Many people do not know WeChat actually has these 2 hidden features!

Huawei has introduced a universal scanning feature in new smartphones like the Mate 60, allowing users to directly translate English words with a scan. For other brands or older Huawei models that don't meet the system requirements, users can only watch enviously?

Maimang's 6 - negative sweeping translation and scanning function

Before, when users needed to translate English, they either had to download apps like Baidu Translate or use a phone with built-in translation features. But many phones actually have hidden translation tools in their camera apps. A more common and simple way is found within WeChat. Open the “Scan QR Code” feature in WeChat—besides scanning codes, there’s an option below that allows you to identify magazines, CD covers, determine street view locations, and even perform scans for translations.

Another common issue arises when reading a public account article and receiving a message from a WeChat friend. Clicking the notification takes you out of the article, forcing you to search for the public account again if you want to continue reading. This can be time-consuming, especially if the article was sent by someone else or was posted earlier.

Fortunately, WeChat has a built-in "Read Later" feature. When you're reading an article and need to reply to a message, tap the three dots in the top right corner and choose "Pin in Chat." This keeps the article open in the chat window so you can easily return to it after replying.

These are just two small but incredibly useful features that aren’t always obvious. It's possible that many WeChat users haven’t discovered them yet. If you know any other hidden tips or tricks, feel free to share them in the comments below and help others make the most of their WeChat experience.
