Recently, Tencent officially released its financial report for the first quarter of 2024.
According to the report, Tencent's first-quarter revenue was 159.5 billion yuan, and adjusted net profit was 50.27 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 54%.
In addition, the report shows that as of March 31, 2024, the combined monthly active accounts of WeChat and WeChat were 1.359 billion, a year-on-year increase of 3%.
The number of monthly active accounts on QQ mobile terminals was 553 million, down 7% year-on-year.
It can be seen that WeChat's monthly active users are still growing steadily, and the two are still showing a trend of eliminating the other's strengths.

After talking about the general content of the financial report, let's take a look at the recent new trends of Tencent's two national social apps.
As we all know, with the development of society, the earthquake early warning function has gradually become popular, whether it is at the mobile phone level or at the app level.
Under normal circumstances, Android phones come with their own earthquake warnings, and we only need to manually turn it on in the settings.
However, iOS users are not so lucky, first of all, for some reason, the iPhone does not currently have an earthquake warning function.

Even earthquake warning apps on the App Store are currently charged, and downloading an app on its own can take up a lot of space.
And on May 12, the 16th anniversary of the May 12 Wenchuan earthquake, Tencent brought good news.
That is, Tencent officially announced that QQ has launched the earthquake early warning function, and at the same time upgraded the WeChat early warning function and the "Sichuan Earthquake Early Warning Platform WeChat Mini Program".

It is understood that the WeChat earthquake early warning function is completed in cooperation with the Sichuan Provincial Earthquake Bureau.
At present, this function has realized the ability to issue earthquake warnings for earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in Sichuan Province 5-15 seconds after the earthquake.
Interested users, especially iPhone users, can follow the methods below to turn on the WeChat alert function.
First of all, we need to pay attention to the official account "Sichuan Earthquake Observatory".
In order to receive the warning normally, then we need to turn off "Do Not Disturb" and then turn on "Location Information" in the Official Account settings.
After that, click "Earthquake Warning" - "Warning Settings" at the bottom of the chat box in the background of the official account.
Then follow the prompts and click "Add" (add alert location) in the upper right corner - "Save and experience alert".
After the setting is completed, we can receive the warning message through WeChat.
And for QQ users, the operation method is also very simple.
First of all, we searched for and followed "QQ City Help" on QQ.
Then, click "Earthquake Warning" - "Add Warning Location" - "Select Intensity Range" to complete the setting.
The group that benefits the most from this feature is undoubtedly iPhone users who don't need the system's built-in earthquake warning.
It is worth mentioning that both WeChat and QQ need to stay concerned in order to receive early warning information.
If you unfollow or delete a location, you won't be able to receive an alert at that time.
In addition, Tencent said it is working closely with the China Earthquake Administration to develop a national WeChat earthquake early warning service platform.
At present, the platform has entered the internal testing stage, and it is expected to be rolled out nationwide soon.
In addition, Tencent plans to gradually expand the earthquake warning function of WeChat and QQ to more provinces, further expanding the coverage of this life-saving network.
Let's wait for the full launch of WeChat and QQ earthquake warning functions!
