WeChat dedicated input method is here

According to the latest news, WeChat input method is finally here, and WeChat has started internal testing of the "WeChat Keyboard"! Many of the major new features that WeChat founder Zhang Xiaolong mentioned at the WeChat Night have basically been realized, and WeChat input method is the last major new feature.

Users who have obtained the internal test qualification can just turn it on in "Me" --- "Settings" --- "Plugins". And those who do not have the internal test qualification do not need to worry too much.

According to the feedback from netizens, WeChat Keyboard is not an independent APP, but a plug-in. The user experience is not much different from traditional virtual keyboards such as Sogou and iFlytek. After opening it through the WeChat plug-in, in addition to the 26-letter keyboard, there is a 9-grid keyboard, and there is nothing new in terms of functions. In addition, it is also necessary to enable permissions in the mobile phone input method management before it can be used.

At the WeChat Night, Zhang Xiaolong said that WeChat usually receives a lot of complaints, and most of these complaints are about "WeChat leaked our chat records" and "WeChat leaked user privacy." Zhang Xiaolong pointed out that this was not leaked by WeChat, and as for who leaked it, people in the industry know what happened. WeChat does not view users' chat records, nor does it save chat records.

Zhang Xiaolong pointed out that we agreed with the suggestion of the WeChat technical team to make an input method exclusive to WeChat. The purpose is not to gain more users, but because the input method is a window for text expression. As the input method becomes more and more important, even new input forms may appear in the future. These are all worth our investment. Of course, more importantly, it is to better protect the privacy of users.

Why is it said that input methods can better protect user privacy and security? Simply put, the WeChat keyboard can effectively protect the typed, copied and pasted content from being captured by third-party software. With the use of this keyboard, in the future, the Taobao passwords, Douyin links, Pinduoduo links, etc. that you copied on WeChat will not be directly read and used.

Nowadays, WeChat is no longer just a social tool, but an APP that involves a lot of information security and financial security. Therefore, it is very necessary to make a WeChat-exclusive keyboard.
