On December 29, the iOS version of WeChat ushered in a major update. The focus of this update is actually WeChat on Apple Watch. WeChat officially claims to rewrite WeChat for watchOS 2.

This update includes:

Circle of friends dial: every time you lift your wrist, you can see the dynamic of your friends.

Small signal: click a friend's avatar to send a voice message.

Watch contact: send messages to friends quickly on the watch.

It is completely rewritten for watchOS 2, which saves more power and improves performance by 1.5 times.

The current WeChat of Apple Watch can add frequently used contacts directly on the dial to facilitate communication with WeChat friends. At the same time, the recent contents of the circle of friends will be displayed directly on the dial in turn.

In addition, a special Apple Watch function has been added to WeChat this time, which can send a "small signal" by clicking on a friend's avatar in WeChat. This so-called small signal is a pop-up vibration reminder. A small WeChat window will pop up on the other party's mobile phone, displaying "Looking for you", which does not exist on the mobile phone.

And now you can finally send voice messages on Apple Watch WeChat! We no longer need to send WeChat messages via voice to text. Although the voice to text recognition rate of Apple Watch WeChat is higher than other smart watches, there will always be recognition errors. Voice messages will make the WeChat chat function of Apple Watch more available!

In addition, although WeChat official said“ It is completely rewritten for watchOS 2, which saves more power and improves performance by 1.5 times. ”However, after using it, the author found that WeChat on the Apple Watch was still jammed, and the response was slow~
