Today, whether WeChat will activate the read function has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and the vast majority of netizens are firmly opposed to it.Tencent customer service said in response to netizen inquiries that WeChat does not provide this function for the time being. At the same time, Tencent’s public relations director @tencent张jun also issued an article emphasizing that this topic has been responded to before.

Zhang Jun said: "Read" will increase the psychological burden and social pressure of the message recipient, so WeChat has been steadfast in not providing this function from the beginning, and will not do so in the future.

At that time, the official WeChat account also replied: Don’t worry, there is no “if”.

Everyone can rest assured. Judging from multiple official responses, WeChat has not considered adding a read function at all. From the sender's point of view, of course, it is necessary to know whether the other party has received it. There is a "read" mark, which seems to solve this problem very well.

But for the recipient, the pressure is very high. Once it is marked "read", the next step is "should I reply or not?"

Zhang Jun once said: "Isn't it bad that I didn't reply even though the other party knew they had read it? If it was sent by a superior, the pressure would be even greater."
