5G messaging app was removed from shelves just one day after launch

The 5G Message App was removed from the shelves just one day after its launch. China Mobile responded today: Because some terminals currently do not support the 5G message function, China Mobile has developed the "5G Message" APP, which allows developers to experience the real message interaction service after completing the Chatbot (intelligent chat robot (13.490, -0.04, -0.30%)) application development, attracting a large number of developers to actively participate in the construction of the 5G message cooperation ecosystem. It is not a product released for commercial use by customers.

China Mobile said that due to the joint release of the 5G message white paper by the three operators in the early stage, which aroused high public attention, in order to protect the name of "5G message" from being maliciously occupied, China Mobile recently launched it on the application market. Due to some technical problems, the APP is currently temporarily offline and will be back online later.

According to the App introduction, the 5G Message App is a communication and service software created by China Mobile based on the international RCS standard. It supports sending rich messages such as text, pictures, audio and video, and geographic location. It can also interact with merchants' chat robots to obtain 7*24 hours of intelligent services.

After installation, the 5G Message App will suggest setting it as the default SMS app, and you need to check multiple permissions such as phone, contacts, storage, etc. China Mobile will also send users a text message to subscribe to the new messaging app related services (with a fee of 0 yuan).

According to the "5G Message White Paper" released by the three major operators, 5G message applications do not actually require users to install an app separately. In response, China Mobile responded that because some terminals do not currently support 5G message functions, China Mobile has developed a 5G message app that allows developers to experience real message interaction services after completing Chatbot (intelligent chat robot) application development, attracting a large number of developers to actively participate in the construction of a cooperative ecosystem for 5G messages, and it is not a product released for commercial use by customers.

In the past few years, the communication and discussion between operators and Apple has been ongoing. Currently, the practice of installing the App experience can help Apple and Apple mobile phone users experience and use 5G messages. It is believed that in the near future, 5G messages will become standard for all smartphones, providing consumers with reliable, zero-threshold and easy-to-use information services.
