Suggestions for Improvements

Hi, I am a foreigner recently came to China and WeChat built in Translate feature is the best feature I have had for now.
1. But if I am busy chatting with someone in English and the messages I am getting in is in Chinese so I every time I Tap on message > Translate, and it translates for me. So I would like to suggest you that why don’t every message translated automatically to English for me and Chinese for other person right after I got message? Perfect.
The same goes for Groups. If I am away and come to group and there are Hundred messages waiting for me. So I tap on every message to translate. Why it can’t be translated as a batch process? (AutoTranslate Feature)

2. Delete/Recall feature should be reviewed. It’s ridiculous c someone post in group and even admin can’t delete that message.

3. If I am going to Translate a document, why should I open camera all the time? I should directly select document from my Gallery and tap Translate.

4. If the user cellphone is turned off. I can still call him and waiting forever. So if a person phone is off. I shouldn’t be able to call.

5. Delivery report for messages.

6. Should’ve option of ‘don’t compress my photo’. WeChat Photo Compressing Algorithm almost ruin details of pixels of photos.

7. WeChat is very heavy. If a person don’t want Pay or Translate module. He can add it from settings as Ad ons!

Thank You!

Deleting comments function

I gave wechat 4/5 because still it has some functions which has to be updated. For example, deleting any comment more than 10 seconds old. Sometimes, i mean after a day or two, you think about your own comment to delete from conversation due to any reason, wechat dont have that function. Another is message delivered and read by reciever, like happen with double blue click mark in WhatsApp when your receiver read your message, you got confirmation when your sent message turn blue, or with doulble blue click mark on your measage, wechat dont have those updated functions, so i scored WeChat as 4/5.
