Apple's first foldable smartphone, iPhone Duo, is set to release, but testing reveals compatibility issues with several popular applications, including WeChat, which shows a black screen on either side of the device. Tencent customer service has stated that they are actively working on the compatibility and updates.
Specific Issues
Opening WeChat results in a central display with large black edges on either side, while other popular applications such as Google Maps, Gmail, Uber, etc., also fail to fit the large screen, leading to black screens on the sides.
Reasons and Responses
Apple did not release the developer kit for iPhone Duo until early October, leaving developers with limited time to test and adapt the applications, resulting in an insufficient timeline.
Tencent customer service has noted that WeChat is actively working on compatibility for Apple's foldable devices and plans to release updates as soon as possible, while continuously optimizing the user experience.
