WeChat Secrets You Might Not Have Known!

I've been using WeChat for years now and I admit, I've met a few friends on the app even if I'm not in Manila. The thing is, there are other things in the app that I'm actually just starting to discover. Well, it's actually a pretty easy to use especially the usual Chat and Discover function. Well lo and behold we have a lot of things that we didn't know existed on the app and here's some of them listed, you can thank me later!

Voiceprint - They just updated the app to version 6.2. Now you can use Voiceprint to secure the app and access it when you want to. No, you can't get locked up anymore because WeChat can use your voice, recognize your intonations so the app can verify your identity. To enable the feature, just login, go to Settings > My Account > Voiceprint. It'll ask you to read out a few numbers, say it twice and voila! You're already good to go!

Translate Posts - We all have friends in different parts of the world. I have Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese ones but I couldn't read them all since I'm not multilingual enough LOL. Put a finger on top of the phrase or word, choose the translate option and see what it means. Now isn't that a good thing to see right on the post? Genius.

Chat History - Changing phones? Transferring your WeChat conversations has never been so easy with this feature. Just go to Settings > General > Chat Log Migration. You need to have 30% of battery before you can do this though, so remember that!

New Photo Picker - Now you don't have to look and be worried you're uploading the wrong blurred photo. You've got a new Photo Picker that can also choose multiple photos on your camera roll and upload it right away on your WeChat wall. Easy.

Healthy Stuff - Well of course there are no shrimps inside the app, the thing is, if you've got wearables you can use the app to send your own heart rate information to friends so you can compare notes or if you're in a running or cycling club, now it's going to be easier. That's healthy, don't get high blood pressure with the shrimp haha! Sorry I had to do that!

WeChat's Nicer in Desktop and Laptop Computers - It's better and more efficient now in Desktop and Laptop computers. WeChat has functions such as file sharing, screenshots, group chat mentions and message recall. Imagine an office, transfer files with your mates without the need of usb disks. Or you can use the screenshot function and cut up only the images you want to send your peers. Need to tell someone something directly? Well just mention them with the @ sign and you're good to go. You can keep those conversations private too. If you want to read them again, you can have those conversations saved on the phone. Now you can manage your emotions, live your own personal messaging life the way you want to when you're with WeChat. Have an incredible time!

WeChat Gives You WeRewards

Free stuff by just using an app?? You must think I'm crazy right? Well no, this news actually is true because our friends from popular multi channel communications app WeChat just enabled a new program called WeRewards. It's a way you can enjoy the app and earning points while you use WeChat for chat and voice call services. This means that while you earn rewards points, you also earn discounts. You can also convert these same rewards points into vouchers for the premier online shopping site Lazada and food delivery hub app Food Panda. Aside from that, you can also get great items for FREE using your WeRewards points!

When you use your app, you can check your points by going to the chat portion of the app and search for WeChat Team. Click on the Read All link on the Get Your Daily Rewards Offer message and you'll see how much points you've earned. You can also use the rewards points for some of Manila's superclubs like URBN and Raven. For those who use the Runtastic wearables and app, you can also the rewards points so you won't have to pay a single cent when running! Since you can get 100 peso vouchers for Lazada, you can choose items like the 99 peso shirt from Penshoppe, or the Sibyl M-59 Dog Tail earphones that costs the same. You can also opt for the 50% discount on Sports Armband made by Runtastic or the Free Entrance and Alcoholic Drink at URBN 2.0 or Raven. There are also several DVD's selling for 99 bucks in Lazada that you can take advantage or spend it for Php 100 off for FoodPanda.PH, but you have to use it with a minimum 200 peso purchase.

You can use it for merchants there like Caliburger (we have one here in Timog Avenue) and get a BBQ Cheeseburger by paying only Php 115.00 from it's original price Php 215.00. Or get yummy Greenwich Pizza Thins (nearest branch near my place is Heart Center) and pay only Php 130.00 instead of Php 230.00 for that. Or if you fancy something healthy, try JujuEats' Big Boy Salad Half which you can pay for only Php 130.00 instead of the original price of Php 230.00. See the deals? You can only get that from WeChat! The promo will only last from May 20 to July 30, 2015, you better get on that phone now and use it!

Filipino Slang Reaches WeChat Sticker Gallery!

Like whoa! I can't believe my eyes! It looks like we're in for a treat today as WeChat just started speaking our language! Oh yes! The fun in the Philippines never stops as Filipino slang finally reaches this social messaging app that we absolutely love! Now, you'll find the normal things people utter on the streets - spoken by ordinary Filipinos which you won't usually see on school, literature or find in books. The Filipino language is definitely evolving and it's turning out to be quite and adventure. 

Just imagine our 7,107 islands. It's got about 175 recognized dialects that can be called in unison as "Filipino". Even as tourists, you'll have something in your sleeve as the Philippines also ingrained in its popular culture a distinctive form of communication known as "Filipino slang". You won’t find this category in books but you’ll hear the series of catchphrases on the streets, from local television shows to just about anywhere where the influences of media exist. It is very dynamic and changes from day to day. A combination of English and Tagalog,  to gay lingo, to street dweller terminologies, you would see something that you could use in everyday life. 

As our language change and evolve, WeChat provides a very social mobile application that follows the color and hues of the Filipino vernacular. 16 fully new funny stickers that would imply the inventiveness of our writings and the immeasurable joyfulness of our innate humor. You won't find it anywhere but here. Get ready to put in your messages statements as “Bahala na si Batman!”,  “Boom!”, “Push mo yan!” and “Gorabels!”. One could never run out of fun quirky ways telling your friends, office mates and relatives something new every time you chat on one great social messaging application like WeChat. This set is currently available at WeChat’s Sticker Gallery which you can easily access by clicking on Me then go to the Sticker Gallery.

I can't wait to use these stickers on you guys! :)
