QQ, the folk nickname "penguin", the king of the instant messaging market in Chinese mainland, the essential software for Chinese people to maintain their connections, the dating software that mobile phone users basically install, and the little penguin with a red scarf is its typical symbol

Tencent QQ is an Internet-based instant messaging (IM) software developed by Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd. Tencent QQ supports online chat, video call, point-to-point resumable file transfer, shared files, network hard disk, custom panel, QQ mailbox and other functions. And it can be connected to a variety of communication methods such as mobile communication terminals. You can use QQ to connect with friends conveniently, practically, and efficiently, and all for free.

Relying on its strong technical and financial strength, Tencent is constantly developing new features, enhancing product functions, and striving to provide better services for the majority of QQ users.

On November 12, 1998, Ma Huateng and his college classmate Zhang Zhidong officially registered and established "Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd." At that time, the company's main business was to expand the wireless network paging system. At the beginning of the establishment of the company, the main business is to establish an online paging system for the paging station, and this kind of software development engineering for enterprises or units can be said to be the best choice for almost all small and medium-sized network service companies. This is the predecessor of Tencent QQ. In February 1999, Tencent independently developed an Internet-based instant messaging network tool, Tencent Instant Messenger (TM or Tencent QQ), which won the favor of users with its reasonable design, good ease of use, powerful functions, stable and efficient system operation. QQ used to imitate ICQ, ICQ is an international chat tool, is I seek you (I look for you) meaning, OICQ imitates it in front of ICQ with the letter O, which means opening I seek you, which means "open ICQ", but was accused of infringement, so Tencent boss changed the name of OICQ to QQ, which is the QQ we use now, in addition to the name, the logo of Tencent QQ has not changed, it has always been a little penguin. Because the little penguin in the logo is very cute, it is cute in English, because cute and Q are homonyms, so the little penguin with QQ is also a good name. By 2000, Tencent's OICQ had basically captured nearly 100% of the online instant messaging market in China, and it had basically locked in the win, and then the trouble came. AOL sent a lawyer's letter to Tencent stating that ICQ is a registered trademark of AOL, so any similar software that uses the word ICQ in its name is at risk of infringing Chuyou's trademark use rights. Ask Tencent to change the name of OICQ or go to court.

So in the OICQ2000 Build 0325 version, OICQ made another change to protect itself in advance, but the 0325 version called itself "QQ2000" from the beginning of the installation file to avoid legal conflicts with ICQ. Function: Tencent QQ is an Internet-based instant messaging (IM) software developed by Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd., we can use QQ to communicate with friends, send and receive messages and custom pictures or photos instantly, voice and video face-to-face chat, the function is very comprehensive. In addition, QQ also has functions such as chatting with mobile phones, online paging on BP machines, chat rooms, point-to-point breakpoint resumable file transfer, file sharing, QQ mailbox, Chu You, network favorites, and sending greeting cards. QQ is not only a simple instant messaging software, it cooperates with a number of paging stations and mobile communication companies across the country to realize the traditional wireless paging network and GSM mobile phone short message interconnection, and is the most popular and powerful instant messaging (IM) software in China. Tencent QQ supports a variety of functions such as online chat, instant transfer of video, voice and files. At the same time, QQ can also be connected to mobile communication terminals, IP telephone networks, wireless paging and other communication methods, making QQ not only a simple network virtual pager, but a convenient, practical and ultra-efficient instant communication tool. QQ is probably the most used communication tool in China right now.

With the passage of time, more and more additional products have been developed based on QQ, such as:QQ PetsQQ Music, QQ space, etc., are favored by QQ users. In order to make QQ more deeply rooted in life, Tencent has developed mobile QQ and QQ hierarchy. As long as you apply for mobile QQ, users can enjoy QQ chat on their mobile phones for 10 yuan a month. Mobile QQ2007 realizes the single video chat of mobile phones. However, the requirements for mobile phones are very high.
