment area, and we will focus on a check and fill in the gaps.

The old rule, the link to the Android WeChat 8.0.50 beta version is ready, and the [Xiaolei beep] official account can be obtained by replying to the keyword [internal test].
