On October 8, 2024, WeChat for HarmonyOS rolled out its invitation - only testing phase. Back then, numerous users criticized it, saying that its features were overly basic, its adaptations to the HarmonyOS environment were far from seamless, and some even went as far as to label it a mere “empty shell.”

Well, a full year has elapsed since then, and WeChat for HarmonyOS has undergone a total makeover. Throughout this past year, it has captured the public's attention with its almost “frenetic” pace of iteration. New versions have been released on a near - weekly basis, a testament to its relentless drive for improvement.
