微信聊天反复出现“对方正在输入……”,说明对方在干什么?

在微信里,最让人心跳加速的6个字,不是“我好喜欢你啊”,也不是“你的奖金发了”。

给别人发完微信,你可能会看到:

“对方正在输入”,总让人心跳加速、屏气凝神、浮想联翩。

“对方正在输入”什么时候会出现?

很多人觉得,只要对方在打字,自己就能看到。
真相是,要触发得同时满足两个条件:
① 时效性:你发出消息后,对方必须在10秒内打开对话框。
② 动作感:对方打开了且还在输入框里打了字(哪怕只是打个空格)。

If your friend types a message within 10 seconds of you sending them a message, you'll see the "Typing..." indicator.

However, this indicator only appears when there are messages in the chat box.

出现“对方正在输入……”,TA正在缓慢打字中⬇

不会出现“对方正在输入……”⬇

时有时无型

如果断断续续地出现“对方正在输入……”,说明对方打了字又删,删了又改。

If the "Typing..." indicator appears intermittently, it means the other person is typing, deleting, and revising repeatedly.

当然,如果对方是在复制粘贴文字发送给你,也会显示“对方正在输入……”

If the other person is copying and pasting text to send to you, the "Typing..." indicator will also appear.

如何不显示“对方正在输入”?

那么,怎么做才能不显示“对方正在输入……”呢?

① 忍住!收到信息后,等待十秒后再回复。

To avoid showing the "Typing..." indicator on other people's WeChat interface, wait ten seconds before replying.

② 发表情包回复。

只发表情包是不会显示“对方正在输入……”的。

Only sending stickers will not cause the "Typing..." indicator to appear.

③ 在输入法选字框里打字,不要手抖按进输入框中。

Type in the character selection box of the input method, but make sure not to accidentally enter an unwanted character into the input field due to shaky hands.

但是,如果你想用发语音代替,对方的界面中也会显示“对方正在讲话……”

But if you want to use voice messages instead, the other person's interface will also display "Speaking..."
