In fact, when this version was revealed, countless users expressed their expectations.
After all, when the number of users of a software exceeds tens of millions.
Qualitative change has actually begun.
Many colleagues may not have responded yet.
I thought it would be easy for a mobile app to exceed 10 million.
This is also the current popularity of mobile applications, especially mobile games, which gives them an illusion.
But actually.
At this stage, Future S1 is so popular that shipments will be close to 20 million.
The Jiaming Alliance has more users, but the number of smartphones that can run WeChat is only about 200 million.
This will also eliminate many users who are unwilling to try new things, and even if they use smartphones, they cannot adapt to WeChat because they are older.
And now.
WeChat has 30 million registered users.
It can really be said to be a semi-national application.
This level of application.
It is still a communication software that users almost download and use and may open every day.
A small version update may attract a lot of attention.
What's more, it's such a big and high-profile version update.
With so many users, even if only one person out of ten comes out to express his opinion, it is a huge volume of voice.
so.
When the new version of WeChat is officially launched on August 20th.
Just been online for an hour.
On the hot search, the topic of WeChat appeared.
And people discussing it are everywhere.
Social media, forums, player communities, and even various WeChat groups and Tianhu chat groups.
You can see the discussion.
This really exceeded the expectations of many Linmu Studio colleagues.
Probably the number of registered users on WeChat exceeded 30 million so quickly that everyone ignored it. What an exaggerated number it was.
And in the new version of WeChat.
The strongest user experience is of course the function of making friends with strangers.
This function did not have a good reputation in Lin Yao's previous life.
Even in the later stages, it became a completely dispensable function.
However, when this feature was first launched, it was really popular.
In the beginning, most people were looking for someone to chat with on messaging software.
Because most users don’t have many friends, there’s nothing they can do about it.
In the development process of communication software, even WeChat cannot be accepted by everyone at the first time.
Everyone's acceptance of new things is different.
Maybe many early adopters have downloaded WeChat and think it is really useful, but only they are using it in their social circle.
No need to doubt.
This situation is normal.
In this case, 'LBS social', that is, the social demand for location-based services, was naturally born.
None of the friends around me use WeChat.
However, with the advancement of mobile Internet, online life is no longer limited to PCs. People can access the Internet at every location.
Naturally, some people will want to find someone to chat with at the remote end or nearby.
This is the most fundamental need in human nature.
Although some people do use this function with different intentions.
However, this is not a problem with the function itself, but rather that each user uses the function for different purposes.
This function cannot be killed with a stick just because of this.
And now WeChat is here.
The situation is actually the same.
Users also face the problem of not having many friends and low chat activity.
At this time, a stranger dating function like ‘Shake’ was launched.
It was an immediate hit!
How popular is this feature?
This directly caused a large number of users who did not intend to download WeChat to download the app instead.
On the day the new version was released, the number of users skyrocketed.
This is another benefit brought by this feature.
That is... it makes many potential users feel that if they download this software, they can still chat even if there is no one around them that they can chat with.
This has a great promotion effect on the spread of software.
In addition to this function.
In the new version of WeChat, there is another change that has been praised by peers, and that is the WeChat open interface.
at present.
Users can share music, news, food, photography and other content directly with friends from third-party applications.
For example, if a user hears a good song on the Sizhu Yueting platform, he can share it directly with his friends.
certainly.
There are currently very few scenarios where this function can be used. The main reason is that Jiaming Alliance supports very few applications. Future S1 is better. After all, WeChat only opens the interface. Whether it can be shared quickly depends on the efforts of other software.
However, currently on Future S1, applications that support this feature have a very good experience.
Many software developers are also happy to provide support for this sharing function.
Because this is a natural communication channel!
This time WeChat is being updated.
There are many other updates, big and small.
For example, Emoji expressions and custom chat backgrounds need not be mentioned.
Users are very surprised.
compare to.
Instead, it uses the public account function and the QR code social model.
For the first time, it didn't cause much trouble.
The former is not useful to many ordinary users.
As for the latter, it will take some time for users who are used to inputting each other's WeChat ID to add friends to feel its usefulness.
Also failing to make waves was the overseas version of WeChat, which was the first to complete its overseas expansion.
This is mainly due to the low shipment volume of the overseas version of Future S1.
but.
Just because there are no waves now does not mean that these functions will no longer exist.
They are there, have always been there.
Users will one day discover what this means.
In fact, on the day the new version was updated, some smart people... discovered what the killer weapon of the official account meant.
…
the other side.
Peers also discovered the benefits of QR code social networking earlier than users.
For example, Mou Feng from Tianhu.
"You open your own QR code."
Mou Feng picked up his Future S1 and motioned to Li Guangsheng to open his QR code.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Guangshang did as he was told, and then raised his phone.
Mou Feng directly scanned the QR code with his camera, and then looked at the add-in page that quickly popped up, and was slightly startled.
"How about it?"
Li Guangsheng glanced over his head, then was slightly startled and sighed: "Is it coming out now?"
"...Yes, it's coming out."
Mou Feng nodded slowly, then exited the page to add friends, and opened his QR code again.
The technology of QR code is actually nothing new here.
To put it bluntly, QR code uses several geometric shapes corresponding to binary to represent text numerical information.
Then it is automatically read through an image input device or a photoelectric scanning device to realize automatic information processing.
This is an open coding technology, and there are no patent or copyright disputes.
Mou Feng has also heard of it and even been exposed to it.
But this thing has always been used here in fields such as transportation and postal logistics.
It is generally used to facilitate staff to track the transportation, distribution and management of goods.
He never thought that this thing could be used to add friends...
So smooth!
Actually.
This thing comes with the rewards of the mobile payment system.
Lin Yao didn't expect it at first, and thought it would be developed again.
But I didn’t expect it to be here too.
At the beginning, he said that he would use QR codes to build a new social system.
Zhong Xiu was confused.
Because he didn't even react.
Let alone Mou Feng.
However, even though it was my first time to use it, I was surprised.
But Mou Feng looked at his QR code, thought about it carefully, and thought it was reasonable.
Isn't QR code just a coding method for storing information?
As long as the user's ID, as well as the accompanying avatar, nickname and other information are all stuffed into the QR code, it will be represented by the QR code, and then automatically processed and jump to the add friend interface...
Before.
The hardware performance of smartphones is generally low, and scanning codes has high requirements on mobile phone pixels, processors and other related components.
Maybe it can't be done yet.
but.
Times have changed now, and even Jiaming Alliance’s smartphones can do the job perfectly...
"hiss……"
Mou Feng suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Vaguely aware of something.
Although he does not have the overall perspective like Lin Yao.
But at this moment, he did see a possible future.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Guangsheng asked immediately after seeing his reaction.
Mou Feng was about to explain.
But suddenly.
Secretary Li Guangsheng's voice came through the office door, which was not tightly closed.
Passed in.
"Sister Li, have you changed to Future S1? Add me as a friend."
"Okay, what's your WeChat ID?"
"No, just open 'Scan' and scan my QR code directly... Look, it comes out, this is me."
"Wow, is it so convenient?"
"..."
Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng turned their heads together.
He listened to the entire conversation outside the door.
then.
"That's what I was thinking about!"
Mou Feng suddenly turned around, looked at Li Guangsheng, and said solemnly: "I have a hunch! Next! QR codes will be an important entrance to the mobile Internet!
Linmu Studio’s sense of smell is so sensitive! QR code! It’s really a genius idea! We must follow closely! We must also add a scanning function to the app!”
"……I see."
Li Guangsheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.
In fact, it's not that he understood...
About mobile games.
Mou Feng asked him to follow in the footsteps of Lin Mu Studio.
Then Tianhu made a lot of money directly.
Now.
Mou Feng asked him to follow Lin Mu Studio again, and he subconsciously wanted to do it.
This can be considered a stress reaction...
Mou Feng said to keep up, Lin Mu Studio is doing it again.
No matter what... imitate first and then talk about it, it’s absolutely right!
this moment.
His idea is so simple.
It's really like crossing the river by touching Lin Mu Studio...
And after saying that, he immediately left the office and found someone to take charge of the matter.
Mou Feng watched Li Guangsheng leave, and then looked down at the QR code again.
Lost in thought.
He vaguely felt that things were far from that simple.
But he really couldn't think of anything more...
…
Tianhu has been beaten by Linmu Studio for so long and has become the company with the fastest response.
When most of my colleagues discovered the QR code function, they just discovered it.
Even many of Linmu Studio’s colleagues and senior executives are not as responsive as users.
August 21st.
Shake and other functions.
The freshness is still there though.
But more users have noticed more content in the new version.
Among them, including the new QR code social model!
You only need to send your own QR code to add friends?
Isn’t this too convenient!?
As more and more users speak, more and more users notice this feature.
QR code identification function.
It completely overturns the complicated operation of adding friends in the past, where you have to enter your account number, nickname and other information in the search, and then perform the search. It realizes adding friends in one sweep, which greatly facilitates user use.
So very quickly.
The associated heat begins to ferment quickly.
The QR code became instantly popular in one day!
At the same time, WeChat relies on its huge user base and its practical advantages to make QR codes instantly accepted by all users!
At this moment, the user discovered that making friends could be so easy and comfortable.
Just add a friend with a simple sentence.
Then open the QR code and you're done.
And it's also on this day.
The number of daily users of WeChat has officially jumped to 100,000.
Added 100,000 registered users in one day!
Then the second day, the third day, the fourth day...
It’s even increasing instead of decreasing!
when this data is disclosed.
It took many people to react.
What exactly does the QR code function mean?
In fact, it’s not just a QR code.
Shake, emoticon, customize chat background, etc.
This is for many people who have not responded.
Originally it was just a software update.
Although it is useful.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it is just an update.
But at this time.
One hundred thousand users are growing every day!
This is different...
Many people have realized that WeChat now has 30 million registered users!
If this continues, the number will increase by 100,000 every day.
When is the head?
Fifty million...or one hundred million?
Communication software with 100 million users...
hiss.
Is this just a simple communication software!?
Think of this.
finally.
Many people have come away from the illusion of the recent popularity of mobile terminals, and have also come away from the illusion that WeChat has grown rapidly in a short period of time, thinking that this is nothing great.
I admitted one thing.
The emergence of WeChat has indeed subverted people’s lives.
It has rich social functions, is easy to use, and has rich features.
It has indeed given it an almost monopoly position in social applications!
Monopoly!
Among social applications, the only one that can still make calls is probably Tianhu Chat.
But this one can fight like a three-year-old kid fighting a top boxer.
It can indeed be beaten.
But even if the child tries his best, he probably can't make the top boxer move even one step, right?
A monopoly social software.
A game company whose revenue is far behind the second place.
Damn it!!!
Unknowingly.
Linmu Studio, a game company, seems to have become a technology giant...
certainly.
Most investment banks in the industry already have an accurate understanding of this fact.
Linmu Studio is indeed not just a game company now, but a technology giant.
Their transformation and growth path is legendary.
What's even more outrageous is that they are still in the transformation period, allowing the original game business to maintain consistent high growth.
This is the most outrageous.
This is also the reason why Linmu Studio’s game competitors and players feel that they have become technology giants without knowing it.
Because it's really too fast.
Everything goes too fast.
It’s business as usual in the gaming business.
Then.
WeChat suddenly emerged and then became a monopoly.
Now, in many player communities, players are beginning to estimate Lin Yao's worth again...
They had a premonition.
Their spiritual wife.
This year’s ranking on the rich list will surprise everyone!
Investors are more concerned about what WeChat, an application with registered users exceeding 30 million and increasing by 100,000 every day, will bring to Linmu Studio.
Many investors even hope that Linmu Studio will raise funds separately...
Yes.
YouMei’s financing comes first.
Now investors are hoping that Linmu Studio will do it again.
You don't want us to interfere with the game.
OK.
Then other projects can be financed.
We are willing to invest money.
Even the new shareholders of You Media have this idea and even go to explore Zhang Youjie’s tone.
This made Zhang Youjie quite speechless.
As for Lin Mu Studio, Lin Yao certainly has no idea of financing.
A mobile phone is a mobile phone, and software is software.
These are two different things.
but.
Linmu Studio demonstrated to all investors what WeChat, an application with over 30 million registered users, will bring to Linmu Studio...
On this day at the end of August.
WeChat has undergone a minor version update.
Some bugs have been fixed, and the official news function has been officially added.
The so-called official news means pushing the hottest news to users every day.
When this function was launched, the news pushed on the first day were all news from official media.
But the next day.
In addition to pushing news from official media, Linmu Studio also promoted the multimedia project "Resident Evil" on the most conspicuous headlines...
Users just need to open WeChat.
You can see the information about "Resident Evil" on the news account.
【The whole world will be infected!】
[The first trailer of "Resident Evil" was revealed, Lu Xiu voices the heroine Rebecca.]
And click in.
You can directly see the trailer for the movie version of "Resident Evil" released by Linmu Studio.
In preview.
In addition to the footage released at the eSports Festival.
It also released the first scene of the train and the leading actor Billy Cohen.
The entire promotional video is full of suspense and horror.
Especially at the end.
The classic look back shot of Resident Evil is reproduced in the movie.
It left a deep impression on all the audience.
This is also the first time that Linmu Studio has announced its own work on WeChat.
The effect...
Explosive!
The main reason is that WeChat users open the software every day, and the official news function is very fresh.
Suddenly I saw the words 'The whole world will be infected'.
Then click in and see the exquisite CG images.
Click it again.
Another promotional video full of suspense and thriller...
No one will be impressed by this.
originally.
The multimedia project "Resident Evil" is only well-known among the player community.
After all, the debut was at an eSports festival.
but.
This announcement was made on WeChat.
Countless ordinary people also know it.
This made "Resident Evil", which was originally defined as a fan movie, instantly become a popular movie and a popular popular movie.
Because tens of millions of people.
Whether you want to watch the movie or not is another matter.
But at least.
They all know that a movie called "Resident Evil" will be released soon...
this moment.
The power of WeChat is fully demonstrated.
People who know a little bit about the inside story will take a breath when they calculate the savings in publicity and distribution costs for this movie...
certainly.
While amazed.
This also brought another topic to the forefront, that is - WeChat...is it suspected of being a monopoly?
It is clear.
Some people don't want to see a big killer like WeChat in the hands of Linmu Studio...
