What does the sign with small ears next to WeChat mean?

? There is an ear next to WeChat, which means receiver. It means that your WeChat has turned on the handset mode, and the voice is played through the handset rather than released, just like answering the phone.

The process of turning this function on or off:

Tool: Huawei P50

System: HarmonyOS system 2.0

Wechat version: V8.0. 18

1. Open WeChat first and click me.

2. Click Settings.

3. Click "Chat"

4. The first item is "Use the handset to play voice". The default is off.

5. Slide the switch to the open position.

6. Go back and start a group or contact casually. Notice that "ears" appear next to contacts. In this way, the mobile phone mode is turned on. At this point, the WeChat voice message is released from the small speaker at the receiver, and the sound can be clearly heard only when the receiver is close to the ear.
