QQ Browser is a comprehensive app that integrates news, search, novel reading, entertainment, video, and file management tools. It has a broad user base in China. ( DAU: 60M+)
The project involved an upgrade and redesign of the homepage News Feeds. By analyzing product features and incorporating user feedback, we developed design solutions and validated them through A/B testing. This approach aimed to enhance the user browsing experience while ensuring positive growth in product metrics to drive product iteration. As a designer, my deep consideration was focused on balancing an excellent reading experience with promoting data growth and increasing commercial revenue.
