On the day when WeChat celebrated the "10th birthday", Xiaomi's Mi Chat announced that it would completely withdraw from the stage of history and shut down the server.
On January 19, 2021, in the annual WeChat Open Class, the WeChat team brought to everyone the latest product developments in WeChat ecological services such as WeChat Mini Programs, Enterprise WeChat, WeChat Payment, and Mini Games. It can be said that WeChat has delivered a proud report card to users for ten years.
But as Michao, which was launched earlier than WeChat, this once star project of Xiaomi has now ended sadly. When Mi Talk released the first version, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun predicted: "If Tencent enters this field, the probability of Mi Talk will be greatly reduced." At that time, three teams within Tencent were quietly developing mobile IM projects, not to mention Said, there is also the largest chat tool QQ internally. Sure enough, due to the launch of WeChat, Tencent used its huge QQ user base to directly communicate with WeChat, which resulted in Michao's final defeat and was abandoned by users.
According to the official announcement issued by Michao, the service of Michao will be stopped at 12:00 on February 19, 2021. The announcement shows that users are requested to export their chat history and personal information before stopping the service (Android v8.8.70 and The above version supports batch export). After the service is stopped, any information of the user in Michao will not be exported.
The following is the official announcement:
