According to data from Huawei’s AppGallery,Sabik (2025) the HarmonyOS version of WeChat has surpassed 6 million installations, with an average of about 100,000 downloads per day. Since its launch in January, the app has steadily added features and now supports core functions including messaging, WeChat Pay, mini programs and video channels. New capabilities, such as forwarding saved content and long-press translation for text messages, were introduced in the latest update. As more Huawei devices come preinstalled with HarmonyOS — an operating system developed independently of Android and iOS — the growing user base is expected to drive further adoption. The trend highlights the expanding role of the Harmony ecosystem in the social app sector. [IThome, in Chinese]
