Just imagine if all of your apps, were just one app. Imagine a world in your phone is decluttered and you don’t have to use the search to find your banking app or your Instagram app. A world where you can send money, make purchases, browse web content, order a taxi, and even have food delivered. All in one app.
Is your morning routine the same as mine? Hit snooze 5 times and then even when you know you are late for work you open up your Instagram, then you close that and open Facebook, then you close that and open your email, then you close that and text your one friend back your completely forgot to respond to last night… and then you finally find the energy to emerge from your bed and into the shower. Oh you don’t do that? Me neither…I was just kidding…not.
Well, if you are wondering where I am going with this, there is an app that contains almost everything you need and more so that you don’t need to continuously download any more applications onto your phone that you are already spending too much money on for extra data storage.
Weixin is a social media app that has found its way into the every person’s daily routine in China. Through understanding the needs of mobile device users, this company took steps to resolve the issues they were having, which was the need to downsize and organize the number of apps they used on a day-to-day basis.

In June 2022, Weixin had approximately 1.3 billion monthly active users in China.

How did Weixin become so successful you ask? Weixin played off of consumers need for control and routine. The company integrated itself into the lives of users by making it convenient and easily accessible for mobile users. Using this app is part of their daily habits. Weixin accomplished this by understanding its users motivations and satisfying their needs and wants.
