The Tencent WeChat team officially released the official version of Android WeChat 8.0.40 on July 20, 2023. The official WeChat update description for this version update stated that some known problems have been fixed.
The following editor will introduce some practical updates brought by this version!
1. Preview of main update functions
1. Chat interface optimization
A very practical feature update this time is that the effect of sliding up and waiting for chat records is almost invisible. In the previous version, every time you view the previous chat records, there will be a process of loading and waiting. The experience is not very friendly. In this update, viewing the previous chat records is smoother.
2. Support direct @group members when forwarding content such as article applets to group chats
This function is still very powerful. Sometimes we need to let certain group members see it. Now this function is finally here.
This version update supports forwarding chat content, official account articles, video account videos and live broadcasts, applets, music and other content to WeChat groups, we can directly @ select the corresponding group members or everyone in the forwarding pop-up window, this function is still very practical. See the figure below for details.
It will automatically pull up the page of "Selected Reminders". At this time, the group owner and group administrator can @everyone, other group members can @a certain group member, or select multiple group members @multiple people. It is still very convenient to use.
3. The transfer function adds a reminder function
This version has updated a very good transfer reminder function, which is to transfer two consecutive sums of the same amount to a friend on WeChat, which will trigger a transfer reminder of the same amount.
The prompt page supports directly opening the bill page for confirmation, or directly clicking to continue the transfer.
In addition, it also supports transferring more than 1,000 yuan to newly added WeChat friends, which will trigger a pop-up window to verify the other party's surname. In addition, the WeChat account transfer interface has also added the recipient's WeChat account for easy confirmation.
This function is still very practical, and it is becoming more and more friendly to us to use the payment function.
4. Added functions of "read aloud" and "listen later" to official account
Users who have grayscaled this function, when reading the official account article, we click the "..." button in the upper right corner of the page, and in the page pulled up at the bottom, you will see the new "read aloud" and "listen later" options. All newer users with this update have this feature.
5. Adjustment of official account home page
The "Service" tab at the top of the official account's homepage message list is removed this time, and the menu options in it are moved up and displayed separately. The original "Service" is the official account custom menu entry. This makes it easier for self-media to promote their personal information. Very beneficial improvements.
