Alipay Beta Tests In-app Social Networking Feed
My Drivers, 10/05/15
Chinese e-commerce conglomerate Aliababa Group's third-party payment processor Alipay has released a new version of its app for public beta testing which includes a social networking feed feature, "Shenghuo Quan" (Life Circle), similar to the 'Moments' function included in Tencent's (0700.HK) WeChat mobile messaging app. Shenghuo Quan can be found by navigating through the "Friends" feature, which was added to Alipay in version 9.0.
Shenghuo Quan has an interface similar to WeChat Moments that allows users to see news and stories shared by their friends.
