Meituan and Kuaishou Expand Ecosystems with Social Gaming and In-App Knowledge Features

Meituan added social and AI features to its gaming area, including chat, matching, profiles, and helper tools.

Kuaishou launched an in-app encyclopedia that surfaces verified information in search results and content discovery.

Both companies are pushing beyond core services to keep users in-app longer and deepen engagement.

The moves highlight a broader race among major Chinese platforms to build more integrated entertainment and information ecosystems.
