the webview messes up tokens and passwords managers so I don't see this happening. The US is too culturally different to have mega apps. In Asia their supermarkets also have a lot of information in the menu for example.

Replace "mega app" with "platform" and that's pretty much what Apple and Google are, Apple especially.

no I will not replace mega app with platform, WeChat app is totally different from the App Store.

In and Out has 5 menu items, similar to an app made in the USA, not too many features

A Chinese market can list 50 items similar to WeChat that has 50 different features.

The culture is reflected in the app design.

		The App Store moved the clusters of icons to the home screen, but the messages and wallet app are right next to each other, and tightly integrated. You get to re-arrange and hide most icons, at least. The UI looks different (information density etc.) but in the end it's still a collection of external applications neatly wrapped inside a platform with strong walls and a strict gatekeeper, with a basic suite available by default. In China, you could ditch most of iOS if you could trick a phone into launching directly into WeChat.
