As we all know, with the development of the mobile Internet, the subscription function has become the most common way for people to obtain various services.
However, there are many tricks in this, especially the "auto-renewal" function.
At the beginning, the auto-renewal function of the mobile app was still very useful, and it was easy to renew it as soon as the time came.
However, as we all know, this feature is gradually being broken.
Many manufacturers use continuous monthly, seasonal, and annual packages to indicate that the price of automatic renewal will be much cheaper than the original package.
This has led to users opening corresponding packages for the first month, first quarter, and first year discounts.
However, sometimes I have a bad memory, and it is often easy to forget this incident, and I often wait until I am deducted to remember, but it is too late.
Especially for the older elders, this kind of thing is even more commonplace.
All in all, users have been struggling with auto-renewal for a long time.
In response to this situation, among the 26 requirements proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last year, one of the 26 required measures included a "timely reminder of service renewal".
Since then, many apps, such as Alipay and WeChat, have launched auto-renewal deduction reminder services.
That is, a few days before the merchant is automatically deducted, the platform will push a message reminder.

In addition to the App level, Xiaomi also took action in March this year, and its official account @小米应用商店发布了关于 the announcement of "New Auto-Renewal Function Standard".
To put it simply, Xiaomi requires the auto-renewal of apps on the app store to be confirmed twice by the user before it can be activated.
In addition, apps must clearly inform users of how and how to cancel auto-renewal.
Before auto-renewal, the app must remind the user of the relevant matters by SMS or push so that the user can handle it.

The time came to mid-April, and recently Xiaomi said that this new regulation will officially take effect on April 13!
In this way, not only at the level of individual apps, this time Xiaomi directly restricts from the app store level.
The chaos of "auto-renewal" is finally coming to an end!
Speaking of which, users of other mobile phone brands are probably going to be red-eyed!
Don't worry, the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests" released last month officially included matters related to automatic renewal into the new regulations.
The specific content of the regulations on automatic renewal is basically the same as the new regulations of the Xiaomi App Store.
According to the introduction, this "regulation" will be officially implemented on July 1 this year, so users of other mobile phone brands do not have to worry.
On the premise that Xiaomi takes the lead in setting an example, there is a high probability that "friends and businessmen" will follow suit.
It won't take long for the auto-renewal pit to be completely filled!

In addition to curbing automatic renewal, Xiaomi's new system surging OS has also made new moves recently.
According to the feedback of many users, the Xiaomi 10 series has recently been pushed to the surging OS official version for internal testing, with the version number of 1.0.3.0.TJACNXM and the installation package size of 4.1GB.
Immediately afterwards, the Xiaomi 11 / Pro / Ultra mobile phones were also launched for the closed beta of the official version of the Xiaomi Surging OS based on Android 14.
The version number is 1.0.2.0.UKACNXM and the installation package size is 5.3 GB.
The main updates include underlying reconstruction, cross-terminal intelligent connectivity, global security, and life aesthetics.
Students who haven't used the latest version can download it now.
The above is Xiaomi's latest move.
What do you think of these changes?
