One fact that everyone in the Internet industry knows is that the field of instant messaging applications is a "winner-winning" market, because such applications have a strong social network effect, that is, users will invite friends and family to use a certain application together.

So, to be fair, in an unpredictable market like instant messaging, companies that adopt conservative development strategies are generally very risky, and whats is not without criticism, criticized by some people as being too simple, lacking innovation, and not paying attention to trends or something.

After all, with the popularity of smartphones, almost all software can receive and send messages and emails at the moment, but in the view of Vatzip and Andy, the real challenge lies in how to achieve more functions without making the product more complex.

Some users have also asked Vatipu to launch a desktop version and username login system, but software engineers from Andy to Vatipu have always focused on the practicality, ease of use and service quality of applications.

Moreover, every time whats launches new features, it will definitely be discussed internally and simplified to the greatest extent. And this situation is also officially done intentionally. According to Poker's theorem, the best idea and the best decision can only be born in the debate.

“I’m not sure exactly what the real value of withdrawing messages and burning after reading is. Yes, teenagers may love this feature, but I don’t care at all. I’m 42 years old and I don’t look for *** through these services, but I’ll send my wife a 'I love you' in an instant message, and she’ll send me photos of our children because these are memories.

I can understand the withdrawal of the message, because I am worried that if I send the wrong message, I can save it. When I am not sure whether the behavior of burning after reading can bring intimate relationships to users, perhaps this is a very trendy trend. However, we also have romantic stories such as people who have experienced the test of long-distance relationships and finally entered the marriage hall, and the entire story process has been recorded, which is something that cannot be done after reading. It should be pointed out that people like to reminisce about chat records because this is a permanent witness to the relationship between the two parties!”

In the conference room, Acton, the chief software architecture engineer, frowned and looked around the people in the conference room for a week, then his eyes were on the face of the big boss who proposed the new function, and put forward his own opinions and doubts.

"What you said is a permanent witness, and it is also a reason why the official intelligence agencies are very interested in these chat records of our users, and this is precisely the main reason why the US government requires us to provide server access!"

ceo Brian smiled and looked at Acton with a sharp look, and said helplessly in his tone.

"Damn it, let them go to hell!" Acton cursed a little angry when he heard it. They undoubtedly value the protection of user privacy data, because everyone knows that once cooperation with intelligence agencies is exposed, it will undoubtedly be a destructive blow to the company.

"Let them die of this heart. You must never agree to provide them with server access. Doing so will ruin everything for us!"

"Yes, I absolutely cannot agree!"

The executives in the conference room were immediately infuriated. It seemed that everyone had reached an astonishing agreement on this issue. However, everyone present also knew that the reason why they dared to clamor like this was undoubtedly because their boss endorsed it. If the government really had to, the little arms and legs could not be twisted by the power of the American government.

"Haha, why are you looking at me?" Andy looked at his subordinates with a smile, and couldn't help but stop the sign pen that turned on his fingers. After asking, he turned to look at Ceo Bryan and said, "I know you are having a headache about this. My attitude is that only under the legal requirements can you submit relevant data to them.

We will not actively share any personal information with government reports partners. We will not allow US government departments to directly enter our servers or use them to enter our data centers. Everything is subject to law!"

"Okay boss, I know how to restore them." Ceo Brian also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really worried that his boss would be striking the news department. Although the boss was not afraid of offending these guys, he was fighting against the US government after all, and it was inevitable to wear small shoes. Not to mention that they were a new company, even the nine companies including Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, "Facebook" youtube and Apple are open to those people to collect information.

Andy naturally would not be stupid to go against the US government. After all, this kind of thing is a secret published in the IT industry. Most large IT companies will choose to cooperate with them. In return, these company leaders will be able to obtain information from the qing newspaper department and understand the current focus of the qing newspaper department.

In other cases, for information security threats that may be detrimental to performance, the partner companies will receive quick warnings to get aware of serious Internet attacks early and who is behind the scenes.

The most typical example that Andy learned was that Google was once hacked. Sergey Brin obtained highly confidential relevant information from the U.S. Qing Agency, thus knowing the source of the attack. At that time, Brin obtained temporary confidential intelligence authorization to understand the relevant situation.

"Look, so it's still very useful to burn it after reading it." Andy said with a relaxed tone and smiled to everyone in the conference room.

"hehe."

"Don't joke with the boss, the backend data will still be saved unless we really use data self-destruct technology."

"Yes, I also think that burning after reading is just a gimmick to bluff people, but the information can be withdrawn, but it can be added after the next version update. Sometimes it is really a terrifying thing to send the wrong message..."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter. It seemed that everyone present had similar experiences. Andy shook his head and laughed, thinking quickly. He was a little mentally prepared for everyone's objection to the function of burning after reading. After all, although this function is very good, it is really not suitable for Vatzip, which wants to become an instant messaging software with a high popularity rate. This function can be more favored by young people, which is certain.

However, Andy didn't want to make Vatzip into a magic tool for X. If it really doesn't work, he started a new company with this idea and set up a new company to raise funds and make money...

"Since that's the case, then withdraw the information for one-minute as the main function service for the next version upgrade. It will be burned and put on hold after reading it. However, it must be kept confidential." Andy's smile disappeared and he said with a serious expression. Although everyone had signed a confidentiality agreement, he still wanted to reiterate it and let everyone pay attention. He did not want this creativity to leak out. Even if this technology has been registered, after all, there are too many smart people in the world, and maybe someone will use it to invent new technologies such as flash images and flash images.

"By the way, are there any new advances in video calling technology?"

"Progress is slow, boss, Internet video calls are the most restrictive and harsh among various Internet video applications, and are also a kind of Internet video application with greater difficulty in realizing it.

Since video calls are concentrated on mobile terminals, this requires the system's computing complexity to be as low as possible, which is a little easier to solve.

However, video calls are highly real-time applications, which determines that video data is generally unreliable to be transmitted, which requires video transmission to have certain anti-crash and crash resistance, that is, robust, such as anti-packet loss characteristics. In addition, due to the lack of a buffering mechanism, the video transmission bit rate should be as stable as possible. This cannot be solved by ourselves, and external hardware is also required.

Also, users need to use it under 3g mobile networks, and people are more sensitive to traffic, so video calls bandwidth usage should be as low as possible.

In addition, for example, the network conditions and device performance of users are hugely different, so WeChat video calls need to adapt to different networks and devices. User version updates have a certain period of time, and the compatibility of new technologies for the old version needs to be considered. In addition, the bandwidth cost pressure caused by massive concurrent users to the server side must also be considered.

To sum up, it is the difficulty and difficulties faced by the video call function now. That is, the video call function can be made within one or two years in the short term, but the effect will not be very good!”
