In daily conversations, we often exchange a wide variety of content, including webpages, files, photos, and videos. However, not all of this content can be opened automatically using your preferred apps.

To maximize your control over content, WeChat version 8.0.62 introduces a new feature that allows you to open desired files or links from your WeChat conversations with other apps, which will make your workflow smoother and more personalized.

This feature allows you to choose the ideal mobile app to open any specific content. Whether you need to view a detailed document in a professional reader, navigate a webpage in your preferred external browser, or edit a photo in your favorite app, you now have more flexibility at your fingertips.

How to Use It:

Open the desired content (webpage, file, photo, or video) in your chat.
Tap the "..." menu, and in the first row to the end, select "Open with other apps."
Select "Phone app".
Select from the list, or either tap "More".
Select your desired app.

This feature is an exciting enhancement for anyone who values a seamless workflow. However, when opening files or links from others, always make sure they come from trusted sources. Avoid opening unknown or suspicious content that may contain harmful or misleading information. WeChat’s built-in safeguards continue to help detect and block unsafe content, but your awareness is the best first line of defense.

Update your app today and start enjoying the simple convenience of having the right app for the right content, every single time!
