WeChat PC version 3.9.5 update: Added 'Lock” function to improve security

WeChat is an important social software, regarded as a national application, and has played an important role in our lives. In addition to meeting daily social needs, WeChat has also become an important tool for work communication. However, using WeChat to chat for work often faces a problem: work and "life" chat records are mixed on the PC, which may lead to a worrying risk of privacy leakage. The good news is that WeChat recently pushed an update to version 3.9.5 to some Windows users. The new version adds a new feature called "Lock".

The menu in the lower left corner of the WeChat PC version now has a new lock function icon in it. Once the user clicks on the icon, a prompt will appear on the screen: "Windows WeChat has been locked." Since the locked state restricts users' WeChat operations, WeChat privacy and security issues are effectively resolved after leaving the computer. Users can easily unlock it in the status bar at the top of the WeChat conversation list on their mobile phone, effortlessly. It should be noted that this update has not yet been pushed to all users. Users who have not received the update notification need to wait.

According to the editor’s understanding, the locking function launched by WeChat has been well received by users. Someone joked: "QQ has supported these functions for a long time. Brothers who want it can just ask and I can share the code with you." "In addition to the lock function, there are also some functions that users hope WeChat can further improve, including: prompting for confirmation when deleting friends, canceling the one-shot function, adjustable progress bar and double speed for voice messages, friend circle editing function, and batch deletion of friend circles. Content and Moments can be broadcast live, pictures do not lose image quality, Moments can post long videos, settings do not remind mutual friends to interact, etc. These requirements cover some of the pain points people have when using WeChat on a daily basis.
