The popular WeChat emoji with yellow face becomes dynamic. For example, the crying face will shed tears, the “crack” will really slowly crack, and the bomb emoji can trigger an explosion special effect, just as Zhang Xiaolong said in his speech “explode” .
In the “I” entry of WeChat, users can add states, including “mood and thoughts”, “work and study”, “activity”, “rest”, etc., and can also set the state name and state background image by themselves. After the setting is completed, you can also see how many friends are also in this state and the details.
Optimize the floating window style. The new version of the floating window is hidden in the upper left corner of the home page. After clicking, the floating window will be drawn on the left side of the home page, displaying unfinished articles in the form of tabs. Users can click the corresponding tab to continue reading. .
Zhang Xiaolong said on Wechat Night that he didn’t like the previous floating window design, just because the user had demand at that time and rushed to make the function, but that floating window style was like a “dogskin plaster”, which was not beautiful enough.
It also supports setting favorite notes, file previews and other pages as floating windows, canceling the previous limitation of supporting up to 5 documents or notes as floating windows.
Added support for historical browsing content. You can pull down the home page to see the recently watched live broadcasts, videos and articles, which are unified in the “Recent” column. Previously, the WeChat drop-down interface only supported viewing “used mini-programs”.
