1. Live Photos on Moments

iOS users can now share live photos that include both motion and sound simpy by selecting photos from your phone's gallery.


There's also an option to turn off the live effect, allowing a mix of static and live photos in the same post. Once posted, live photos will display a special "live circle" effect in Moments.  


According to WeChat's response to user comments, Android users will have to wait for a future update.




2. Fast friends, or time-honoured pengyou?

The iOS version 8.0.52 update introduces the "Add Date" option on friends' social profile pages. However, it’s important to note that this feature is currently in a grayscale testing phase and is available only to a select group of Apple users.


How?

[Contacts] > [Find your Friend] > Click [More Information] on a friend's profile to see how they were added.



According to Tencent customer service, users can check their friend addition records by navigating to [Contacts] - [New Friends], and can click [More Information] on a friend's profile to see how they were added.

Many users have expressed skepticism about the new feature, with comments suggesting it feels "optional" and "meaningless." What new features would you like to see on WeChat? Feel free to tell us in the comment section.
