Before starting, let me ask you a question.
If you are an Alipay user, if WeChat Pay and Alipay are not bound to the same bank card, how should you transfer money to WeChat users?
According to the traditional steps, you can only transfer money to the bank card first, then to WeChat, bind the bank card, and transfer money from the bank card to WeChat, which is very troublesome.
and even when I need to transfer money to my WeChat friends, I will directly ask for the other party’s Alipay account. The gap between App and App is just like the person I like, it is fully reflected at this moment, and the distance cannot be shortened by money.
So, when I saw the hot search for Alipay that can transfer money to WeChat, I was a little excited that the function that should come finally came.
Bi Tanjun also experienced this function as soon as possible. How to say it? The bigger the expectations, the more you want to complain.
On the Alipay homepage, click on transfer and you can see the function of transferring to WeChat friend , but it is a bit hard to describe when used. When
transfers money to WeChat friends, a QR code will be generated. When WeChat friends scan the code, they can collect the amount. If no one collects it for more than 24 hours, the transfer amount will be automatically returned.
also provides three ways to collect: can be collected when scanning the code, and when collecting, the other party needs to verify my first name and the designated user to collect.
At this point, you can also see the problem. is different from what we imagined that you can transfer money to WeChat friends directly. It requires scanning the code , and this is not the biggest problem.
Before this, you need to save the generated QR code picture to the album, and then send the picture from the album to WeChat friends. In the end, you cannot scan it directly on WeChat. WeChat friends need to scan the QR code in Alipay to finally succeed in transferring the money.
To summarize the steps, that is, goes from Alipay to WeChat, and finally returns to Alipay . Then I directly ask for the other party’s Alipay account, isn’t it faster than you?
The reality is that sometimes the other party does not have Alipay yet, which is not uncommon among older groups.
Because of the popularity of WeChat, many middle-aged and elderly groups often start with mobile payment for the first time, and they often start with WeChat payment. In addition to being able to seize users of WeChat payment in , Bitanjun can't think of any use.
It seems that WeChat Pay and Alipay have been connected, but in fact they are still kings.
This is not a problem that only WeChat Pay and Alipay have. In the mobile Internet era, the major apps of are often not interconnected for traffic.
This problem is even more serious when facing different operating systems.
For example, when switching from Android to iOS, the game data cannot be synchronized. On the Windows platform, there is not even this game. The seemingly shared Internet seems to be like a "small country but few people".
This reminds Bi Tanjun of the Internet in the "web page" era.
At that time, a browser could travel the world, chat with QQ, watch videos from major websites, open as you like, close if you don’t want to use it, and there is no restriction on the operating system, which is not as good as you need to download various apps such as iQiyi, Tencent video, Youku and other apps.
It seems that "web pages" are the most advanced Internet product. The Internet of Things that has always been emphasized now has long been played by the web page era.
Unfortunately, the current web version has been castrated. Reading an article on the web page or even a few hundred words of information requires you to click to download the APP to watch the full text.
and that well-known search also pops up a pop-up window from time to time to let you download the App, which is really annoying.
In the era of mobile Internet, Apps replaced web pages, which may be the result of technological progress in the times. For example, Apps have more functions and can be optimized for different operating systems and devices, but this has led to Apps becoming information islands.
Sometimes Bi Tanjun is thinking that or technology may not only have a substitute relationship, but also a parallel relationship . Just like the emergence of new energy 1 does not mean the disappearance of fossil energy, they are a complementary relationship.
Perhaps, web pages can continue to survive, at least, the concept of "interconnection" of web pages should not be forgotten.
hope that one day, whether it is WeChat Pay or Alipay, I will transfer the money to whoever I want, and no longer be subject to restrictions between apps.
