here are the 6 new features
of WeChat 5.2
1. 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. For the rest
of your favorite, fun features, one tap of the Discover tab easily takes you to
your Moments feed as well as options including Scan QR Code, Shake, People
Nearby, Drift Bottle, Games, and Sticker Shop.
2. 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. This crosses out the fuss of having to exchange
little details and gives you more liberty to continue chatting with your
newfound clique. 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.
3. Real-time Location-sharing
Planning to go bazaar-hopping
with a group of friends for the weekend? Never leave anyone 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.

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.
