Popular content aggregator Jinri Toutiao plans to roll out mini-programs, joining WeChat, Alipay, and Baidu in a race for user attention spans, reports local media.
The mini-programs are currently in a stage of internal testing and will be released soon if all goes as planned. According to a Toutiao representative, the company hopes to offer a richer experience for users with different needs by launching the new feature.
Enterprises reportedly have limited access to the mini-programs, which are currently only compatible with Android systems. Users will be able to enter the mini-program by searching for keywords and can share specific program pages to Weitoutiao, Toutiao’s microblogging platform. The new feature also supports Alipay.
