On the evening of May 11th,"WeChat Status Visitor Record"Topped the list of hot searches. Today (May 12), WeChat employee @客村小江 posted a response: The hotly searched topic #微信STATUSvisitorrecord# is actually very misleading.WeChat status does not provide the function of viewing visitor records.

This hot search is because WeChat status has recently tested two functions on a small scale: one is the function of displaying the number of status viewers. After the status is released, during the validity period of the status, you can see the number of viewers of this status in the lower right corner. Yes,Just showing the number of people.

We have now stopped testing the status display. We will test many functions on a small scale and iterate through continuous optimization based on user feedback. Thanks again for your feedback.

In addition, there is another feature of the small-scale test. On your status page, a few avatar bubbles of friends who have posted status will be randomly displayed among the friends passing by. You can review his status by clicking on it, so that friends who like to post status can interact more conveniently. Currently, this ability has been stopped for testing.

We will also continue to optimize the experience based on feedback, thank you all.


On the same day, Tencent’s public relations directorZhang JunRetweeted WeChat employee @客村小江’s Weibo and said:

Indeed, this function of testing the number of viewers on a small scale (not specific to individuals) has been misunderstood. But this is our responsibility.Read and guest functions, if I remember correctly, everyone has repeatedly stated that they must not do it. Here, I would like to emphasize again:These two functions have been welded together and will not be developed or provided.As for the function of displaying the number of WeChat status viewers in this small-scale test, it has also been stopped. Thank you all!


In response to this, WeChat responded to Nandu N Video reporter by saying that WeChat status has stopped testing the status display function of the number of viewers. We will conduct a small-scale test of the function and make optimizations based on user feedback.WeChat Status does not provide or test the ability to view visitor records.

On the 11th, a netizen posted, “Why can I see visitors in my WeChat status?”

The netizen said that this function should currently be in the internal testing stage, and the number of viewers will most likely show "people who saw your status" rather than the number of clicks. The avatar that appears after clicking includes both people who have viewed your status and people who have also posted your status. In addition, the netizen believes that the accuracy of browsing data of historical WeChat status is limited and the reference value is not high.



Many netizens expressed: "Why do all APPs insist on visitor records?" "No! How can I look at other people after doing this..." "Stop upgrading and all the visitors will come out after upgrading the Moments."





It is worth noting that the vast majority of netizens only express their opinions and have not actually experienced this function.

In response to netizens' questions, a Beijing Daily reporter consulted Tencent customer service. Customer service responded: During the validity period of the WeChat status, users can check the number of viewers in the lower right corner of the status. If the current viewer has also set a status, tap the image to view the other person's current status.However, this function currently only supports grayscale testing on the iOS client. Tencent customer service said: “If you do not see the relevant functions, please wait patiently for subsequent version updates."
