Development history of WeChat:

On November 19th, 21, the WeChat project was officially launched. The initial staff are basically from the QQ email team of Guangyan, and the developers have little experience in making mobile phone clients. The only mobile phone product they have done is "hand mail" on S6 platform.

on January 21st, 211, the iOS version of wechat 1. was launched. Wechat is a brand-new field for Guangyan, and many people are not optimistic about this project at first. From February to April, the growth of users is not fast (see Appendix 3 for the growth data of WeChat users), and all platforms add up to several thousand people every day. At this time, Mi Chat, which was launched one month before WeChat, has entered a stage of rapid growth in the number of users, and the media's attention is also higher than WeChat; However, the mobile Internet IM tool market presents a complex competition pattern due to the addition of products with similar functions such as Happy Flying Bean, Shanda You and Qihoo Message.

On August 3rd, 211, version 2.5 of WeChat was released, which supports viewing people nearby. This function enables users to view the avatars, nicknames, signatures and distances of nearby WeChat users, so as to facilitate further communication between users. This function makes WeChat move from communication between acquaintances to making friends between strangers.

On October 1st, 211, WeChat released version 3., which supports "shake" and drift bottles. Shaking allows users to find people who are shaking their phones together at the same time; The drift bottle inherits the concept of QQ mailbox drift bottle.

On December 2th, 211, WeChat released version 3.5. One of the most important functions is to add QR code, which is convenient for users to expand WeChat friends by scanning or publishing QR code business cards on other platforms.

on April 19, 212, the iOS version of wechat 4. was released, in which the function of "friends circle" attracted a lot of attention in the industry, and some commentators thought it was an attempt of wechat's "social platform".

then wechat started a unique development pattern.
