Q: Why do you want to hide the function of plain text?

Allen: in fact, in the first version of the Circle of friends, there is no text-only feature development plan, send plain text is only an internal testing function, the purpose is not to let users send plain text.

Because for an ordinary user, it is more difficult for him to write a word than he sent a picture, we hope that our products can be used by everyone, so the picture is our main push function.
