When it comes to Assistant 91, many friends may not have much impression.
In the second half of 2013, Baidu acquired the then-prosperous 91 Assistant at a high price of US$1.9 billion, which became a legend in the history of acquisitions.
91 Assistant appeared in 2009, when smartphones were just starting out. It was the only cross-terminal and cross-platform content distribution platform in the world at that time, and the first iPhone had just been launched.
With features such as cracking and jailbreaking, 91 Assistant, which has taken the lead, announced in 2013 that the cumulative application downloads on its platform exceeded 10 billion.which is equivalent to the average Chinese person using 91 assistants to download 8 softwares.
But later, with the improvement of the official download of Apple APP and the launch of their own app stores by major mobile phone manufacturers, the traffic of 91 was quickly diverted, and the sense of presence was greatly reduced.
In February 2020, the developers of Baidu Mobile Assistant released the “Notice of 91 and Android Market Channels”, announcing the end of the 91 era.
However, checking the official website of 91 Assistant found that its PC version is still being updated.The official introduction says: 91 Assistant PC version is a PC-side management software that supports iPhone, iPad, Android and other smart phone systems, provides applications, games, themes, wallpapers, ringtones and other resources to download, realizes files, text messages, contacts, photos , video management functions, and also provides practical tools such as backup and restore, flashback repair, one-key cleanup, and one-key acceleration.
And its Apple Assistant has stopped updating as early as September 2017.
Do you still use third-party app stores to download apps?
