So whether you are an Android user who can participate in beta testing, or an iOS user waiting to be updated, this article is worth reading.

To help you better understand the update, we compared the new capabilities of WeChat 7.0.7 for Android beta with WeChat 7.0.6 for Android. The directory is as follows:

First, the “…” menu of each page is revised

In WeChat, many pages have a “…” symbol in the upper right corner, which means more features.

The biggest change in this WeChat 7.0.7 for Android beta is in “…”, you can see that either the webpage, the public article, the applet, or the friend profile page has occurred more or more Less changes, if you want to summarize, it is more like the layout of WeChat on iOS.

Webpage

Open any webpage in WeChat, click “…” in the upper right corner, you can see that the menu bar at the bottom has changed: the logo in the sharing operation is changed from the original gray to the color, concentrated in the first line; Other non-external operations are listed in the second line after adding black and adjusting some icons.

Public Articles

The public article page is similar to the change of the webpage. It is also sorted by clicking the bottom menu bar after the “…” in the upper right corner, but there are more “seeing” and “viewing public number” than the webpage. operating.

Friend Profile Page

The “…” menu revision of the friend’s message page is a bit messy.

WeChat 7.0.7 for Android internal beta, the original menu options have been removed and centered, the text length is different, the number of lines is too large, it seems very irregular. For the menu layout design of the friend profile page, the iOS version of WeChat is more comfortable to handle, click “…” to enter the special “data settings page” for unified operation.

Of course, the menu option is centered on more than just the data page. You can also find the same changes when you enter a circle of friends and view pictures sent by friends.

Second, the small program “Back to Home” function is enhanced, the rights management page is online

The biggest highlight of this update is in the applet.

In the past, the “…” button in the upper right corner of the applet took on the simple “more operations” function. After clicking, the user will pop up the forwarding, floating windows, add to my applet and about the current applet (on Android). There are also options for adding to the desktop on the phone.

Now, WeChat really makes the “…” button take on the role of the “menu bar”. In the WeChat 7.0.7 for Android beta, the user clicks on the “…” button and notices that the display is very different.

1, the current avatar’s avatar, name and rating will be at the top, click on it will jump to the applet’s page;

2, other shortcut functions are divided into two columns, the upper column is sent to friends, back to the home page, added to my small program / desktop; the lower column is floating windows, settings and feedback and complaints. Among them, “Settings” and “Feedbacks and Complaints” are new features.

The logic of the shortcut function column is consistent with the shortcut operation of the public number article on iOS: the operation for the current applet page is placed in the above column, and more operations for the applet itself are placed in the following column.

3. The function of “Back to Home” has been placed in a more prominent position.

In the past, when the user received the small program card forwarded by the friend, pressing the “…” button will have the function of “returning to the home page”; in this revision, “back to the home page” becomes a standard function. This also makes the applet more like a standalone app, not just an “Advanced H5 Page” for easy sharing and dynamic updates.

4. In “Settings”, the user can view the usage of the user information by the current applet, including “Location Information”, “User Information”, “WeChat Motion Steps” and “Send Service Notification to Me”, etc. At the same time, the user can authorize or deauthorize this information with one click.

From these updates, we can see a new trend: the applet is “app-applied”, it has a clearer home page, more independent rights management, and the applet’s rating is also more obvious. s position.

3. “Unfinished function” egg offline

Remember that on the “Subscription Number Message” page, we have invited Achan, Keso, etc. Guess what the WeChat “egg feature” might be.

We guessed the WeChat mind, but I didn’t expect this egg to go offline in WeChat 7.0.7 for Android. I can only say that the “unfinished function” is true. The completion can’t be done.

4. Multi-select image page revision when selecting “Photo”

In this update, the selection page for sending images and videos has also changed slightly. The button that originally selected the images and videos in the mobile phone album is in the lower left corner. In this update, it becomes the upper left corner, and the triangle symbol becomes more conspicuous, guiding the user to click.

However, after the revision of WeChat 7.0.7 for Android, some full-screen phones will have a larger gray space when selecting pictures and videos, which is not very visually pleasing.

5. Support to disable the WeChat payment service service

The original “…” in the upper right corner of the WeChat payment notification page has become a gear symbol for “Settings”.

Click on the gear, you can choose to disable the WeChat payment message service, disable the function and clear the historical data.

However, after decommissioning, it will not affect the daily use of WeChat payment. Just checking the bill, contacting customer service, receiving notifications, etc. can not be viewed in the WeChat payment message notification.

▲ Disable WeChat Payment Message Service

In the past, the notification message of WeChat payment could not be closed, and the user would pop up a notification every time I use WeChat payment. If the user pays attention to the public number of the bundled bank card at the same time, he will also encounter the experience of popping up the notification when the two public numbers are consumed at the same time.

In the early days of WeChat payment, this setting can make users more clear about the flow of funds and reduce the confusion and anxiety of users. However, when the application scenarios and frequency of WeChat payment are more and more, too many notifications may be users. The troubles. This time, WeChat gave the user the power of choice.

Summary, WeChat 7.0.7 for Android internal beta update is not large, but it shows the continuous improvement of WeChat on small programs.
