Many people should still remember that when version 7.0 of 20 18 WeChat was released, a flower in the first interface was once vomited by netizens. Many people said that WeChat was middle-aged at that time, and even many users wanted to switch back to the old version. Facts have proved that after several years, WeChat has not only not disappeared from the applications that people often use, but has a higher degree of adhesion with users.
According to public information, the number of users of WeChat has exceeded 65.438+0.2 billion, and Zhang Xiaolong has clearly listed several groups of data in the previous WeChat open class. There are nearly11million users who open WeChat every day. In addition to normal chatting and socializing, there are 780 million people entering the circle of friends, and 300 million people will use video calls. At the same time, he also dramatized some "new functions" in advance. Unexpectedly, just a few days after the meeting, WeChat carried out a major rectification and ushered in an official update.
In the opened interface, the safflower background is replaced by a brand-new startup page, and the text carried by it makes WeChat as a whole more literary and quiet. In the main interface after opening, the previous floating window function has also been optimized, and the operation is still very versatile. Both left and right sliding have hidden functions. Of course, when adding friends, there are also restrictions. The current version needs to set friend permissions, otherwise it cannot be added.
In addition, the expression changes in chat conversations are also noticeable. In fact, expressions are more playful in describing the psychological state of communication, while previous expressions are static. Now, some new expressions can be "moved". Compared with static expressions, dynamic expressions are more conducive to emotional expression among WeChat users, and the bomb expression mentioned by Zhang Xiaolong in an open class has also been launched. The screen does have some explosive effects after use.
Regrettably, this major update of WeChat has been collectively vomited by netizens. In the top comments, it is basically a criticism of WeChat. Many users think that WeChat is more and more like QQ, and there are fewer and fewer practical functions. Some netizens even spit out WeChat to cross the river by touching QQ.
Come to think of it, it is. Many people are interested in the dynamic display of WeChat expressions. It is found that the new online status of the interface is not only suspected of copying the QQ status bar, but also more like the previous QQ personality signature. This is also a key reason why such a large update range has not aroused users' interest. After all, compared with the functions of two-way deletion and recovery of chat records, there are still some minor adjustments.
It is worth mentioning that one comment stands out from the crowd, which shows that Zhang Xiaolong is really wrong. Zhang Xiaolong said in an open class that WeChat was small and beautiful when it was first born. Ten years later, WeChat is still small and beautiful. Is that really the case?
Logically, WeChat is really small, it is just a social application. However, judging from the proportion of mobile phone memory, WeChat is not only large, but also bulky. As early as before, WeChat can also use Saipan system, which can hold 128MB of memory, but now WeChat is more than 10 G of data storage, and mobile phones with poor performance may only run WeChat. Even more frustrating is that even after cleaning, it will not make much memory space. From this perspective, Zhang Xiaolong was really wrong when he said that WeChat was small and beautiful.
The editor deeply believes that what WeChat wants to do is a one-stop life service platform, which will take over all aspects of users' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Business expansion is not necessarily a good thing. Compared with the professionalism of Alipay and other software, WeChat is more likely to lose its main direction. After all, when it comes to WeChat today, no one can accurately locate the software. So what kind of software is WeChat in your mind?
