The earliest mobile phone QQ was born in 2003. At that time, most of the mobile phones were function machines and Saipan system. The interface of the whole software was relatively simple, which basically met the needs of friends’ online chat. And this is also the most basic function as a communication tool.

Because it is touch-sensitive interaction, the functional design is more centralized, reducing the accumulation of windows, and making the display of functions patchwork. However, traces of PC still remain on mobile QQ, which also lowers the threshold for users to migrate.
