Because of the development of Internet technology, online social development is very fast, social software can be said to be deeply loved by people. WeChat, for example, has reached 1.2 billion. This year, its user scale will be further improved.
Like the current social software WeChat, QQ, Momo, Soul, Douyin, Kuaishou, these should be everyone involved or are using. And to say that the highest number of users, of course, is our WeChat. Not only is he the most used in social software, he is a well-deserved number one in the entire software field.

Everyone also knows that WeChat is the social platform of Ma Huateng's Tencent. And last year was the eleventh anniversary of his birth. The revenue achieved by WeChat has reached 100 billion yuan. This is inseparable from the huge volume of WeChat. According to weChat founder Zhang Xiaolong, the number of people who use WeChat every day has reached as many as one billion. More than 700 million people will click on the circle of friends, it can be said that such data, basically in the entire software market, basically no other software can match. In fact, when it comes to this, everyone thinks it is relatively normal, and sending a circle of friends before going to bed has become a habit of the vast majority of people. Even if no one is talking to us, we are willing to pay attention to the dynamics of our friends.
But you know, WeChat did not have such a high popularity at the beginning, in the beginning, there are two software, there is a very large possibility to surpass WeChat.
Letter
The first is Fetion, which many people may not have heard of, and even think that this is a pirated version of WeChat. But he is several years older than WeChat and was born in 2007. Fetion may have been the first social software to really appear.
Fetion was pushed by China Mobile and was able to send text messages for free at that time. At that time, a text message would have cost a dime. Fetion is free of flow, and behind them is China Mobile, which is quite beneficial to the development of Fetion.

Coupled with that time, the "war" between 360 and QQ was also an excellent time for Fetion. In any case, the number of users who used QQ at that time was a small number. Then there will inevitably be a lot of user churn. So in that period, Fetion had more than half a billion users. At that time, it was still the era of 2G and 3G, and there were not so many people with mobile phones, and they could still achieve such results, which can be said to be comparable to the current WeChat.
But success also moves, and defeat also moves. China Mobile's main business is not social software, and it has not completely injected all its energy into the promotion and development and upgrading of Fetion. Coupled with the birth of WeChat later, there was originally a batch of QQ as its own old customers, and the whole development was smoother.
Rice chat
The second is our rice chat, which is also slightly older than WeChat. That is, at the beginning of the rise of smart phones, a social software was launched, and Mi Chat was also the first software to launch voice functions, and WeChat at that time was also born, but compared to Mi Chat, the function was not very extensive. Therefore, in just a few months, Mi Chat has reached more than one million users. Coupled with the emergence of Xiaomi mobile phones, it can be said that The Rice Chat has directly pushed it to a commanding height. However, the later WeChat also launched a voice project, and also launched a new function, because there is QQ in the front, and then launched a circle of friends, public accounts and other services. In less than two years, the number of users has reached 200 million.

Conclusion
Later, Mi Chat slowly withdrew from the social software market. WeChat has also continued to grow and develop on its own good foundation, and has developed into an irreplaceable social software in people's lives.
