1. English Voice Input<\/strong><\/h3>\n
English and other non-Chinese interface users can now use \u201cVoice Input\u201d from within the chat<\/a> \u201c+\u201d menu to send text messages. Voice input allows users to speak into WeChat in English and immediately convert their words to text so you can send a text message instead of a voice message.<\/p>\n
As shown below, tap on \u201cVoice Input\u201d and a \u201cHold to Talk\u201d button will appear.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\nPress and hold the \u201cHold to Talk\u201d button and begin speaking your message and you\u2019ll see the converted text appear on-screen in realtime. Once your done speaking, you can check and edit you message as necessary before sending the text to your friend. This not only saves time, but is also a convenient way to text long messages or to send text messages when on-the-go.<\/p>\n

Do you frequently switch two different WeChat accounts on the same device. Now you can use Login Manager \u00a0by going to \u201cMe\u201d > \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201dLogin Manager\u201d to easily switch to another account. You will be logged out of your current account (meaning that you will no longer receive system notifications when you receive a message on the prior account) and logged in to the new account.<\/p>\n
