WeChat, a social communications service available for smartphones, announcednew Location-based features for BlackBerry users. The newest version of WeChat for BlackBerry now integrates both ‘Look Around’ and QR code scanning feature. These features make it easier for users to add new friends or acquaintances by allowing them tosearch the surrounding areas for other WeChat users, requiring only a simple push of a button from the user. The new version also allows users to add their friends by scanning the QR code on their friends’ phone screen. In addition, Animated Emoticons were added in this new BlackBerry version. Now users can express themselves using fun animated emoticons in conversation.
Mr. Dennis Hau, Head of International Product Center, International Business Group, describes the concept behind BlackBerry 2.0: “We designed the new Blackberry version for the purpose of providing a fun social communication platform for Blackberry but in the process, we have not compromised when it came to the user experience and performance stability which is what WeChat is known for.”
The BlackBerry version of WeChat comes with features that are also found in its Android and iOS siblings, such as instant messaging with attachments, voice messaging or ‘Hold to Talk’ which people find very useful because they can save the time required for typing, and conveniently send voice messages instead. All of these can be used within a group using the Group Chat feature, and all conversations can be spiced up with unique and fun Animated Emoticons.
WeChat can be downloaded free of charge for iOS, Android, BlackBerry , Windows Phone and Symbian devices. For downloads and more information, please visit: www.wechat.com/th
