People who use smartphones will basically install the WeChat APP on their phones. However, do you really know how to use WeChat? In addition to the most basic functions such as chatting, watching short videos, and posting to Moments, WeChat also hides many practical but little-known functions. In the process of using WeChat, reasonable use of these hidden functions can not only improve the efficiency of using WeChat, but also discover a lot of different fun.
Today Xiaoyu will share with you 4 hidden functions in the use of WeChat, each of which is very practical. Next, Xiaoyu will give you a detailed introduction.
1. Quickly view unread messages
If you have not checked WeChat for a long time, you will find that there are many unread messages every time you open WeChat. Under normal circumstances, many people will open the message list and swipe up and down to view these unread messages one by one. Although you can also find unread messages using this method, when there are a large number of messages and the interval between viewing messages is long, the efficiency will be very inefficient. Even if you swipe up and down for half a day, you will not be able to find unread messages in time.
In fact, WeChat has set up a very convenient operation method when viewing unread messages.
After opening WeChat, click the WeChat icon on the left side of the bottom toolbar, and you can view unread messages by sliding up and down.
At this point, we only need to quickly double-click the WeChat icon in the lower left corner to quickly locate the location of the unread message. Each double-click will navigate to the location of a new unread message.
With this little trick, not only can you save the time of swiping up and down to find messages and quickly find unread messages, but you also don’t have to worry about missing unread messages even if there are a lot of messages and the time is very early, which is very convenient.
2. Help us remind us of important things
In the process of using mobile phones, we often set alarm clocks or add schedules to help us remind us of important things.
In fact, WeChat also has such a function. It only requires some simple operations to quickly and easily add corresponding schedule reminders for us.
For example, if we have made an appointment with a customer through WeChat to have dinner together tomorrow afternoon, we can add a schedule through the reminder function of WeChat, and WeChat will remind us when the time is up.
Its operation is also very simple. You only need to press and hold this message for 2 seconds and select the "Reminder" function from the pop-up menu.
Then, select the specific reminder time according to your actual needs, and then click "Set Reminder" in the upper right corner to complete the operation, which is very convenient.
However, although this function is very convenient, it still has some flaws and needs to be improved. In the latest version of WeChat, the interval of this schedule reminder is one hour, which seems to be too long. It would be more accurate if this interval could be set to 5 minutes or one minute.
3. Important message reminders
For some important WeChat friends, we often worry about missing some important message reminders. In response to this problem, WeChat has also set up a strong message reminder function.
After turning on the strong message reminder function, when you receive a message from the other party, WeChat will remind you in a full-screen display, and the ringtone of the message reminder is also different from the ringtone when you normally receive a WeChat message. The reminder effect is very obvious.
So, how to enable this strong message reminder function? The method is also very simple.
Open the WeChat friend chat dialog box where you want to achieve a strong message reminder effect, and then click the three small dots icon in the upper right corner to enter the chat information setting page. On this page, just turn on the switch to the right of Reminders.
It should be noted that after turning on this function, his strong message reminder is only valid for three hours. That is to say, after turning on strong message reminder, if the other party sends you a message within three hours, the message will be displayed in strong reminder mode.
In addition, this message strong reminder function can only be used once. After turning it on, only the first message received within the validity period will appear in strong reminder mode.
If you haven’t used this function yet, hurry up and try it out.
4, floating window function
WeChat is not only a chat software, there are a large number of wonderful articles everywhere in the WeChat ecosystem, such as Moments and official accounts, where these articles are concentrated.
Sometimes we are reading a wonderful article, but we receive a message from a friend and need to respond in time. If you directly exit this article and then reply to the message, you may no longer be able to find the article you just read after replying to the message.
To address this problem, WeChat has also launched a thoughtful function.
When we receive a WeChat message while reading an article, or there are other things that need to interrupt our reading, we only need to click the three small dots icon in the upper right corner of the current article, and then select the "floating window" function from the pop-up menu.
At this time, this article will be quickly added to the "floating window" window for easy subsequent opening.
So, how to open the article in the window? The operation method is also very simple.
Enter the WeChat message list page and slide to the right, and this "floating window" interface will appear. All articles added to the floating window will be displayed here. Click on the corresponding article to read it again, which is very convenient.
