QQ is a compact social media app revolving around a dynamic instant messaging interface from Tencent Technology Shenzhen Company.

In a lot of respects, QQ can be considered the Chinese equivalent to WhatsApp or Kik; however, the program's primary appeal stems from its powerful capacity to instantly translate between over 50 unique languages. This service is essential for enabling cross-cultural communication in diverse regions. All you have to do is turn on Tap-to-Translate, and the app will instantly make a foreign dialect legible.

This download carries plenty of elements traditionally associated with a web-chat interface, and the concise integration of multimedia files is a definitive plus. All conversations are aesthetically organized for clear delivery of content, which facilitates a precise understanding among correspondents. There are also adorable selfie filters à la Snapchat and Instagram.

Because this software caters to a niche international audience, QQ carries little mainstream acclaim outside of highly localized Asian communities. It's an excellent service for getting in touch with existing contacts, but there aren't enough active members to make QQ a viable option for meeting new people. As a bare-bones development, this installation is not equipped with any form of voice chat. Live-streaming is also eschewed in favor of pre-recorded clips.
