Yesterday, the iOS version of WeChat 5.0 was released early, instantly sparking a nationwide craze for playing the 'airplane game.' Unfortunately, Android users could only watch longingly as iOS users played the game, with no airplanes of their own to play. Last night, the WeChat team also released the Android version 5.0 test version. However, only users who had already applied for the beta test can use it. Android users who did not apply for the beta must continue watching others play the airplane game...
The Android version of WeChat 5.0 has almost the same features as the iOS version released yesterday morning, including the Game Center (which also has the airplane game), the Emoji Store, WeChat Pay, public account folding, and more.
The only difference is that the Emoji Store in the Android version of WeChat 5.0 directly triggers 'WeChat Pay,' with Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Co., Ltd. as the payment provider. Android users can link their bank cards in the Emoji Store to complete purchases. The iOS version's Emoji Store uses the iTunes purchase channel. Many users said they couldn't find where to link their bank card. WeChat explained that the system will automatically prompt users to link their bank card in a payment environment and that there won't be a separate entry or menu for binding a bank card for now. WeChat for Android 5.0 invites you to participate in the internal trial; click the link below to download and install.
