![]() ![]() You can type the text, add files and screenshots, tags and then save such notes or share them in the chats. This feature allows making notes for yourself and keep them in WeChat. The chat history is saved, and it will be synchronized between different builds of the messenger on you mobile devices, PC and web version.This option is useful for work communication, as it can partially replace the screenshare feature (it is possible to share screens using the QQ service which can be integrated with WeChat for desktop). There is an in-built screenshot tool: the user can make an instant capture of the computer screen, edit it (for example, add some notes or markers) and send it directly to the chat, forward to another contact or save on the hard drive.All attachments send and received in the chat can be viewed separately in the Chat history section. It is possible to send each other images, videos, audio files, documents and contacts (for images, there are some editing options supported).You can start new chats and create new groups using the Windows WeChat desktop version, use smileys and stickers (there are predefined collections and a large Sticker Gallery to browse for more stickers). However, as the instant messenger, WeChat for Windows laptops and PC has all features which can be needed for both personal and work communication: The developers did not add more options, as they already had another desktop client for instant communication, QQ, and WeChat was created for the mobile devices first of all. As for the WeChat desktop client for Windows, it is an instant messenger only, which does not allow checking updates in Moments (a social network of this service), making payments or calls to phones from the application, etc. The mobile version is a multi-functional product which combines the instant messenger options, the social network options, and the payment means. The functionality of the Windows desktop version of this instant messenger is limited in comparison with the mobile clients for Android phones or iPhones. The functionality of the WeChat for Windows computers This way you can be completely sure that after you close your WeChat for laptop or PC, no one with the physical access to that computer will be able to launch the messenger and view your data. You will need to confirm the signing in on your smartphone. When you finish the work session on the Windows computer and close the desktop application, the next login won't be performed automatically. After that, you will be asked to confirm the signing in on the smartphone. The version for Windows produces a QR code instead, which you should read with the QR scanner in the mobile app on your smartphone (the option is supported for Android devices, iPhone and the Windows Phone). Note that when you download it on a computer with Windows, the app does not ask you to verify your account on the PC or laptop, like some other instant messengers, which also have the desktop versions. After that, you can install the desktop client and tie it to the same account. It should be noted that the Windows desktop app will be secondary, it is impossible to create a new account on the computer - you have to install the messenger on the smartphone with an active phone number first and create an account with that number second. The company does still have an app for Windows 10 on the desktop so China may not yet be entirely out of Microsoft's grasp but it's certainly looking like it.WeChat for Desktop is the version of the most popular Chinese instant messenger developed to work on PCs and laptops with Windows. Offering services ranging from messaging to banking, WeChat is an integral part of online life in China and its loss is certain to shatter any expectations Microsoft may have had of, at the very least, retaining its current standing in the Chinese mobile industry. Users on older devices running Windows Phone can see still the WeChat app in the store, but trying to use it produces an error message saying Windows Phone is not supported and, adding insult to injury, asks them to switch to Android or iOS. ![]() Tencent, the company behind WeChat, had already indicated its irritation at Microsoft's lack of effort in the mobile market and had refrained from building an app on Windows 10 Mobile. It's par for the course at this point as Windows 10 Mobile is all but dead and therefore not much of a surprise that WeChat, the largest and most popular app in China, is leaving Windows Phone and taking with it its 700 million strong user base. Another day, another big name leaving the Windows Store on mobile. ![]()
