Good news for PC users: WeChat Windows version updated: can synchronize mobile phone floating window

On November 12, WeChat Windows version was updated to version v2.7.1.88.

This update adds a new "Sync Mobile Floating Window" feature, which can synchronize the content currently being browsed on WeChat on the mobile phone to WeChat on the computer, directly skipping the "File Transfer Assistant".

Before this feature was developed, when users wanted to open an article they saw on their mobile phone on their computer, they had to first send the article from their mobile phone to their computer through the "File Transfer Assistant", or share it with other friends before they could open it on their computer.

Under the "Sync mobile floating window" function, when you open an article on WeChat on your mobile phone or put multiple articles in floating windows, the WeChat Windows client will automatically synchronize and display the corresponding articles or floating windows, but the content being browsed on WeChat on the computer will not be displayed on the mobile phone.

Such a function will help users switch between WeChat apps on their mobile phones and computers more conveniently, and get rid of the complicated "File Transfer Assistant" transit station.

With the continuous updating and improvement of WeChat, more and more people tend to use WeChat as a work software rather than a life software. This leads many users to hope that WeChat can switch between different devices more efficiently and complete data synchronization.

The "Sync mobile phone floating window" function emphasizes unidirectionality and real-time nature, realizing the transformation and upgrading of WeChat on the computer.

WeChat has always tended to direct traffic to mobile phones, and many related functions will first be associated with mobile phones, while the computer side is more of a tool for file transfer and daily chat.

As people integrate their work and personal circles, WeChat has also begun to keep pace with the times and think about the relationship between mobile and PC. This update is a step for WeChat on PC to break away from the image of a "chatting tool".

It is worth noting that WeChat macOS and web version do not have this update yet. With wider application, WeChat macOS version may launch this feature later.
