WeChat isn’t just an app; it’s a way of life for a diverse and connected global community.
While this app offers an impressive range of features, some aspects of its performance on Android devices leave room for improvement. One notable issue pertains to posting pictures on the time capsule feature. On Android, this action results in the picture being instantly transformed into a video, where the sole activity is continuous zooming into the image. This experience can be rather disconcerting and detracts from the overall user experience. It is my earnest request that this issue be addressed promptly. I hope to enjoy a more seamless photo-sharing experience without the unwanted zooming effect on my pictures.
