WeChat's HarmonyOS version reached 80.2 million installs as of September 26, 2026, according to IT Home. The app first became available on Huawei's AppGallery in January 2025. Earlier reports indicated that adaptation was nearing completion.
The install count reflects cumulative downloads from Huawei's AppGallery, not active users. No technical details about the app's architecture or performance were provided in the evidence.
Huawei's HarmonyOS ecosystem gains a key app milestone, strengthening its position against Android and iOS in China. Developers targeting Chinese users may need to prioritize HarmonyOS compatibility as WeChat's presence signals platform maturity.
The milestone indicates growing user adoption of HarmonyOS, which could influence app developers' resource allocation and Huawei's device sales.
A verifiable next signal is whether WeChat's HarmonyOS version reaches 100 million installs or if Tencent announces feature parity with Android/iOS versions.
