Since the release of pure-blooded Harmony NEXT, many netizens have been paying attention to its integration with WeChat, and recently, the latest developments of the WeChat pure-blood Harmony version have once again become the focus of the industry. It is understood that WeChat pure-blood Harmony version 1.0.1.34 has been launched in the early trial area of the Huawei App Store, adding personal business cards, location and other functions. What's even more striking is that Tencent WXG employee @kecunxiaojiang confirmed on Weibo that WeChat will be connected to the HarmonyOS NEXT system Call Kit call service, which supports convenient call answering functions. This update is not only a technical advancement, but also an important step in the user experience and ecosystem building.
Technology convergence and user experience
The access to the Call Kit service means that WeChat will be able to implement VoIP call management services, so that users can enjoy the same experience as system phones when receiving incoming calls. This feature is made possible by HarmonyOS NEXT's in-depth support for VoIP calling applications. Users don't need to unlock the device to answer WeChat voice calls, and the call logs will also be automatically saved in the system's call logs, making one-click callbacks a breeze.
Comprehensive coverage of the HarmonyOS ecosystem
At the Huawei Developer Conference 2024, it was announced that HarmonyOS native applications have entered a full-scale sprint stage, with all TOP 5000 applications launched, meeting 99.9% of users' usage time and covering 18 fields. WeChat, QQ, Alipay, Taobao, JD and other national apps have developed the original version of HarmonyOS, which marks the maturity and expansion of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. WeChat, as a giant of social communication, will undoubtedly further promote the development of the HarmonyOS ecosystem with the update of its pure-blooded HarmonyOS version.

Performance improvement and security assurance
HarmonyOS NEXT not only improves the performance of the entire device by 30%, increases battery life by about 56 minutes, and saves an average of 1.5 GB of running memory, but also comprehensively upgrades its security. The new SCDN security architecture prohibits unreasonable permissions, such as reading application lists, accessing text messages, etc., and introduces a secure access mechanism for seven high-frequency scenarios such as gallery, camera, and contacts. WeChat Harmony Edition will also benefit from these security features, providing users with a more secure communication environment.

From a market perspective, this update will further strengthen WeChat's position in the messaging app market, and also add weight to Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT system in the market competition.
