WeChat – Tips and Tricks and New Features Part 2

Day two of WeChat tips and tricks. We’re using Version 5 for the iOS (Apple) so our photos might differ from yours but the basics should be the same.

How to block someone on WeChat

1. Go to your contact list and press on the profile of the person you want to block.

2. Look for the three dots up on the top right:

You can block from your contact list or from People Nearby. See the three dots?

2. After you press the dots, this will come up. Choose Block.

Choose block and then confirm it. That contact can’t see you now at all.

See? They can’t send you a message and they won’t see your Moments. Cool huh?

 

Social is now named ‘Discover’. Look Around is now ‘People Nearby’. We kind of liked Look Around, it sounded cooler.

Sticker Shop is available from your profile page.

Maybe these names lost something when they were translated. We think we could do a better job.

Are these worth spending money on? Really?

Sticker pricing isn’t bad but we can’t imagine anyone using these.

Under a buck but underwhelming too.

 

That’s it for today. We don’t want to make these posts too long. You’re busy, it’s summer, we have a new Galaxy Tab 2 to test so we’re off to do that. Comments, questions, observations are all welcome.

  1. people try to invite me to WeChat , but I do not see the red dot to inform me. they see my profile picture. am I blocking it without knowing?

    1. We never see the red dot either. Check your settings again, that’s all we can suggest. Thanks for commenting.

  2. Hi. What does it mean when you call someone on wechat and it goes through, but after a few seconds it says “user might be busy” try later? Could the person be on another call or just not answering?

  3. Hi, how can I ensure the other party is no longer able to see a picture I posted in our conversation? Will blocking work?
