It is said that fox sister opened her mobile phone in the morning, saw a message, and the iPhone in her hand vibrated.
Outrageous to the mother to open the door this is not a few days ago, there is news that Apple is going to start to gradually remove the long-term non-updated app. There was even an email warning that "apps that haven't been updated in a long time" would be removed from the app store and that developers would be given 30 days to update.
Netizens who eat melon have expressed their incomprehension about this, which is unreasonable.
It is not a secret, when the fox sister saw this message, her first reaction was that the outrageous opened the door to the outrageous, it was simply outrageous to home.
Affected by this policy, Sensor Tower found that about 2966 apps and games may face removal in Apple's latest cleanup, and WeChat is likely to be deleted if it does not change its update frequency.
Netizens said that if Apple forcibly uninstalls WeChat, who still chooses to buy Apple, that is true love powder.
App developer Robert Kabwe expressed his displeasure with the move on Twitter, revealing that Apple was about to remove the game motivoto it developed itself. The reason is that it's been more than two years since it was last updated, and Robert Kabwe bluntly says it's very unfair to indie developers.
On its posted emails, you can see that Apple has given 30 days for developers to update.
In addition to Apple, Google also announced that starting from November 1, 2022, within two years of the release of the android version, if it is not adjusted in time, the relevant applications will be hidden by default and can no longer be installed on the user's device.
Seeing this, Fox Sister can't help but sigh that these program developers are too difficult.
But this is abroad, and in the country fox sister does not seem to see the mandatory update.
Twisted melon is not sweet, then why these big brands are always keen to force update software, fox sister thought about it, or related to interests, if a software is not updated for a long time, there is no doubt that the brand can not get any benefits from it. The presence of zombie apps also occupies the location and maintenance of the store.
Brands force developers to update software, but also to further make the software more in line with their own requirements, just like the game update requires a real-name system, many software updates can only use the genuine version later. The APP has not been updated for a long time and even difficult to adapt to Apple's new models. On the other hand, some netizens said that this involves privacy issues, fox sister thought about it, after the update may be more conducive to their collection of data, in a sense is also an information war.
Although we don't understand the Tao Dao here, we really need to pay attention to the privacy and security issues of electronic products. Of course, it is not ruled out that the shop is a big bully, and we can force you to make a choice and properly face the capitalist.
Wake up! Writing here Fox Sister began to think about a question, is it necessary for the brand to force update software updates, and is it reasonable? As some netizens said, software updates are valuable to update and cannot be updated for the sake of updates.
If the software needs to be updated, there are generally two situations, one is that there is a bug and should be made up in time. Just like the other day was exposed that there are 17 unqualified apps that leak privacy, this must be handled and updated in a timely manner.
The second is to improve performance.
Some game software is really no way, must be updated, otherwise there is no way to play.
And if you update for the sake of updating, it will not fall into the hearts of users. I don't know if you have such an experience, sometimes it is updated, the sense of experience is not as good as the old version, or the updated features are not what you need. Like the previous WeChat launched the internal beta version, you can forward the content of the circle of friends to friends with one click.
Netizens have said that there is no use, for some people who pay more attention to privacy is not friendly, do not know whether this is convenient for the boss to squeeze force forwarding, or let the micro-business laugh and blossom? Useful features have not been added, do some fancy.
Of course, in addition to this, WeChat has also added other features, such as a new cache cleaning mode and customized ringtones for friends.
It seems to be a bit useful, and it seems to be useless, in short, it is almost like scratching the itch of the boots.
Let's just think about asking the WeChat team (microphone to Zhang Xiaolong), when can there be a function of editing the circle of friends after release, or the function of two-way deletion, online, etc.
Finally, Fox Sister wants to say that forced updates tire software developers and don't necessarily make users like it. Only by really doing practical things and serving users can we go further.
