WeChat finally took action against primary school students

Is a children's version of WeChat coming? Recently, this incident has attracted attention.

According to a reporter from Southern +, WeChat is currently developing a children's version of WeChat. At the same time, information shows that Tencent has applied for the "WeChat Children's Edition" trademark in August this year.

@国是直通车 also disclosed: Tianyancha data showed that recently, Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. added a number of trademark information, including multiple "WeChat Children's Edition" and "WEIXIN FOR KIDS" trademarks, and the trademark status was all displayed as "trademark application in progress".

The international categories involved include educational entertainment, scientific instruments, website services, etc.

According to Tencent's second quarter financial report, the combined monthly active users of WeChat and Wechat increased to 1.206 billion in the second quarter. Among the large number of users, there are a large number of underage users. How to enable minors to use WeChat more "healthily" has become the focus of attention from all walks of life.

Arousing heated discussion

So netizens are curious about what the children’s version is?

A little expectation

• @PervCat: Isn't it the children's version now?
• @ZRTCC: I want to use it, it should be simpler and have fewer ads
• @罗斯布雷斯夫天空: Please cut off all ways for children to come into contact with strangers and preserve the innocent world!
• @movo枫树: Start from the baby stage... But it's quite creative, I'm looking forward to it.
• @CHUNGUANG-: I think I will still use it, it can reduce the time of playing
• @白日梦-kiki: Come quickly!! The children's version cannot register online games or bind credit cards for consumption
• @北紧北紧: The children's version will cancel the mini-programs, games, micro-videos and public accounts

Is it trying to grab a piece of the smartphone market?

• @TotatoPomato: Is it going to compete with BBK Little Genius watch?
• @康康_17: Xiaotiancai Phone Watch: I am offended

But, will it be all targeted advertising?

• APRIL-Siyue: But they are all children's advertisements
• MS_Lois: I will recommend you the Little Talent phone watch and overseas summer camp
• Miao Da Ren app: You can do targeted advertising now, all of which are children's products and training courses

Will the version change with age?

• arch45: What happens when you grow up? Can you upgrade to an adult version?

Many people also asked

Can't you arrange a version for the elderly?

• @·桔蓝浅忆·: By the way, let's research an old-age version, which seems to be more practical?
• @旺仔小添饼: If that's the case, why not also release an elderly version?
• @黄小泉: Why do we need to make a children's version to encourage children to play with their phones more? It would be better to study the elderly version instead of spending time and energy on it.
