Making voice and video calls and going on chat conversations may already be performed with today’s communication apps. Just among the countless free calling applications available at the moment is WeChat. While it’s just beginning to be popular in most portions of the globe, this communication app has become China’s preferred way to communicate with other people for quite some time.
People will need some time to get used to the interface of WeChat. Its home screen is where you can find the contacts, as well as features that one can use to make group chat conversations from the user’s contacts or begin individual conversations. Just by tapping on each of the contacts, starting private conversations can already be started. Tapping on face icons seen on the homepage’s right portion, the user may begin group conversations.
If a person taps on its keyboard icon, the user can already begin to type a message. It will also act as the icon for the speaker needed to have voice messages sent to another user. The “hold to talk” icon, the person may begin voice message recording and continue pressing it until the recording is done. Swiping upwards, the voice message recording will be cancelled automatically.
If the person goes tapping on the application’s plus sign, additional options are going to appear such as image, emoticon, video, video call, name card and live chat usage. Different from the majority of the existing free to call applications today, WeChat’s functionality when it comes to video calling is quite better. It also gives you the freedom to change from video calls to audio calls without the call getting disconnected. The said feature makes WeChat different from other texting and calling apps.
This application also has its WebChat option, making it possible for users to have chat conversations with other users of WeChat even if they are using their desktops. It is also possible for the user to make file transfers from smartphones to PC and vice versa. After the file transfers are done and files are sent to the smartphones, they may already be downloaded and share with other users of WeChat. The said feature of WeChat is what is seen to be the ability that makes it different from all other communication apps in the market today. Furthermore, WeChat is also known for its Live Chat feature – a feature which is quite similar to how Hangout works.
