Definir qué es una red social no es nada fácil porque interseca con otras plataformas como mensajería instantánea, vídeos, o #superapps.
Luego también hay redes sociales alternativas que se rigen por unas lógicas totalmente distintas a la de los gigantes que conocemos y que no son el problema.

China's tech giants are embedding Agentic AI *directly* into their super apps for commerce, handling everything from product discovery to payment!
While the West focuses on foundational models, Alibaba & Tencent are leading a new kind of AI integration. Is this the ultimate battleground, or just different lanes to the same future?

#Tech giants in the #MiddleEast are developing #superapps, consolidating various services like ride-hailing, payments, and delivery into single platforms. https://restofworld.org/2025/middle-east-super-apps/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Musk und Zuckerberg wollen #SuperApps nach Europa bringen, doch hohe Datenschutzstandards und kulturelle Unterschiede stehen im Weg. In China und Brasilien regieren All-in-One-Apps längst den Alltag – in Europa bleibt das vorerst Vision. Doch die nächste Stufe droht und heißt Super-Assistenz – eine KI, die nicht nur organisiert, sondern entscheidet. #tagesschau https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie/super-app-entwicklung-super-intelligenz-100.html

Es ist ja so schön, nicht nachzudenken und sich komplett fremdbestimmen zu lassen.
Die einzig sinnvolle SuperApp heisst "Betriebssystem". Alles andere gehört nicht da rein gegossen, fertig!
-
Kommt die Super-App auch nach Europa?
Chatten, Shoppen, digitale Behördengänge: alles mit einer App. So genannte Super-Apps sind in Asien und auch in Brasilien Alltag, in Europa noch Vision. Wie lange noch? Von Antje Erhard.

In this #Vergecast episode they keep saying Apple doesn’t allow super apps on iOS so they won’t have to concede the market to something like WeChat which made the hardware mostly irrelevant. They also said the banks are prevented from using the payment feature directly so they have to sign a deal with Apple to use Apple Pay.
I get that it’s an American perspective but don’t publish misinformation. China’s WeChat and Southeast Asian “super” apps like Grab, Gojek, and Air Asia all work on iPhones with no problems whatsoever. We use these apps daily to book a car, a bike, order food, arrange for courier deliveries, pay for stuff, etc.
Most banks and digital wallets in Southeast Asia skip Apple, Android, or Samsung Pay altogether because Android is dominant so they all adopt QR payments in their respective markets.
Right now a common QR payment is being rolled out across almost all of Southeast Asia so whichever Southeast Asian bank or wallet you use you’ll be able to use your account to pay for almost anything anywhere in the region that accepts QR payments.
I regularly use my Singaporean UOB account to pay for things like groceries and gasoline in Jakarta by scanning the QR code on the merchant terminal and it’s as seamless as using your card. Sure it’s not as fancy as tapping your phone or watch to pay for stuff but in terms of financial inclusion, it’s so much wider since cheap Android phones are on board.
There’s also no good reason why Uber and Uber Eats have to be different apps! If anything Uber is the one American company that knows everything about super apps because they competed with Grab and Gojek in Southeast Asia before retreating and merging their local ops with Grab.
Apple is not preventing super apps from existing or working on your phones. Is anyone even trying it in the US? It’s not Apple who’s actively preventing it, it’s the “western” digital culture, the market, it’s Americans who don’t want them. What you might prefer to have instead in the US are integrated services or features around a specific theme or category.
Like Google Maps gives you direction but also information about venues and locations including place reviews, prices, photos, opening times, transit and traffic information, and so on.
Right now Spotify is trying to be some sort of a super app by offering not just songs and lyrics and information about musicians and bands but also music videos and podcasts, and now they’re trialing online education courses in the UK.
Who knows maybe Netflix will also add education courses or classes or live sports and events aside from streaming movies, series, documentaries, and games because those are things you do on your TV.
Think of what you can do in Fortnite or Roblox already and expand that outside the narrow boundaries. I mean Fortnite and Roblox already hosted concerts, Duolingo added maths and music courses.
See what I’m getting at? The category expansions app developers are trying in the “western” markets are not all encompassing like in Asia but they grow out of a central theme.
FWIW, you can lump Instagram into this category because it’s a photo and video sharing app that has direct and group messaging, audio and video calls, online shops, and gives you information about venues and locations.

Im Vergecast stellt Nilay die These auf, dass der Fokus auf #Superapps bei der US-Klage gegen #Apple eine Strategie sein könnte, *Elon Musk* für den Prozess zu begeistern. So was hab ich mir tatsächlich auch gedacht, als ich las, dass sie Apple vorwerfen, Superapps zu verbieten, eine Kategorie, die bisher nie wirklich Thema war. Die weitere Überlegung scheint sogar zu sein: Sollte Trump wieder Präsident werden, bekäme Xitter wieder Aufwind und dann unterstützt Musk die Klage umso mehr.

super apps, those tech darlings of the latter half of the 2010s, are struggling not because of decreased demand but rather govt scrutiny #superapps #mobile

#SuperApps #PoliticalEconomy #Conglomeration #DigitalEconomy: "‘Super apps’ are on the rise. This study explores the characteristics, origins, and manifestations of these apps worldwide, presenting the concept of ‘super-appification’ to describe processes of conglomeration in the global digital economy. Super apps aim to become deeply integrated into people’s everyday lives, capturing and monetising essential activities. By analysing 41 super apps, we identify four distinct types of ‘super-app constellations’, showcasing different patterns and dynamics of conglomeration: ‘Swiss-Army Knife’ apps that consolidate services in one app, ‘Family’ apps that expand through subsidiaries, and ‘Host’ and ‘Hub’-style apps that leverage external developers. This typology offers a comprehensive understanding of the conglomeration patterns underpinning the rise of super apps, involving corporate, development and international expansion strategies. Ultimately, super-appification represents an intensified form of ‘appification’, as these apps increasingly pervade and commodify various aspects of everyday life, such as payment, insurance, grocery delivery, mobility and travel, with significant sociopolitical implications."

#SuperApps #Solutionism #SiliconValley: "For some tech firms like Microsoft, super apps may provide an opportunity to break the hold of more established monopolies like Apple or Google. And for consumers, one application with a core function brings together a diverse array of services such as calling a cab, investing money, or even making a quick buck.
But app-based solutions to structural problems are just shining examples of insisting the disease is the cure. Silicon Valley has long exploited existing societal and infrastructural gaps. Ride-hail platforms have savaged public transit and the taxi industry, but the need for drivers in cities without adequate transport options remains. The same goes for platforms offering app-based solutions to housing or financial services: Their popularity is less a testament to their innovation than to how desiccated the nonmarket alternatives were, thanks to older deregulatory campaigns stretching back to the ascent of neoliberal governance in the 1970s. In the end, they perpetuate problems with the systems they claim to hack. The crypto industry preys on nonwhite communities without access to the traditional financial system, and on-demand labor platforms have been hard at work eroding this country’s threadbare labor laws."

#SuperApps Are Terrible for People—and Great for Companies
Apps that offer to "do it all" will subject users to even more #exploitation and #surveillance, while large tech companies profit.

Watched interesting video about super apps (and how twitter :birdsite: tries to become one)
TL;DR: In Asia you didn't even have to try to make super app; Facebook/Meta, SnapChat, Uber tried to become one and failed. Why :birdsite: could do it?

Super-Apps als Zukunftstrend – aber bitte erhöhte Obacht #9vor9
Das Thema Super-Apps ist brandaktuell und wird von einigen Analysten wie Gartner als ein Trend der kommenden Jahre gesehen. Wir haben ja auch vernehmen dürfen, dass Elon Murks davon träumt, Twitter zu einer Super-App à la WeChat auszubauen. Mehr dazu bei #9vor9 mit dem @larsbas und mir

In China dominiert WeChat seit langem den Markt. In der Super-App sind viele Funktionen vom Messaging, Reise planen bis zum Bezahlen (und viel mehr) integriert. Angeblich träumt auch Elon Musk davon, Twitter zu einer Super-App zu machen. Und auch die Analysten u.a. von Gartner sagen Super-Apps eine glorreiche Zukunft voraus. Wir - Lars Basche und ich - sprechen darüber gleich bei #9vor9 - live auf LinkedIn und YouTube #Superapps #Mobile

VCs and tech journalists on LinkedIn keep hyping the idea of a super app for the US and EU markets.
A super app would give a company I already get a mediocre experience from the ability to ensure all of my digital experiences are mediocre. No thanks.

Next was an exciting discussion on why #SuperApps are emerging in #Africa with Emeka Ajene and Alastair Sussock at #TechCabal. I haven't heard such a coherent discussion of super apps before, and the conversation leaves me increasingly interested in this area of African #tech. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelrsUkFpEc (9/12)
