It's typical to feel a little easy about potential user feedback, when releasing an app version that incorporates a lot of new features. Most developers would prefer to release the new version to a small number of users and collect feedback in a controlled environment, so that they could determine whether further improvements are necessary, before making it accessible to the entire user base. HUAWEI Quick App's phased release allows developers to accomplish this with remarkable ease, addressing longstanding concerns related to app upgrade releases.

What Is Phased Release?

Phased release allows for new app versions to be released to a dedicated user group within a specified time period. During the phased release period, developers can collect user feedback on the new version, in order to evaluate it comprehensively, and make an informed decision about whether to release it to the entire user base.

Previous status quo: The new version is open to all users upon release. In the event that an issue occurs, all users are affected.

Current model: The new version is first released to a select number of users. If these users report any issues, the developer can opt to make further enhancements to the version before re-releasing it. If the feedback from the select user group meets expectations, the developer can gradually increase the accessibility of the app, until the version is available to all users.
