WeChat 8.0 is online! The yellow face emoticon will now move, and you can also post status, so be sure to update it.

And oh, the update jumps from 7.0.22 to 8.0.

Good guy, Xiao Lei calls him a good guy!

Do you still remember that Zhang Xiaolong revealed the future development trends and priorities of WeChat in the WeChat open class a few days ago.

This WeChat open class has only been open for a few days, and version 8.0 came out of the blue, which really surprised Xiao Lei.

So, does this update include the new features Zhang Xiaolong mentioned in the open class?

Come and explore the new version 8.0 with Xiaolei.

As revealed in the WeChat open class, WeChat has ushered in a new startup interface...

p>

Let’s take a look. If you think it looks good, please put “good-looking” in the comment area!

But, this is indeed a new startup interface, but it is only a one-time...

In other words, the new startup interface will be displayed only after the first startup of upgrading WeChat 8.0.

Every time it is started in the future, it will change back to the original earth.

In Xiao Lei’s view, this is more like an Easter egg, which means that WeChat is ushering in a new start, but it will not abandon the classics because it likes the new and hates the old.

So, if you want to save the new startup interface as a souvenir, remember to take a screenshot of each one. This is a one-time easter egg.

Xiao Lei reminds me that this may not be a new feature for everyone, so don’t expect too much.

In the "Me" interface, you can see that there is an additional status below the avatar.

Clicking in, Xiao Lei found that there are several major states: mood and ideas, work and study, activities, rest and other states.

These big states are subdivided into many small states, such as busy, fishing, checking in, listening to music, etc.

Select one of the states and you will enter an interface similar to QQ Talk, which supports input of text or emoji.

I have to say that this function is really very similar to QQ...

< /p>

After the settings are completed, the "Me" interface will "change color", and each different status will have a different color.

This is different from WeChat’s long-standing “restraint”.

WeChat has always been about restraint, simplicity and monotony. Now with the addition of multiple colors, Xiaolei can’t help but feel that WeChat has also begun to pay attention to the needs of young people and cater to their needs. taste.

In addition, Zhang Xiaolong’s understanding of WeChat status is that he hopes to see who else is in the same status as you, so as to find "similar people".

It seems that this is to further deepen the social relationship of acquaintances on WeChat.

Ye Qingjie! WeChat emoticons are finally undergoing a big change.

Let’s take a look first. This is an old emoticon. This classic QQ little yellow face emoticon has been introduced to WeChat and has not changed for N years.

Only in this year have some new expressions been added.

This is a new expression. It can be seen that although the new expression maintains the "original flavor", it is more vivid in tone.

Compared with the old expression, it is more like a high-definition reset.

But...does anyone feel that there is no internal smell?

In addition, some emoticons also have a full-screen effect.

For example, if you send a bomb, a BOOM will appear on the screen!

Send fireworks and real fireworks will appear and disappear in an instant.

Xiaolei thinks, it may feel fresh when you first come into contact with it, but after playing too much, you will be too lazy to use it...

To get straight to the point, this is the old sharing interface, which has not changed in N years.

And this is the new version of the music sharing interface. Xiaolei thinks it is a bit like the music card in the notification bar of Android 11.

Some friends may think, this is it?

Since they are all major version updates, of course it is not that simple.

Click on the new music card and you will enter a music video interface with lyrics and background videos.

This concept is a bit like the MOO music launched by Tencent before, and friends who have used it should be familiar with it.

If you click on some music and find that there is no video to play, we can also create your own music video.

Click the + sign in the lower right corner to add the video on your phone to the music.

The floating window function is one of Xiao Lei’s favorite functions.

In the past, while reading an article, a message from a friend suddenly came to him. Xiao Lei could only choose one of two options: continue reading the article, or give up the article and reply to the friend's message.

The emergence of floating windows solves this problem very well.

However, Zhang Xiaolong didn’t seem to like the original floating window. He also said: It’s like a dog-skin plaster...

So , the new floating window form is finally here.

As usual, Xiao Lei swipes the article to the right to trigger the floating window function, and a small prompt will appear in the upper left corner.

When you return to the main interface of WeChat, have you noticed that there are two more dots in the upper left corner?

You may not believe it, but this is Zhang Xiaolong’s understanding of floating windows. He directly hid the floating windows in the new interface.

Click on the upper left corner to enter the floating window interface. Xiaolei thought, isn't this equivalent to multi-task management in WeChat?

The articles in the floating window interface can be switched at will, which is really like multi-tasking switching in the background.

In addition, the mini program interface drop-down from the main WeChat interface is no longer a world exclusive to mini programs.

There are small programs that I have used, music that I have listened to, and articles that I have not read yet.

However, the design of the floating window means that it cannot open unread articles in the most intuitive way.

For example, when you are chatting with others, you cannot directly bring up the floating window to read articles.

According to Xiao Lei, this is not as effective as the original "dog skin plaster".

Xiaolei mentioned in his previous QQ update article that WeChat has many functions to copy QQ’s homework.

This update met Xiao Lei’s guess.

Especially the addition of "My Status" made Xiaolei feel that WeChat is getting closer to QQ.

Of course, to some extent, this means that WeChat pays more attention to the needs of young users.

Functionally, this update is not really a change, but starting from the basic experience to make users more comfortable is still a good update.
