Hongmeng exempts WeChat from commission: Sources say Huawei is also wooing ByteDance, but Douyin is indifferent

News on June 20, according to domestic media reports, Huawei has also shown its sincerity in order to introduce Tencent apps such as WeChat to Hongmeng.

The report mentioned that Huawei is about to reach an agreement with Tencent to allow the latter’s super app WeChat to run on its Hongmeng operating system without charging in-app revenue sharing.

According to sources, Huawei will agree not to charge any fees for in-app transactions in WeChat.

In exchange, Tencent will continue to maintain and update the WeChat application. But there is no formal agreement between the two companies requiring Tencent to regularly update the app.

This agreement will not have any obvious impact on mobile phone users. Currently, users can download and use WeChat on Huawei mobile phones.

Informed sources also revealed that Huawei has also contacted ByteDance’s Douyin in an attempt to discuss revenue sharing, but ByteDance has not shown interest in negotiations.

We previously reported that Huawei is considering charging a 20% commission on the Hongmeng App Store, which is far lower than Google and Apple.

Huawei has so far not charged commissions on non-game app in-app purchases in the Hongmeng App Store.

For comparison, Apple and Google charge a 30% commission for apps, games, movies or music subscriptions purchased through their app stores.
