By now we should all know that WhatsApp is no longer the only application of free messages And many other communication tools have managed to gain a foothold in the world of smartphones One of them is WeChat, which even with more features than WhatsApp seems to still be in its shadow, although growing in number of users And its possibilities have nothing to envy, not even LINE, the one that has managed to win the title of alternative to WhatsApp
WeChat is a complete communication tool that includes with the best of WhatsApp and various aspects of LINE, so we can stay in touch with our friends and family at anytime and anywhere And not only through instantaneous text messages, being able to make calls and video calls, sharing photographs , videos and sounds, and maintaining their own space to wall mode where we can update our status and post images And there's still more. But let's go step by step.
As soon as we install the application and start it for the first time we need to make a record of our telephone number A system that allows us to associate the WeChat user account to our phone, in the same way that it happens with the rest of applicationsof this class.After this, and to know which contacts of the stored in our address book also have WeChat , it is necessary to confirm the sending of the data of this directory to the application servers, something that is done with certain security , since the data is transmitted encrypted At the end of this process we can start using WeChatwithout any kind of limit.
Within the application we already find four tabs to organize all the contents. The first, Chats, includes the most important aspect of the application: the instant messagingHere we will find the conversations we have with our contacts, resuming them at any time. In addition, it is possible to create new ones from the button in the upper right corner, giving us the option of choosing several contacts to create conversations groupsWithin them we can write, send emoticons Emoji like those of WhatsApp or Stickers like LINE, share images , the current location, a business card with the information of any contact from the agenda and, most interestingly, make internet calls and HD video calls
Another point that stands out is its tab Social Here we find the option Moments , that kind of wall where we can post photos to share them with other usersA space to avoid having to share one by one in conversations, or simply to show where or with whom you have been We have not forgotten other functions such as the Scan QR code to use WeChat on the web, shake the terminal to add new contacts, accept official accounts to chats or meet contacts who arenear our location
