HarmonyOS Native Ecosystem Upgrades: Meta-Services Accelerate Development, Future is Bright

On the evening of October 22nd, Huawei announced the official release of HarmonyOS NEXT at the "HarmonyOS Native Night & Huawei Full-Scenario New Product Launch Event," unveiling new developments in the native HarmonyOS ecosystem, with a particular focus on the growth of HarmonyOS Meta-services. As of today, the number of Meta-services listed on HarmonyOS NEXT has significantly increased compared to the Huawei Developer Conference in June, with a wider range of scenarios, encompassing bill payments, healthcare, travel, utility tools and more, covering all aspects of consumers' daily lives.

As a lightweight program form within HarmonyOS NEXT, Meta-services offer a unique advantage, delivering a completely new user experience. Users can access services via Meta-services without needing to download an app, utilizing a "click-to-use" approach and one-click login through their Huawei account, saving significant phone storage space and simplifying the process. For instance, in the daily travel and refueling scenarios, users' frequency of use is relatively low, and downloaded apps often take up a significant chunk of phone memory. Now, by selecting the "Discount Fueling" Meta-service, users can access it directly when needed, without worrying about storage space, making service access more flexible and efficient.

It's worth mentioning that HarmonyOS Meta-services allow consumers to launch them through the negative one-screen, search, and Xiaoyi entrances, enjoying a pure service experience without any intrusive pop-up advertisements. Moreover, HarmonyOS NEXT's app market also features a dedicated "Meta-services" tab, providing users with a more convenient way to explore a wider selection of listed Meta-services. Additionally, Meta-services like "Lightweight Fish" and "Time Tracking" offer users a convenient and stress-relieving service experience, adding a touch of fun.

Developing HarmonyOS Meta-services has become a trend across various industries. Beyond domestic partners, numerous overseas companies are accelerating their Meta-service development, collaborating with HarmonyOS to further expand user scenarios, ensuring users can enjoy convenient services even abroad. With the participation of leading domestic enterprises in various industries, such as China Mobile, China Southern Airlines, Southeast Asia's renowned travel app Grab, Hong Kong's restaurant review and dining platform OpenRice, and Emirates Airlines, a renowned overseas partner, Meta-service development is expected to accelerate, bringing consumers more convenient and worry-free service experiences.

The emergence of Meta-services not only provides users with a more convenient and efficient service experience but also offers developers new opportunities. Developers can leverage the lightweight nature of Meta-services to rapidly develop and release applications, reaching a broader user base at a lower cost. Meta-services also provide developers with richer scenarios and more diverse business models, helping them create more valuable services.

As the HarmonyOS NEXT ecosystem continues to evolve, Meta-services will steadily grow and flourish, delivering more diverse, convenient, and intelligent service experiences for users and creating more opportunities for developers to collectively build a thriving ecosystem, shaping a better digital life for everyone.
