I should have contacted WeChat in 2014 or so. At that time, it was very simple to register WeChat, and the wallet did not need a real name. One person could have many small accounts, and even his mobile phone number did not need to be bound.
At that time, I had five or six WeChat accounts, which would be changed every once in a while, because there were almost no friends in them, and I would not contact them through WeChat. Our main communication and entertainment tool is QQ. Every time I see someone who uses WeChat, I will say that the person is definitely not after 00. I will often say to my friends around me that WeChat is something I will never use until I am 30 years old. But now, I am still far away from 30 years old, but WeChat has successfully replaced QQ as my main social entertainment tool.
WeChat is required for communication, transportation, payment, and the registered real name of other accounts. WeChat has successfully infiltrated into my life.
The official use of WeChat was after the summer vacation in 2019, our class group was moved to WeChat, and QQ group will not communicate or issue notices except for uploading some materials. Other students I know also began to use WeChat as their main tool of life because of college or work needs.
In addition to basic communication, WeChat also has other functions, such as WeChat payment, circle of friends, public account, applet, video number, live broadcast, etc
Basic communication
The essence of WeChat is a communication tool. But the WeChat team did not do a good job in this basic function. None of the cloud synchronization, archiving and backup of messages is qualified, and even many basic functions are not.
As a former deep user of QQ, I can only say one word of garbage on WeChat. Even QQ has many problems. The homepage of WeChat is a chat list. When you feel that there are too many messages on the homepage and you want to clean it up, you can only select "Don't show this chat". If you click "Delete this chat", it will not retain the chat record after deletion like QQ.
The logic of the design is also very wordless. If you want to top or delete a chat painting, you must press for a long time, but IOS is not.
The interaction between the mobile end of WeChat and the PC end is also very poor. What makes me most disgusted is that I can only log in by scanning the code, and if the mobile phone exits WeChat, the computer end will also forcibly exit. The synchronous chat recording function when logging in to the computer for the first time is like a "eunuch". The voice and some pictures cannot be synchronized.
I really suggest learning from Telegram next door.
WeChat payment
WeChat payment is the most difficult payment method I have ever used. Withdrawal of cash requires a service charge, not to mention that its risk control is also garbage in garbage. In the summer of 2019, I went to lunch with my classmates and made a number of transfers and collections before closing the account. As a result, I was identified as an online fraud by WeChat. My payment function was subject to risk control for a month. During the risk control period, I made many complaints without any results. Calling the customer service phone was also impossible for manual intervention. Since then, my WeChat change has not exceeded 200 yuan.
I also saw a video about WeChat payment when I was brushing the tone. The content was that a woman had deposited 290000 yuan in WeChat change, which could not be taken out due to risk control problems. After 10 complaints, I failed to ask Tencent's customer service. The explanation was that users only have the right to use WeChat, and Tencent has the ownership of the account. Therefore, we also suggest that you use less WeChat payment.
WeChat was frozen for 290000, and women's complaints were rejected more than 10 times. (Related video)
Circle of friends
WeChat's circle of friends is similar to QQ Space and Weibo. The difference is that it lacks some payment functions and fancy costumes. The same thing is that cooperative advertisements fly around.
For me, the circle of friends may be a simple blog talk page. If I have good photos or hear good songs at night, I will share them with my circle of friends. But I will delete them all in half a month, and I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the incompatibility with the content published by other friends, or maybe I just want to save the content I see and hear in my blog.
Now I rarely enter the circle of friends from the discovery page. When I want to see it, I will look at the circle of friends of a friend from the contact list alone. When I look at it alone, I may find that he or she is no longer your friend
Public account
I don't know since when, most of the announcements will have a "Follow up notice please pay attention to the official public account" at the end of the content. Whenever I see this sentence, I am particularly disgusted. The reason is simple. You must pay attention to the public account and receive some articles and topics unrelated to you before the subsequent notice is published. There are also some very disgusting websites. You must pay attention to the public account before using them, otherwise they cannot be used.
Most of the public accounts I focus on are service accounts, which are designed to facilitate receiving service notifications. For example, bank balance change reminder, remote login or inscription operation of some websites, service expiration reminder, etc., these experiences are good.
Since 2018, all the newly registered WeChat public accounts have cancelled the message function. The specific reason is unknown. It seems that it is the regulations of the online communication department. Tencent also did not make any explanation. In addition, Tencent's censorship mechanism for the content of articles on the public account is too mindless. I pay attention to no more than 5 subscription accounts, and the total number of public accounts is 11.
Applet
The birth of the applet has made our life particularly convenient. Payment, travel, ordering and shopping, information registration, etc. can be operated in the applet of WeChat, without having to download other apps separately.
However, if developers strictly follow the Terms of Service of WeChat Applet Platform The experience of relevant rules in should be better. The developers mentioned here refer to Tencent itself. The experience of small and medium-sized apps in non Tencent series is good, because they care about user experience. But Tencent's own small programs are not. Their development is another set of specifications. The specification that can be developed as you want is the one that likes to use but doesn't use. It is the one that is higher than the law.
Among the apps I use, except Tencent Cloud Assistant, other Tencent apps can be called "disabled apps", and the built-in advertising experience of its official games is extremely poor.
Video number and live broadcast
It is Tencent's unchangeable truth to take its essence and discard its dross. Because of this, WeChat has added video number and live broadcast functions.
In my understanding, the birth of video number and live broadcast is because Tencent saw the popularity of dithering and fast hand in 2020, so it developed these two functions or accelerated the development of these two functions.
However, the functions of these two are far from that of dithering and fast hand, and their recommendation algorithms and operating experience are also extremely poor. In addition to the addition of a platform for major media or We Media, it may be just an additional fast video viewing portal for individual users.
summary
WeChat has indeed become a way of life, ubiquitous in our lives, but there are also many inevitable problems.
These problems will always exist, and enterprises like Tencent will only go their own way. The statement of their official website formula, development specifications and user agreements are just like nothing.
The relevant regulations issued by the relevant departments of zf are also ineffective. Tencent is more than the law or Tencent is the law. All departments in the Internet will prevaricate and refuse to accept complaints.
When I use WeChat, important chat content or files will be backed up locally by email or screenshots.
When using WeChat payment, it refers to transactions within 200 yuan. For large transactions, I will choose cloud flash payment and Alipay or mobile banking.
I will often clean up the content of my circle of friends, and I will give priority to the content I want to share on my blog.
I only use the public account as a service notification channel, and I will read articles related to the public account through the official website blog or other ways.
After all, users only have the right to use WeChat, and Tencent has the ownership of the account.
