WeChat has released version 8.0.80 for iOS to provide basic compatibility with the new Apple iPhone Duo. The update follows the official launch of the foldable smartphone, which is now available in retail stores.
While the latest update allows the application to occupy more of the internal display, it remains incomplete. Users report that a wide black bar persists on the right side of the screen, and the app lacks a dedicated tablet mode to utilize the foldable form factor effectively.
The issue gained significant attention on October 22, following the publication of initial reviews for the iPhone Duo. Users expressed concerns regarding the lack of optimization for popular apps on the new device.
Tencent support confirmed that development for full compatibility with Apple foldable devices is ongoing. The company plans to release further updates as they are ready, though no specific timeline for a full fix has been provided.
