As an application distribution platform owned by Tencent, Yongyingbao has a large number of users in China, but it has been constantly controversial in recent years. This article combines the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days, analyzes from multiple dimensions why users should use App Store with caution, and provides structured data support.
1. Privacy and security issues
Recent network security reports show that Yingyingbao has been repeatedly complained for excessive collection of user data. The following are the main issues exposed in the past 10 days:
| Question type | Specific performance | Exposure source | date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Background self-starting | Permanent in the background without authorization | A digital forum | 2023-11-15 |
| Obtaining sensitive permissions | Mandatory address book permissions | consumer association report | 2023-11-18 |
| Data upload | User behavior data is uploaded to Tencent servers | Technology Blog | 2023-11-20 |
2. Bundled software issues
A large number of users reported that when downloading the installation package through App Store, they would be forced to bundle other unrelated applications:
| Bundled app type | frequency of occurrence | Number of user complaints |
|---|---|---|
| Tencent products | 82% | Average daily 150+ |
| Third-party adware | 45% | Average daily 80+ |
| game accelerator | 33% | Average daily 60+ |
3. Version update lags behind
Compared with mainstream app stores, Yongyingbao’s version updates obviously lag behind:
| Application name | Official latest version | App treasure version | Lag days |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.0.40 | 8.0.38 | 12 | |
| Alipay | 10.3.86 | 10.3.80 | 18 |
| Tik Tok | 26.5.0 | 26.3.0 | 25 |
4. Recommendation of alternatives
Based on the above issues, it is recommended that users choose more reliable application acquisition channels:
1.official channels: Directly visit the official website of the application to download to ensure you get the latest genuine version.
2.Google Play: International version applications are usually more standardized (need to cooperate with network tools)
3.Open source platform: Open source app stores such as F-Droid have better privacy
4.Mobile phone manufacturer store: Huawei App Market, Xiaomi App Store, etc. are relatively standardized.
5. Real user feedback
Typical user reviews collected from social media in the past 10 days:
| platform | Summary of user reviews | Number of likes |
|---|---|---|
| "Installing a weather app actually bundles 3 games" | 2.3k | |
| Zhihu | "App treasure has more permission requirements than virus software" | 1.8k |
| Station B | "The measured download speed of App Store is 40% slower than the official website" | 3.5k |
Summarize:There are obvious flaws in App Store in terms of privacy protection, software purity and update timeliness. In today's era of paying attention to digital rights, users should give priority to more transparent and standardized application acquisition channels to avoid information security risks and reduced user experience caused by the use of problematic platforms. It is recommended that Tencent face up to these problems and conduct thorough rectifications on Yong Yongbao, otherwise more users will turn to other platforms.
