Have you tried downloading WeChat? WeChat is an all-in-one app that enables users to add friends with several innovative features. They have innovated ways for people to connect, communicate and share. It’s been a whirlwind start to 2014 with all that’s been happening from music festivals to food fairs to sporting events to pop-up markets and of course, my walk with Christ.
As more of these are about to come our way, you can count on WeChat’s 5.2 upgrade for Android and iOS to match your energy for these affairs, as it is boosted with new features that will help you breeze through your activities while you’re on the go.
These new features empowers WeChat users by bringing together messaging, social communication and gaming in one seamless, interactive experience, with comprehensive privacy and security settings that can be tailored as needed – in a fun and dynamic way!
- Menu Bar
More convenient and sorted to fit the habits of smartphone users, WeChat 5.2 opens to a clearer interface which has its many features compartmentalized into three sections: Chats, Discover, and Contacts. Chats lets you continue with your current conversations, while Contacts allows you to start new exchanges with your friends.
- Friend Radar
If you’re attending events with a fresh set of buddies, WeChat’s Friend Radar feature can automatically identify other users within the vicinity and give you the option to add them to your contact list with one tap of their images. Whether you’re in La Union for a yoga-surf-flow retreat or in Cebu for a festival, Friend Radar accessed through the Menu Bar > Add Contacts does the digital friend-scanning for you, as you connect with the same people in person.
- Real-time Location-sharing
Leave no man behind and keep everyone in the loop by using WeChat’s Real-time Location-sharing feature. Invite your friends to share where they are and help them navigate their way on the WeChat map and through an integrated walkie-talkie session. Simply open a chat > + > Locations > Real-time Location > to view one another’s maps.
- Group Chat Photo Album
If you want to upload photos in your social networking accounts but having problems scrolling through endless chats, WeChat’s 5.2 has the solution for you. With the integration of a Group Chat Photo Album, photos shared in your group chat—whether for skating trips in the metro or diving sessions at Palawan—are arranged by date and then stored in one location accessed through one tap of the Photo Album icon.
- Universal Search
I’m never good with remembering names. With WeChat’s Universal Search feature, you can quickly refer back to any message or contact by typing into the search field within the Chats tab. Don’t worry if you forgot that important date or name in a chat conversation.
- Contact List Customization
Reveling in social setting such as Bonifacio Global City or 71 Gramercy can build up your contact list as quick as a wildfire. Manage your networks by with WeChat’s Contact List Customization feature, which gives you the option to add photos, addresses and business cards to your friends’ profiles.
