On June 21, people close to Tencent said that a number of software, including WeChat, are developing and adapting the HarmonyOS system and communicating with each other.
On June 22, an engineer from Huawei told reporters that at present, WeChat is working with Huawei on the development and adaptation of the native HarmonyOS system and technical communication. Because of the difference in volume and function, the adaptation cycle and progress of different products are different, so you need to wait patiently. For more information, please pay attention to the information on the official website of Huawei Developer Alliance.
This is undoubtedly good news, as a purely domestic operating system, the Hongmeng system is safe, autonomous, and controllable, which not only effectively protects our information security, but also is the first distributed intelligent operating system.
As the largest Internet company in China, Tencent has a variety of software, among which WeChat is the largest social platform, serving more than one billion people, which greatly facilitates people's daily life.
Before, I have been worried that WeChat will not be suitable for Hongmeng, and some netizens are even ready to "choose one of the two", but now it seems that it is just a farce, and domestic companies are still very united.
Tencent plays a pivotal role in the HarmonyOS ecosystem
Tencent has dozens of apps, covering social networking, entertainment, information, tools, games and other fields. This includes, but is not limited
Social aspects: WeChat, QQ, TIM, QIM, WeCom
Entertainment: Tencent Video, QQ Music, WeChat Mini Game, Tencent Microvision, WeSing, Tencent Animation, Tencent Games, Penguin E-sports
News information: Tencent News, Tencent News Express Edition, Express
Tools: QQ Browser, Tencent Mobile Manager, Tencent Map, WeChat Phone Book, Tencent WiFi Manager, Tencent Desktop, Tencent Meeting
Reading and learning: QQ reading, Tencent classroom, WeChat reading
Life services: QQ Mail, Tencent Weather, QQ Reminder, QQ Space, QQ Couple, QQ Food, Penguin FM, Tencent Sports, Viewing House, Yixun Lottery, App Treasure, Weiyun, Album Manager, Battery Manager, QQ Synchronization Assistant, Tencent Cleaning Master
Others: Bodong App, Coffee Meng, Bodong, Dolphin Zhiyin, Hapi, Xinyue, Hot Pot Video, etc.
These apps are used by a large number of users, with more than 100 million monthly active users of a variety of software, including 1.2 billion monthly active users of WeChat, 750 million monthly active users of WeChat Mini Games, 553 million monthly active users of QQ, 500 million monthly active users of Tencent Video, 430 million monthly active users of QQ Browser, 316 million monthly active users of QQ Music, and more than 100 million monthly active users of Tencent Games' "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite".
Among these apps, WeChat has the highest gold content, and it is also the key to Tencent's survival and development, and it is also Tencent's deepest moat.
Many people think that WeChat is an instant messaging tool, as long as the state takes action, it can be replaced in minutes. But in reality, this is not the case.
WeChat has developed to this day, not that it has not encountered opponents, nor that its opponents are not strong, but it is still a towering tree that cannot be shaken in the social platform, because WeChat is strong enough, flexible enough, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
China Mobile launched an instant messaging tool in May 2007, Feixin, which can send and receive text messages and voice calls, four years earlier than WeChat, but finally announced its closure in 2022 due to poor management.
Alibaba has also launched the social platform DingTalk, back and forth, back and forth did not set off waves at all, although DingTalk is developing well, but it is more about punching cards and meetings, and workers dream of uninstalling it.
Huawei has launched the Changlian APP, which has many similar functions to WeChat, but basically no one uses it, and the ecosystem can't do it.
China Mobile, Alibaba, Huawei, which opponent is not strong? Which opponent is short of money? Lack of people? Lack of resources? But I just can't do WeChat.
WeChat's strength lies first in its huge user base, with 1.2 billion monthly active users, which is itself a super traffic pool, which forms a huge social network.
WeChat also gives the software a number of functions such as text, voice, video, group chat, circle of friends, official account, and small program.
In terms of daily life, it has added functions such as online shopping, food ordering, taxi, ticket booking, etc., and has many functions such as scanning code payment, living payment, mobile phone payment, and transfer, basically covering all aspects of life.
With the advent of the self-media era, WeChat has launched an official account, WeChat account, and video account.
You have a variety of electronic products, mobile phones, Ping An, computers, etc., it doesn't matter that WeChat supports them, mobile phones, desktop versions, and web versions.
In addition, WeChat also has a huge ecological synergy, you can scan the QR code through WeChat to log in to other Tencent products, including Tencent video, Tencent games, etc. In addition, in order to compete for users, more and more software cooperates with WeChat to open WeChat scanning code registration and login, including DingTalk and Straight Flush.
It can be said that WeChat is no longer a simple instant messaging tool, it has become a super platform for people and people, people and services, people and business interconnection, and its convenience, speed and power make us deeply immersed in it.
To put it mildly, at present, if any mobile phone or computer, the operating system does not support the use of WeChat, it will basically miss the Chinese market.
To this end, Huawei Hongmeng actively strives for Tencent and has made major concessions, Android, iOS for WeChat digital content consumption 30%, and Hongmeng is considering making concessions, the commission is set at 20% or lower, which shows Hongmeng's sincerity.
At present, Tencent Enterprise has a number of products to brighten up the Huawei Developer Conference, including: Tencent Video, Tencent News, QQ Browser, Sogou Input Method, Tencent Self-selected Stocks, QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music, National K Song, Lazy Listening, and Starting Point Reading.
A number of Tencent's products are being developed and adapted to the HarmonyOS system, including WeChat, which consumers are most concerned about, and the two sides are working together to ensure a smooth, safe and stable transition to the new system in the shortest possible time.
On June 21, Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei and Chairman of Device BG, officially released the HarmonyOS operating system HarmonyOS Next, which is what we call "Pure-blooded HarmonyOS", which has three major features: full-scenario, native intelligence, and native security, and can improve device performance by 30%.
Pure-blooded Hongmeng no longer has a problem in technology, and the voice of consumers is also very high, but it is still insufficient in terms of ecology.
According to Yu Chengdong's introduction, up to now, TOP 5000 applications have joined the HarmonyOS ecosystem, 1500+ applications have been put on the shelves, and the development of HarmonyOS native applications has been launched in many fields.
But this is very different from Android and iOS, there are 2.8 million apps in the global Android market, including 1.37 million in the Chinese market, and more than 2.6 million apps in Google's Google Play.
iOS also has 1.8 million apps, and the Chinese market has 1.36 million.
It can be seen that the HarmonyOS system still needs to make great efforts in terms of ecology, attract more developers, make native applications bigger and stronger, and reach millions of APPs in order to compete with Android and iOS.
As a safe and controllable operating system independently developed by China, can the Hongmeng system catch up with and surpass iOS and Android in the era of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things?
This requires not only the support of big platforms such as Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu, but also the help of consumers and developers.
I am a science and technology master, welcome to discuss!
