It should be created as a kind of public service paid for by us as taxpayers. That means you could get rid of a ton of other, foreign owned apps. There should also be a desktop version so you can sync between platforms.

I don't understand. What is the advantage of having to one an app to access your apps, instead of having this apps directly on your phone? I mean sure the mini programs install faster, but I don't see why Andoid/ios couldn't be just as simple. There is no technical reason to have apps inside an app.
@TaitLawton2 жыл бұрын
Sometimes it's more convenient. It's hard to describe, but WeChat has a different feel to it. It kind-of guides you to be a more focused person while using it. But there are way too many restaurant mini-apps, and they can be annoying. I still use like 8 chat apps besides WeChat though, but most Chinese people will be like "nah, no way I need another chat app."
