Mobile applications are trying to grab the market by offering different new features. WeChat has introduced its new feature called “Sight”. This feature allows the users to create a 6 second video. This feature is similar to Vine. We can see that different applications are offering new features that are previously available with some other application. It is done in order to allow users to have fun using a single platform instead of switching between different applications.
The current version of WeChat is called WeChat 6.0. This version is able to run on the iOS8, iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus. It is launched in order to make the application compatible with the iPhones having a large screen.
Sight
Sight is the latest feature offered by WeChat. It is available with WeChat 6.0 and allows you to capture the memorable events of your life. The application allows you to create a 6 second video. You can use this amazing feature in order to share those precious moments with your friends. The small size of the video enables the application to send it to the other users without taking much time.
The option “Sight” is available on the pull-down menu. There is a “+” sign available in the application menu. As soon as you tap on this sign, it starts recording the video. You just need to record the video before sharing it. Once the recording is complete, then you can share it with your friends, immediately.
Another great option is that you can send the video to multiple contacts. Keep in mind that you need a fast internet connection in order to share the video. You must have a 3G or Wi-Fi connection.
Animated Stickers
The latest version of WeChat, i.e. WeChat 6.0 comes with another option of “Sticker button”. This feature allows you create customized content according to your personal liking. You can share this content with your friends. This customized feature uses the MojiMe which enables you to have fun with various animations and animated characters along with different themes.
WeChat 6.0 is available for free download on iOS and Google Play Store.
WeChat is trying its best to compete against WhatsApp. Both applications are targeting the same market, but their approach is quite different from each other. WeChat is introducing some appealing features, whereas WhatsApp is trying to grab the market by expanding its services. WhatsApp has launched its SIM card in various countries as well. WhatsApp is leading the market in Africa, whereas WeChat has impressed millions of people in Asia. But the threat is still prevailing because according to the latest reports, WhatsApp is rapidly becoming popular.
The competition among these applications is beneficial for the public. People can expect to have fun with frequent updated applications with a number of new features. Whoever leads the market becomes the benchmark for other competitors. This is what inspires the application developers and they always come up with some better for the users. We can anticipate having more great features in the near future because it is the technological evolution and it will never come to an end.
