On September 25, 2025, WeChat unveiled a significant enhancement to its image search capability through the 'WeChat Dispatch' official account. Now, users have the ability to long-press images in chat conversations or Moments and tap into the 'Search' function to unlock three primary features: information gathering, product buying, and table transformation.

For information gathering, the feature harnesses the power of Tencent YouTu Lab's technology, which can accurately recognize over 200 types of objects, scenes, and text. In optimal lighting conditions, the accuracy rate for object recognition soars to 92%, while text recognition boasts an impressive 98% accuracy.

When it comes to product buying, this function seamlessly integrates with WeChat's e-commerce framework. It swiftly matches similar products within a mere 3 seconds and gives precedence to links leading to WeChat Stores, brand official mini-programs, and partner e-commerce sites. Notably, click-through rates have surged by 47% when compared to conventional search methods.

The table transformation feature is equally remarkable, allowing users to convert image-based tables into Excel format with a single click. For tables with 20 rows and 5 columns, the accuracy rate reaches an impressive 96%. Once converted, these tables can be directly saved to Tencent Docs, facilitating multi-user collaborative editing.
