- The invitation build requires a text-message link; its reported test window runs November 7 to December 7.
- Several Xiaowei entry points require account eligibility and version 8.0.23.35 or later, rather than universal availability.
Invitation build arrives
WeChat's HarmonyOS app received version 8.0.23.36 (8394532) through Huawei AppGallery on November 7, according to user feedback reported by IT Home. Installation requires recipients to follow a link in an invitation text message. The reported testing window runs from November 7 to December 7.
The update description says only that some known issues were fixed. IT Home separately attributes a broader 8.0.23 feature list to blogger 伤心萨摩耶Ciuciu; that list should not be read as confirmation that every entry debuted in this particular build.
AI access remains conditional
The roundup describes long-press access to Xiaowei for images inside public-account articles or image posts. It also lists Xiaowei questions for chat messages and summaries of web links or document files.
Those entries require an account selected for Xiaowei access and app version 8.0.23.35 or later. Article AI summaries and selected-text questions have the same minimum version in the report. The invitation update therefore does not establish general availability, newly introduced AI capabilities across all accounts, or independently tested performance.
