I think many of the annoying functions on the APP are not specific to one, but are basically classified into categories. Whenever we encounter such a function, we will silently lower the score of this APP, and sometimes even choose to uninstall it and find another one to ban it.
1. Advertising functions
I think this kind of function is probably the most disgusting among all categories. They usually make users disgusted. For example, sometimes we open an application with great interest and are about to start using it, and then suddenly some ads pop up and block your view. Sometimes it doesn't matter if it's blocked, or in more serious cases, a new page will pop up after you click it, which is the kind of button hidden behind an advertisement, but you can't see it. I don’t think this feeling is practical, as reports indicate that this advertising method is among the most annoying advertising methods on computers.
I think the way WeChat advertises is relatively mild. I don’t know since when, there will be an unknown circle of friends in our circle of friends from time to time. This circle of friends is almost the kind of very well-known enterprises or companies that place advertisements in it, such as Coca-Cola and diamonds. I seem to have them. Saw it. You can also choose not to remind or display this type of advertisement, so I think this method is relatively mild.
2. Notification functions
Although these functions can be canceled in most cases, it is obvious that we do not know it when we first use the APP, and they sometimes disappear within a day. There are just a few messages, and some even suddenly play some prompt music, which can be particularly embarrassing if you are working.
For some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, I think this will probably waste a lot of their time to pay attention. After all, these apps usually have a red prompt in the upper right corner, which displays the latest information. How many new messages are there. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder will not be able to help but click on it, because if only one of all applications displays this, they will feel particularly uncomfortable.
If you play Weibo or some games, you will find that they will display such information, giving you the urge to click in. Even if you may not be interested in the information itself, just eliminate the red dots first.
3. Like/review functions
This type of function is very similar to advertising. I believe people who play mobile games will find that whenever we are fascinated by playing When playing a game, a prompt box will always pop up, with options such as giving us a five-star like or rating it next time. Although this kind of function basically does not have much impact on users, sometimes they still feel a little helpless. I think compared to the advertisements, the tips here are more acceptable.
Of course, there are definitely more than just the above annoying features. I think as an APP developer, you should pay more attention to consumers' acceptance of these functions, otherwise it may cause the loss of some users.
The likes and comments prompts displayed by ***’s friends on WeChat are one of the features I hate the most.
I think it’s not easy for a person to post on WeChat Moments. Whether it’s a photo of food or a selfie, you need to spend time finding an angle to take the photo, spend time retouching the photo and find filters, and think of appropriate captions. These are quite troublesome. So if it's a good friend's circle of friends, I usually like it, but now the trouble comes. After I click a like, all other people's comments will be prompted. As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, it's really annoying. I don’t like the reminder on my phone, so the only way I can do it is to cancel the like I clicked.
In fact, I was able to accept this function in the past. After all, happiness must be shared with everyone. But when I discovered a lot of things that made people feel lonely because of this function, I became less able to accept it. Many people must have a friend like this around them. They live very hard, and then they don't pay attention to their circle of friends. That friend of mine is someone I care about very much. No matter what I post before, she has never liked or commented on it.
At the beginning, I was quite awkward and very childish. But after I knew that she was such a temperamental person, I completely understood. But when I saw her leaving likes and comments on other friends’ posts, I couldn’t bear it. The three of us play together, why does she never pay attention to me, but comments on another person? Why do they want to stimulate me again when I am already very sad? WeChat makes me a friend.
To tell the truth, I left a comment and a like for someone, maybe it was just a matter of excitement. I saw someone’s stuff and thought it was interesting, and it generated a subtle buzz, so I did it. . But I really don’t want to know what others think about this news, nor do I want to know other people’s stories. Even if I am interested, I will go and see it myself without having to remind everyone. Hope to change, it is collapsing.
