Can WeChat images directly extract text and translate it? WeChat Android version internal beta has these updates

The Android version of WeChat has been put into internal testing. Some of the features in this internal testing are inherited from WeChat 7.0.20 for iOS, and some are adjustments to the newly revised features.

It’s just that this time, Android’s update came ahead of iOS, and many of its features may be launched in the next iOS version update. So whether you are an Android user or an iOS user, let’s take a look at the new features of WeChat 7.0.23 for Android.

Too long to read version:

• Added video account entry to personal page
• Changes to the "Confirm Payment" page for transfers
• More ways to open the official account, and the navigation bar is removed
• Long press the image to add translation and extract text, you can use the "Image Transmission and Character Recognition" applet to open it
• The video account has added a new popularity contribution list, and there are these small changes

Added video account entry to personal page

The new features of WeChat 7.0.20 for iOS are also available in the Android beta. Go to your video account homepage and select "Show video account on personal business card" to associate your personal WeChat account with the video account. If you don't want to associate the video account content later, you can turn it off on the homepage.

In your personal business card, in addition to displaying your WeChat ID, region, etc., a "Video Account" will also appear in the lower column of your Moments. Clicking on any area in a column will jump to the video account (not a single video).

Changes to the "Confirm Payment" page for transfers

In WeChat 7.0.23 for Android, the user payment page has also changed.

The original payment icon design has changed. The white icon design has become simpler. The instructions and transfer time that were originally below "Confirm Payment" have been placed in the middle of the payment page. The "Confirm Payment" button has moved from the middle of the page to the bottom.

More ways to open the official account, and the navigation bar is removed

Open an article from a public account, click the "..." in the upper right corner and drag the toolbar, you will see the "More ways to open" button. Click it to save the article to Tencent Docs. This opening method does not limit the storage space, and the opened content will never expire.

The navigation bar has also undergone new changes.

The original navigation bar is almost the same as the custom menu bar on the public account message page. In the previous version of WeChat, it was uniformly adjusted to three categories: "Message", "Video", and "Service" (if the public account has not posted any videos, there are only "Message" and "Service").

But in WeChat version 7.0.23 for Android, the buttons for the three categories also disappeared, leaving only the topic tags configured by the official account itself.

Long press the image to add translation and extract text, you can use the "Image Transmission and Character Recognition" applet to open it

There are more options for opening articles in public accounts, and there are also more options for opening pictures.

Open a picture with text, long press it to call out the operation page, and you will find that two new functions "Translate" and "Extract Text" have been added to the operation interface.

Users who download the beta version early can also see buttons for "Open with Image Transfer and Character Recognition" and "More Open Ways".

The video account has added a new popularity contribution list, and there are these small changes

Video Account has also had some grayscale testing functions and small changes recently. Although they are not functions that all beta version users can experience, we will introduce them again.

First, when a new user clicks to enter "Nearby Live Broadcasts and People", they need to fill in personal information including gender and region, and the filled information will be displayed to other users. Only after completing this step can the new user click "Next" to enter "Nearby Live Broadcasts and People".

Some users can also see a popularity contribution list on this page. Click on any live broadcast to see the popularity contribution of the live broadcast room. This setting looks very similar to the reward ranking list of traditional live broadcast platforms.

In SouYisou, users can click on any topic to enter the SouYisou page, which will prompt users that the topic has been "reported by 8 video accounts and public accounts."

Click the upper right corner of the video account to enter the "My Video Account" page, and you can also see the newly added "Live Streaming Income" entrance under the video account messages and video account private messages.

In general, the video account is still iterating at a very fast speed. The update of this version of WeChat is still focused on improving the efficiency of users. For example, the new features of public accounts and long pressing pictures are small changes to facilitate user use.
