What are the differences in user experience between the WeChat HarmonyOS app and other versions?

·Interface and operation aspects

Convenience of operation:

The HarmonyOS version is similar to the iOS version, where swiping left on the chat interface and address book interface can pop up corresponding functions, while the Android version usually has a long press pop-up function. In comparison, the HarmonyOS and iOS versions are more convenient and aesthetically pleasing to operate.

System camera call:

The HarmonyOS version can directly call the original system camera, zoom in when taking photos and videos, and achieve higher image quality output for shooting and video recording scenes,

And WeChat can only read the content confirmed by the user's shooting, while the Android and iOS versions of WeChat have relatively limited functions when calling the camera for shooting, such as not being able to directly use the zoom function of the system camera.

·In terms of performance fluency

System compatibility and smoothness:

Based on the HarmonyOS NEXT operating system, the HarmonyOS version of WeChat has better compatibility with the system, runs more smoothly, and significantly reduces lag and frame drops,

The smooth switching of various functions is like silk, greatly improving the efficiency of use. The startup speed is also faster, with almost zero latency when opening WeChat.

Timeliness of message push:

The message push system notification channel of Hongmeng version WeChat allows timely receipt of the latest messages even if the background is cleared or the application is forcibly closed,

And there is no delay at all, while the Android version may experience message push delays or delays in some cases.

·In terms of functional details

Privacy Protection:

When retrieving the gallery, the HarmonyOS version of WeChat can only read the image selected by the user,

And the Android version of WeChat can read all the image information in the gallery,

The HarmonyOS version of WeChat has stricter privacy protection measures, avoiding the possibility of privacy leakage from the source.

File caching and sending:

Hongmeng version WeChat sends different WeChat accounts/groups for files with the same format and suffix,

Cache only once and automatically delete the original image file after 14 days, only able to read compressed files;

The Android version of WeChat is relatively complex in terms of file caching and management, which may take up more storage space.

Chat operation efficiency:

The HarmonyOS version of WeChat supports left scrolling to delete chats in the chat interface, which is more efficient,

There is a zoom in effect when copying text, making it easier to see the text clearly. The Android version of WeChat has relatively weak convenience in chat operations.

·In terms of functional integrity

Current version restrictions:

Currently, some functions of WeChat Hongmeng version may still be restricted or unavailable,

If it does not support WeChat sports, custom chat backgrounds, font size settings, etc,

The Android and iOS versions are relatively complete in these features.
