From competitors to partners? HarmonyOS can now be compatible with iOS.

On March 30, 2025, the Huawei Pura X foldable phone was officially launched. It is the world's first phone pre - installed with the pure - blooded Hongmeng operating system.

Since then, more and more new and old Huawei devices have started to be equipped with the pure - blooded Hongmeng operating system, which is now known as HarmonyOS 5.

Today, the domestic Hongmeng operating system has undergone another transformation - HarmonyOS 6 has officially arrived!

What new features, which are industry - firsts, does HarmonyOS 6 bring? Let me show you guys a preview right away!

The "HarmonyOS 6 Special Press Conference" was hosted by Yu Chengdong of Huawei. Mr. Yu said that the number of HarmonyOS 5 devices has exceeded 23 million;

In terms of application adaptation, Mr. Yu specially invited representatives from Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, JD.com, etc. to explain. Most applications have been iterated over a hundred times.

Compared with the current HarmonyOS 5, the overall fluency of HarmonyOS 6 has increased by 15%!

Hey, I know what you guys are thinking. The game adaptation you care most about is not absent;

Moreover, the data of most games can be inherited to the Hongmeng system. You can still play games with your teammates even after changing your phone!

There are several games I'm very concerned about, such as Naruto, Teamfight Tactics, Delta Force, Genshin Impact, Break - In, etc.

Uh... Did I just expose my preferences?

Ahem, specifically, the performance of Delta Force has been greatly optimized, with the minimum frame rate increased by 24%;

Genshin Impact has been synchronized to the latest version across all platforms, and its power consumption has been greatly reduced;

Taking the Mate 70 Pro as a reference, you can play these two games continuously for 4 hours on a full charge.

Moreover, other games are also being continuously optimized. The startup speed of dozens of games has increased by 5 times!

Huawei also confidently said that the startup speed of the same game on its devices is faster than that of any competitor!

In addition, relying on its powerful multi - device interconnection ability, HarmonyOS 6 has globally pioneered the "One - touch Team - up" technology for phones;

As long as players have a HarmonyOS 6 phone, they can form a team by touching their phones after entering the same game;

This function also supports one - to - many connections. When you are having a party with friends and want to play a five - player game together, you don't have to add friends repeatedly!

However, the adaptation of this function is currently quite limited. It only supports a few games and needs further development in the future.

In daily use, relying on the Ark Compiler, the application opening speed of HarmonyOS 6 has increased by another 11%;

The page loading speed has increased by 21%, the information flow display speed has increased by another 30%; even the speed of snapping up products on e - commerce platforms has increased by 20%.

I'm not kidding... HarmonyOS 6 is so detailed!

In addition, HarmonyOS 6 has opened a new chapter in the field of film and television by starting the domestic self - developed HDR Vivid live - streaming encoding;

And the first to achieve this feat is the well - known "Bilibili". Shouldn't we shout "Bilibili is awesome"?

Meanwhile, the large - file data processing ability of HarmonyOS 6 has been further improved. It only takes 0.6 seconds to open a 1GB PDF file;

It only takes 3.5 seconds to decompress a 2GB compressed package. Moreover, the larger the data package, the greater the processing speed advantage of HarmonyOS 6.

In addition to daily and entertainment experiences, system security has also become a focus for people.

The Star Shield architecture of the HarmonyOS 6 system has been upgraded again, bringing new active security capabilities!

Huawei attaches great importance to system security. They even invited an actor to shoot a video, which made me laugh so hard.

Hey, what does "All zeros" mean? I think the comments on the live - stream are a bit confusing, haha~

Back to the topic, this active security includes two parts: system - initiated active security and user - initiated active security.

The so - called system - initiated active security means that the system can actively intervene in high - risk behaviors, such as one - time file encryption and anti - peeping;

More importantly, the system can detect calls, text messages, and high - risk operations. When a call involves telecom fraud, the system can actively intervene or even terminate the call;

When a user installs illegal remote - control software, the system will actively lock the interface, etc.

In terms of user - initiated active security, HarmonyOS 6 has pioneered the family anti - fraud function. If the administrator sets a blacklist of phone numbers, the blacklist will be automatically shared among all the devices of family members;

When a family member receives a fraud call, the system will remind other family members that "someone is currently engaged in a high - risk behavior";

After receiving the reminder, family members can remotely force - hang up the fraud call and lock functions such as money transfers on the family member's phone.

I have to say, I was really shocked when I saw these active security protections.

It's hard for the elderly to defend against telecom fraud;

But with the active security protection of the Hongmeng Star Shield, young people can interrupt high - risk behaviors such as telecom fraud and money transfers at any time!

This is also one of the advantages of the self - developed operating system. The security performance of HarmonyOS 6 definitely lives up to its reputation.

OK, the above are the new and powerful features of HarmonyOS 6. In addition to these, the new system has also optimized a lot of details;

Next, I'll share some functions that I think are very practical with you.

I think the most significant one here is "Huawei Share". It has a new one - to - many transfer function, and in the future, it can even transfer data with the iOS ecosystem through OTA updates!

Oh my, even HarmonyOS, which seems so upright, is "integrating" with Apple. It's so funny.

Then there is cross - device data transfer. HarmonyOS 6 has launched the gaze - based transfer function;

When a user drags a file with a mouse, they only need to look at the device they want to transfer the file to, and the file will be automatically sent to that device.

The Xiaoyi intelligent agent has undergone a major transformation. Xiaoyi is directly connected to dozens of third - party intelligent assistants. You can have seamless conversations among multiple intelligent agents without manual switching.

For example, when you are watching videos, you can command Xiaoyi to place an order using the JD.com assistant in the background, and then confirm the payment when a pop - up window appears.

Finally, the "Xiaoyi Sees the World" function really touched me. It is specially designed for people with disabilities. Xiaoyi can help visually impaired people distinguish things in the outside world;
