Recently, Wang Xiaodong, a blogger who claims to be an old fan of Huawei, complained about the Huawei Hongmeng 5.1 system on social media, saying that after upgrading from Hongmeng 4.3 to Hongmeng 5.1, mainstream apps such as WeChat and Douyin were unable to be “fully compatible and adapted”, and that some functions could not be used properly. After personally going to the Huawei after-sales store to “flash” the previous version, he also wasted a lot of time and experienced “partial data loss.” The content was heavily retweeted and resonated with consumers, and a large number of users claimed to have been “driven crazy” and “crushed to death” by the Hongmeng 5 system. In response, Huawei Consumer Hotline engineers revealed to the “BUG” section that since the Hongmeng 5 operating system was thoroughly self-developed and is no longer developed based on Android, all kinds of applications on it need to be redesigned and developed. Although most of the software currently “has 80% of the functionality online,” some functions are still being developed and adapted, and video creators and other groups “do not recommend upgrading to Hongmeng 5.1 yet.”
