After a lapse of two and a half months, WeChat finally ushered in an update, Android is version 8.0.18, and iOS is version 8.0.17.
Because the version has not been released for a long time, the update content of WeChat is a bit too much. Today, I will take you to understand it as a whole.
If I don't list them, you certainly don't know.
But this is WeChat's consistent product concept: you don't have to care about what I update, as long as you can use it in a specific scenario.
And self-media people always like to dig out the new functions of WeChat, such as me.
For those who want to upgrade to the latest version of WeChat, please reply to "WeChat" in the backstage of the Product Notes Official Account to go directly to the update address.
I divided the content of this WeChat update into four parts.

17. Remove "Help and Feedback" from the upper right corner of the home page

19. Top WeChat → Weixin
20. Waiting for you to find out
Is it a lot of new features or optimizations, that's just what I've found. It is estimated that there are more than 10 functions that I have not found.
The specific new features are described below.
1. Compliance category
1. Upgrade of personal privacy rights
Added "Personal Information Collection List" and "Third-Party Information Sharing List" in the settings, click to view your own information collection and sharing.
2. The applet can check "personal information and rights management"
Click More on the Mini Program homepage to view the "Personal Information and Rights Management" of each Mini Program, which can be viewed and operated.
3. Add WeChat "Customer Service Phone"
"My-Settings-About WeChat" page has added a WeChat customer service number. This is really rare.
These three functions are actually required by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
On November 1, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Carrying out Actions to Improve the Perception of Information and Communication Services", hereinafter referred to as the "Notice".
The notice clearly states:
1) All relevant companies should establish a list of collected personal information and a list of shared personal information with third parties, and display it in the second-level menu of the APP to facilitate user inquiries
2) Publicize the telephone number of the customer service hotline on prominent places such as the website and APP
2. Chat experience improvement
4. Voice messages support "pause/continue playback"
The voice pause/continue playback function is the most popular function of WeChat users this time, and it once rushed to the WeChat hot list. Because it solves the madness of needing to listen to the headline after the voice is cut off.
5. Added "read text message" in care mode
After enabling this function, click on the text in the chat to play it automatically. Good news for elderly friends.
6. The chat window can directly "send music"
In the chat, it supports searching and sending music. After the other party opens the music, if the music is made into a music video, the content of the video will be played, and you can also go to the homepage of the producer's video account.
It can be regarded as another traffic entry for the video account.
7. Group chat can be set "Only the group owner/group administrator can modify the group name"
Dedicated to that idiot who likes to change group names blindly.
8. Video calls can "blur the background"
Never worry about your kennel being seen by your girlfriend again.
9. The address book supports "delete friends in batches"
It is too tiring to delete users one by one, and finally supports batch deletion. Those irrelevant people can clear out the address book.
10. Wechat "Historical status interface revision"
Before the revision, the big cards displayed were meaningless. After the revision, it is much more refreshing.
3. Video number and live broadcast
11. Take a look at the new "Video Channel" on the homepage
At present, the traffic of "Kankan" on WeChat is increasing. The content of the "Video" channel comes from the video account.
Another large traffic entry was added to the video account.
12. When watching the video number, you can "display new news"
Don't let you miss new news just because you watch the video number.
13. The live broadcast can continue to play after "leaving WeChat"
After opening, continue to play after leaving WeChat, avoiding the trouble of re-opening after leaving WeChat.
This is a bit powerful, and all video websites will follow up, and it is an artifact of user retention.
14. The live broadcast supports "floating window" playback
After clicking the zoom button, the floating window of the live broadcast will be suspended on WeChat and continue to play. You can perform other operations on WeChat while watching the live broadcast, which is seamless and very smooth.
15. Video number optimization "minimization"
On the content interface of the video account, click to zoom, and the floating window will be suspended on WeChat for voice playback.
The purpose of the first two functions is the same as this function. When watching videos and live broadcasts, it will not affect your other operations. Great experience.
Fourth, the description of the text
16. Change "payment" to "service"
For this entry, the previous copy was "payment", but after changing it to "service", it is more accurate. Because after entering the page, there are a lot of life, e-commerce, travel, financial and other services.
17. Remove "Help and Feedback" from the upper right corner of the home page
There was a "Help and Feedback" entry under the "Receipts and Payments" of the previous entry. Due to the low frequency of use, it has been removed.
18. Added "other data" in the storage space
Tell you that this part of the data cannot be cleaned up. If this part of data is particularly large, it should be the data of other WeChat accounts. To clean up the data of other accounts, you need to log in to the corresponding WeChat account to clean up.
19. Top WeChat → Weixin
Weixin is more direct and has a stronger brand than wechat.
20. Waiting for you to find out
These are the updates that were discovered. But according to the character of WeChat, it is estimated that there are no less than 10 new functions that I have not discovered, which require you to explore and discover.
From this version, we can see that the purpose of this version of WeChat is to solve these problems:
1) Compliance, follow the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
2) Solve the problem of exclusive windows during live broadcast and video use, and support switching back and forth between Shunlian and other products
3) Divert the video number
4) Optimize the experience in communication and chat
5) Optimize the copy description to make the logo clearer
