Chapter 208

Wechat's overseas English name is wechat. In order to enhance recognition, software names in other languages basically use this name, but other words in the software are translated into local languages.

Just like Facebook, whether in Europe, America or other non English speaking countries, it uses the name Facebook to improve the recognition of software. No matter how poor English is, most people can basically remember one or two English words.

WeChat, the first beta, has been registered in 36 countries and 12 different languages in the world, and no Chinese mainland.

Apple did not enter China. Google was investigated and rectified because of its involvement in pornography at the beginning of this month. Android Market has not yet entered China, which also doomed it to be difficult to enter again in the future. According to the plan, the domestic version of wechat will be put on the shelves after Apple enters China in October. Android will rely on 91 assistants and the built-in app stores of various manufacturers for distribution.

At 13:00 p.m. on the 15th, the overseas version of wechat logged into appstores and Android markets in many countries and regions for an hour. During this hour, Fang zhe has been staying in the sea, discussing with Zhou Feng and others about wechat's global operation, looking forward to player feedback and other news.

However, because there is no promotion, all downloads and additions rely on natural quantities. Now in many western countries, it is midnight. Although an hour has passed, the total number of registrations in all countries and regions in the world is only over 100.

In Tokyo, Japan, Zhizi, a female employee of Japan life insurance company, took advantage of the noon break to send text messages to chat with his boyfriend. He has been dating with his boyfriend for more than four months, which is the honeymoon period. The two people call and send text messages all day, hoping to stick together every day.

Although the relationship developed smoothly, there was one thing that bothered Zhizi very much, that is, the high telephone charges. Both of them were college students who had just graduated for less than a year. They didn't have much savings, and their wages were not high. In her insurance industry, she worked very frequently in SMS and telephone business, even if the company had a certain amount of reimbursement system, She still has to pay a lot of money to recharge her phone every month.

Although there is free chat software on the computer, it is of no use to people like Zhizi who often run business outside. The mobile phone she uses now is the iPhone 3G she bought after joining the insurance company last year on the recommendation of her colleagues.

Because she signed a purchase contract with the operator Softbank, the mobile phone is only in the early 20000 yen, equivalent to less than 1500 yuan. Although the monthly rent package is high, it is just suitable for her industry. The company's telephone subsidy can offset most of the monthly rent.

Since dating her boyfriend, she has always hoped to find a software on the app store that can directly chat with her boyfriend with traffic. Her monthly rent package has a lot of free traffic, but it's useless for her who doesn't play games and doesn't have time to chase dramas.

In recent months, she has also found several chat software, but without exception, these chat software only support iPhone system, while his boyfriend uses Android phone. Until today, his boyfriend sent her a new text message:

"Zhizi, I found a chat software called wechat on the Android Market, which supports Japanese. I found that it also supports iPhone. You have time to download it and have a look. If you can, let's chat with this software in the future!"

At this time, Zhizi was sitting in a fast food restaurant having lunch. Seeing the text message sent by her boyfriend, she clicked the app store and searched "wechat". Not surprisingly, this software seems to support chat between iPhone system and Android system, and it is still in Japanese, which is much better than the chat software she found on the app store before.

Looking at the size of the software, 8m, this package is too small. Compared with the package size of 20 or 30 m that other software can't move, it just saves traffic. Of course, Zhizi doesn't care much about this. Her mobile phone package has 300m free traffic every month. She has been worried about having no place to spend, so she directly clicked to download. Under the 3G network, the software was downloaded in less than a minute okay.

Zhizi opened the green chat software icon and entered the registration page for the first time. Zhizi found that this software is different from the troublesome chat software such as registering accounts with email or a long series of complex digital accounts. This software supports direct registration of mobile phone numbers, which is a great blessing for Zhizi who has serious difficulties in recording all kinds of accounts.

Without much hesitation, Zhizi entered her mobile phone number and clicked the send verification code button. After a few seconds, she filled in the verification code received by her mobile phone SMS, and the registration was completed. It was simple and convenient. This was the first impression left by this software to Zhizi.

After entering the software, several permission problems such as accessing the mobile phone address book pop up on the interface. Zhizi, who has always been an insurance, has raised his vigilance. Although Japan is a society with very high integrity, things such as telecommunications fraud and stealing private data in Japan also happen from time to time.

She was not at ease with the fact that a lot of customer information was stored in her mobile phone address book, so she directly chose to refuse. Therefore, both the chat interface and the address book interface she entered later were very clean. There was no other information except the welcome information sent to her by an official account and the privacy agreement user manual.

Zhizi is thinking of sending a text message to his boyfriend to tell him that his account is his mobile phone number and let him add his friends. Who wants to add his friends? On this newly registered chat software, a small red circle unread 1 message prompt appears directly in the upper right corner of the address book button. Zhizi clicked and looked at it. He was surprised to find that her boyfriend applied to add his friends!

The reason why Zhizi is very sure that this person is his boyfriend is because the head picture of the person who applied to add her friend is the photo of her boyfriend. The remarks of the application information also indicate the name of his boyfriend. The addition method is to find it through the mobile phone address book.

This is Zhizi's first encounter with this chat software. She even found a friend who used the same chat software directly from the address book. Obviously, although she didn't have the permission to open the address book, her hearty boyfriend opened it. With such doubts, Zhizi called her boyfriend and asked about it in detail.

After the two chatted, Zhizi's doubts at the bottom of his heart relaxed a lot. His boyfriend works in it and knows more about these than she can. Since he said there was no problem, there should be no problem!

Through the friend application, the two people began to chat with the chat software. From text to expression to picture, this chat software seems to support very well. In particular, many interesting Emoji expressions are loved by Zhizi. It is not only compatible with the emoticons supported by various operators in Japan, but also adds many new expressions, This makes her chat and interaction with her boyfriend much stronger than the dry text messages with only words in the past.

"Ah, it's almost 3 o'clock! It's over. I'll be late to see the customer this afternoon. I won't say it first. I'll talk later! [kiss]" Zhizi replied to his boyfriend, so he quickly put his mobile phone in his pocket and ran out of the fast food restaurant.

Another it boyfriend of Zhizi is even more happy. He found that he has loved this chat software. The traffic he spent chatting with Zhizi for so long is the same as the price of the previous three text messages. Moreover, this chat software also supports such rich expressions. When he saw Zhizi's last [kiss] expression, In his mind, it seems that Zhizi is selling cute and coquettish in front of him. Kawaii!
