Long tap and Swype options

Improve long tap and Swype options in main chat.
Add "stick on the top" option.
every time I need stick a chat to the top I need go into message settings…
Besides that, option is available on older models with 3d touch!

Great! But there are ways to improve

I really like the experience of using Wechat, but the desktop app still needs improvement.

1️⃣ Such new features as minimized groups folder or hiding sticked chats are really useful. The users would like to see it on macOS app, too!
2️⃣ Please think about cloud synchronization instead of the current model. It will bring many benefits to user experience.
3️⃣ I personally don’t understand the reason of limiting group chat members number to only 500. Many messaging apps already have more than that. Because of this, all international students of my school cannot use one group chat only, but rather separated.

Name was changed

Why you guys have changed a name of app ? It was WeChat for a long time , now when you opening your WeChat app you could see “Weixin”. Well why you changed foreign version for Chinese name ? And haven’t changed name of app in apple store ?
