WeChat input method is under development Zhang Xiaolong: We will never analyze user chat records

On January 19, with the theme of "Inspiring WeBuild", the 2021 WeChat Open Course PRO officially started in Guangzhou. Last night, WeChat founder Zhang Xiaolong delivered a speech entitled "Ten Years of Product Thinking on WeChat".

During his speech, Zhang Xiaolong revealed a lot of "explosive news". He mentioned that the WeChat team is developing an input method and will do better.

Zhang Xiaolong revealed that he often receives complaints that they saw ads for something they just talked about on WeChat on other apps, and wondered if WeChat was selling their chat records to advertisers.

“No, actually. We never analyze users’ chat records, even if it means losing a lot of advertising revenue.”

Zhang Xiaolong said: "So when our technical team, the machine semantic understanding team, said that we might do a better job of making our own input method, I certainly agreed. Because at least, in terms of security, we can do well enough ."

He emphasized that the goal of WeChat input method is not to gain a large number of users at once. Because input method is the entrance to text expression, and input method will inevitably become more and more intelligent, and new input forms may appear, so it is still worth investing in it.

Zhang Xiaolong also shared a set of data, every day -

1.09 billion users opened WeChat and 330 million users made video calls;

780 million users have entered Moments, and 120 million users have posted Moments;

There are 360 ​​million users who read public account articles and 400 million users who use mini programs;

Zhang Xiaolong said there are many more, including WeChat Pay, WeChat for Business, WeChat Reading, Search, etc., which I will not mention one by one. For example, WeChat Pay, just like your previous wallet, has become a daily necessity. And WeChat has really become "a lifestyle".
