On the differences between WeChat and SMS from the perspective of verbal communication

First, the difference in consumption. Wechat uses the way of traffic and will not consume any phone bills. SMS uses the method of using telephone charges.

Second, the use of different ways. Wechat further expands and innovates on the basis that SMS can send messages. It can send not only text, but also pictures, voice and video. Wechat has the function of converting voice into text, which completely liberates people who are too lazy to type and have old eyes.

Third, functional differences. SMS is the only innovation that can send MMS, and there are no other new measures, but WeChat is constantly improving and innovating to make its functions richer and more interesting. Wechat miniaturized QQ space, moved it to WeChat, and created a circle of friends in WeChat. You can learn about the life dynamics of other WeChat friends through WeChat's circle of friends, and you can also share and view the web links you are interested in, which greatly expands everyone's life circle and knowledge content.

Fourth, the differences in security. Both SMS and WeChat have security risks to varying degrees. Short messages are often harassed by all kinds of fraudulent short messages and advertising short messages, and many people will be mistaken for the truth by the above contents. In terms of WeChat, because of the introduction of a drift bottle, shake it and find the function of people nearby, many completely unfamiliar strangers add up, and the degree of security is inversely proportional to the degree of trust. At the beginning of the year, a lot of news broke out that all kinds of WeChat were cheated. Wechat is much more virtual than SMS, so its security is lower than SMS.

5. Differences among users. In terms of user groups, young people generally prefer to use WeChat.
