Students who follow Qiguoshang should know that the Tencent , which has been closed this year, has successively closed many familiar businesses.
includes Penguin Esports , Tencent Highlights, WeGame on your hand, Adventure Island 2, War Thunder, QQ Hall, etc.
Every time, news of a software or business being shut down in Tencent will be exposed.
Regarding articles similar to Tencent closing various businesses, Student Guo thought about it carefully and wrote about (water).
Recently, another old software was cut by Tencent.
On October 12, Tencent Map's official website announced that Tencent Map's PC will be stopped on November 11, and mobile users can download the Tencent Map App to use.
This means that after canceling the web version, the computer will not be able to view the address sent by others.
It is worth mentioning that Tencent's move to cut off Tencent maps on the PC has actually been clues.
In May this year, some users found that when using the PC to open the location posted by others, they were asked to use the mobile app to open it.
is also the same in May, the Sogou map acquired by Tencent was offline, and the Sogou map official website jumped to the Tencent map page.
These actions indicate that Tencent has begun to shrink its front line in terms of map business.
After 5 months, this PC map that has been operating for 9 years has indeed been announced to be offline.
The reason is naturally that there are fewer and fewer users. It is not surprising that it is cut off according to the principle of "cutting wherever you don't make money".
In addition, although it was cut, it was not cut completely, and the mobile app can still be used normally.
Although Tencent has always been rich and willing to spend money, it is not something that can succeed by doing.
For example, in the field of short videos, Weish has not yet splashed at all after being pushed by Tencent for a few years, and it can be said that it has failed completely.
naturally has never done a certain degree or a certain degree of des.
In 2018, Tencent Maps also accounted for 15% of the mobile map industry market.
But with the development of time, the market has almost completely divided.
According to the latest data, Tencent Map still ranks third in the ranking of active users of navigation apps.
However, when you look at the monthly active users, they are one order of magnitude different from the top two, and the difference is not a little bit.
Relying on the powerful WeChat and QQ user base, Tencent Map has not been able to do it. Once again, many things are not enough to spend money.
Now the PC side has stopped service, but I don’t know how the mobile side will develop in the future. In the opinion of Guo, it is unlikely that Tencent will completely abandon its map business. After all, for an Internet manufacturer, maps are considered infrastructure services. All businesses require map assistance, and it is not something that can be cut off without making money. With the impact of the epidemic and the economy, major Internet manufacturers are "breaking their arms to survive" this year, constantly shrinking their front lines. can only say that life is getting harder and harder. The question is here. Which business do you think will be the next time Tencent stops the service? See the comment section of .
