Vivo NEX "part-time" rogue evaluator, why do domestic apps always provoke public anger?

- Once the Vivo NEX series mobile phone was launched, it was sought after, and it has become the "light of domestic mobile phones". Consumers are always relishing the exaggerated screen ratio of the vivo NEX, the practically enhanced screen fingerprinting function, and the more cool lift-type front-facing camera, which is in no way inferior to any mobile phone on the market.
Once the Vivo NEX series mobile phone was launched, it was sought after, and it has become the "light of domestic mobile phones". Consumers are always relishing the exaggerated screen ratio of the vivo NEX, the practically enhanced screen fingerprinting function, and the more cool lift-type front-facing camera, which is in no way inferior to any mobile phone on the market.
However, people did not expect that recently, some netizens found that vivo NEX actually has a "hidden attribute", that is, it can be avatar app identiator, at a glance, which apps are identified as rogue behavior.
For example, when some apps are installed on the vivo NEX and launched, the front camera of the vivo NEX will automatically rise, apparently the app calls the front camera without the user's consent. Then there were more and more similar news, and the bad behavior of rogue software was inadvertently invisible by vivo NEX.
In fact, before the birth of vivo NEX, the software has been "flowing" for a while, and today is caught, the vivo NEX is just acting as a "mirror mirror." Speaking of these rogue software in China, I believe that Chinese consumers will definitely gnash their teeth.
Calling the camera, secretly recording? It’s already strange.
Overseas famous instant messaging software Telegram secretly calls the camera, a domestic mobile phone browser has similar problems, some input method secretly records in the background... With the time when the vivo NEX is listed, the more exposed these problems are The more you come. In fact, long before the birth of vivo NEX, there have been consumers complaining that the domestic software is too rogue, and the network is also a complaint.
Not only is it secretly calling the components inside the phone, but the flow of these softwares is even more ridiculous. For example, in the background self-starting, using mutual wake-up to improve the background resilience rate, on the surface is to exit the software, but actually resides in the background. Most of China's domestic software, such as the stalker of the cowhide type, is the hooliganism.
What is even more frightening is that the one that is now exposed is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Although a browser in China has issued an announcement to clarify the relationship at the first time, we know that things may not be as simple as that. In addition to calling the camera and secretly recording, some software will also call the phone, SMS permissions in the background, secretly send text messages or something, so that people can't prevent it.
In other words, Chinese consumers have been plagued by these rogue software for many years.
In the final analysis, the reason is the lack of management.
In China, these softwares are so crazy, so arrogant, so abroad? In fact, although they are the same kind of software, the demand for permissions between them is very different. For example, a short video software that is mainstream in China has a total of 68 permissions, and the same type of overseas software Tumblr only needs to request a total of 4 permissions.
I would like to ask a short video software, is it necessary to request so many permissions? What is even more speechless is that although on Android 8.0 system, the software needs to ask in advance when requesting permission, but if you do not grant permission, then the software will Not working properly, very rogue.
On the contrary, the iOS camp is different. The software is like a son. The right to give permission to the user, you are willing to give it, don't give it; even if you choose not to grant permission to the software, the software still has to work, at most part Limited functionality.
This comparison shows that the global software ecosystem can be divided into three categories, namely “iOS Ecology”, “Overseas Android Ecology” and “Domestic Android Ecology”, while the domestic Android ecosystem has the worst environment.
The reason behind this is still because of the lack of supervision. As the most formal app store in the Android camp, the Google Play Store can't work in China for some undescribed reasons. Therefore, if the domestic software source is not downloaded from the official website, it will be turned to the third-party app store.
The Google App Store has very strict requirements for the application, which basically eliminates the abuse of the app. If we can download the software from the Google Store, then the quality of the software will be greatly improved, at least the abuse of rights can be well contained.
Even though the official app store of the mobile phone brand has been built into our smartphone, there is no uniform application screening standard and the management is inconsistent, so there is no way to restrict the rogue software. The lack of uniform management and review standards, and there are no clear rules to limit software requests for authority, is one of the main reasons for domestic ecological confusion.
Is improving, but not very optimistic
Of course, the regulators headed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology cannot know the facts of the current ecological chaos, and they have indeed thought of some methods.
For example, last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology led the establishment of the "Unified Push Alliance", intending to take the lead in solving the confusion of the Android application push system, intended to create an Android software push ecosystem comparable to iOS. But to be honest, now that time has come to the middle of 2018, this push alliance still has no real progress, most of the software has gone its own way, with each push mode, the chaos continues.
There is not much overlap between push and rights management. If you want to manage the problem of software abuse, you need more trusted solutions and more powerful regulatory documents. However, subject to the interests of their respective mobile phone manufacturers and software developers, it is unlikely that a "Chinese-style" official application market will be formed.
In general, the current chaos in the Android application ecosystem in China is caused by a number of factors. Even Xiaolei has heard of the "application request permission to increase the retention rate is the developer's KPI requirements for developers" This kind of statement, and the openness of the Android system itself, I am afraid to carry a pot.
If you are using an Android smartphone in China, be prepared to be harassed. If you don't want to use a replacement product, you can only go left and turn to iOS.
