Huawei Hongmeng and WeChat want to choose one of the two? This melon is a bit big

In recent days, the news related to HuaweiP70 series has been spread in the machine circle.

However, Xiaolei noticed that there has been the latest progress in the adaptation of Hongmeng's native applications.

Pinching your fingers, it has only been half a year since Huawei officially launched the HarmonyOS native application.

At this point in time, there is already a full version of the HarmonyOS native application online, and the speed is still very fast.

Friends, don't forget, there are still dozens of APPs, and they are working overtime to develop HarmonyOS native applications.

Like Alibaba, Meituan and other commonly used head apps, they have already announced the start of the development of HarmonyOS applications.

However, Xiao Lei has to say but, but hey.

WeChat, a national-level social APP, has not expressed its position for a long time and has not joined the development of Hongmeng's native applications.

So the question is, when will WeChat follow up with its friends and embrace the new HarmonyOS ecosystem?

Huawei and WeChat are on the bar?

Recently, there have been rumors that Huawei and WeChat have disagreed on the development of HarmonyOS native applications.

It is said that WeChat hopes to develop HarmonyOS native applications, and Huawei will give some special treatment to meet some of WeChat's needs.

Huawei, on the other hand, thinks that everyone is developing apps and should be treated equally, so it doesn't give WeChat any extra care.

So, the two sides are at such a stalemate, which has led to no major movement on WeChat in the development of HarmonyOS native applications.

Of course, these are just "said", but at present, WeChat has not officially announced that it has joined the team of HarmonyOS native applications.

After all, many of the leading apps of major manufacturers have officially announced that they will develop HarmonyOS native applications to support Huawei.

Back on September 25 last year, when Huawei's all-scenario new product launch conference was coming to an end, heavy news was exposed.

Yu Chengdong officially announced that the next version of HarmonyOS NEXT is ready to go, and the HarmonyOS native application is fully launched.

After the release of HarmonyOS 4, the number of upgraded HarmonyOS users has been rising, and the HarmonyOS application ecosystem has also reached an opportunity to grow.

It was also from that time that one after another head APPs announced in a high-profile manner that they would develop pure-blooded Hongmeng native applications.

At present, the mainstream APP of Hongmeng native applications has been launched, and there are dozens of them, Xiaolei directly made a summary map, and friends can take a look.

Among them, the first full version of the HarmonyOS native application has been officially released!

This full version has a high degree of completion, such as "homepage, seeing, hearing, CCTV and other core functions".

In addition, for example, the live broadcast list page, the account system and some secondary menu pages have also been fully implemented.

Not only that, but this version has also completed the adaptation of devices and scenes such as tablets and folding screen mobile phones, which is comfortable.

This is not the end of the story, and we will continue to optimize the performance of the app in dark mode, HUAWEI ID login, and APP performance.

Xiao Lei thought that the development time of the first pure-blooded Hongmeng app would be longer, but he didn't expect it to be freshly released in just half a year.

So, with the CCTV APP taking the lead, I believe that the applications of other head APPs will soon come out.

Changlian can't replace WeChat

If WeChat has not developed a HarmonyOS native application, is there any way to solve it on Huawei's side?

Xiaolei noticed that many people think that Huawei's own "Changlian" APP may be the best solution to this problem.

Judging from the number of installs in the app store, Changlian has accumulated 4.5 billion times, which can indeed be said to be far ahead.

At the functional level, Changlian can also compete with WeChat, and in some places it is even slightly better.

Basic chat, support palace format to share pictures, sound emojis, encrypted messages, video messages, and voice progress bars.

Video chat, support multi-device connectivity, cross-device transfer, screen sharing, beauty enhancement, remote conferencing, and more.

In addition, there are a series of additional practical functions such as large file flash transmission, video alarm and earthquake early warning.

So, it is no wonder that many people feel that Changlian can replace WeChat and meet the needs of most people for social networking and part of the office.

There is naturally no problem with Changlian at the functional level, and the problem mainly appears in the awareness of the majority of mobile phone users.

Needless to say, after more than 10 years of development, WeChat has already established a deep and inseparable connection with users.

Let's just say that in terms of socializing, learning, working and living, we are inseparable from the ecology of WeChat.

In particular, the addition of WeChat Mini Programs allows the binding relationship between users and APP to reach a higher level.

Therefore, in terms of user stickiness, Huawei wants to persuade everyone to change from WeChat to Changlian, which is quite difficult.

In addition, some additional practical functions of the Changlian app require the support of Huawei devices and HUAWEI ID.

For Huawei users, having a more complete set of social chat and office functions is the icing on the cake.

But for users of other brands of devices, this will undoubtedly be a threshold for entering the HarmonyOS application ecosystem.

If you want Xiaolei to say, if you can "replace" WeChat in the case of Huawei's WeChat, maybe it should be Alipay?

Alipay is used by almost everyone, and there is nothing to say about the number of users covered, and it is also developing HarmonyOS applications.

Alipay also has a friend list, which can meet the needs of chat transfers, and even has a similar "Moments" function.

Collaboration is the best choice

Judging from Xiaolei's years of experience in the technology circle, Huawei and WeChat will not just get up, but will eventually cooperate.

The reason is very simple, Huawei Changlian is not enough to replace WeChat, and WeChat cannot give up the hundreds of millions of users of HarmonyOS devices.

The interests and needs of both parties are generally the same, and the situation of Hongmeng and WeChat choosing one or the other will not appear, welcome to slap in the face~

In addition, on March 2 this year, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology and the Shenzhen Municipal Government Service and Data Administration jointly issued the "Shenzhen 2024 Action Plan for Supporting the Development of Open Source HarmonyOS Native Applications".

The Action Plan proposes:

By 2024, the number of HarmonyOS native applications in Shenzhen will account for more than 10% of the country's total, and Shenzhen's major vertical areas will achieve full coverage of HarmonyOS native applications.

Tencent is headquartered in Shenzhen, WeChat and QQ are also big brother apps in the field of instant messaging, and it is likely to be adapted to Hongmeng sooner or later.

So, Huawei users don't have to worry too much about choosing between Huawei and WeChat, and look forward to the completion of the HarmonyOS ecosystem as soon as possible.
