Tencent Technology News June 3 news, the United States Apple Inc. on Monday at the World Developers Conference (WWDC) showed a variety of new software products. Many people are impressed, but some people do not buy it. So far, at least one founders of technology companies have expressed dissatisfaction.

Jan Koum, co-founder of instant messaging service WhatsApp, "copied" WhatsApp about some of the new iMessage features that soothed Apple's show.

Commented on the social networking site, Qom pointed out: "I'm flattered by the iMessage service of Apple's new operating system, iOS 8, that can draw on the wealth of features of WhatsApp."

Although Qom did not specify exactly where Apple copied WhatsApp from updates to its iMessage, choosing to insert audio, video, and location information in a conversation was WhatsApp's first move.

Qom did not respond immediately to our request for comment.

Earlier, Apple had "borrowed" the history of software features from other technology companies. It seems that at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple vows to hold this tradition to the end.

At the show, Apple also showed that these plugged-in audio and video attachments "automatically ruin" without the user's specific choice. Apple pointed out that this feature is to help users save the phone storage space, but in fact may be a threat to the post-mortem photo sharing application Snapchat, which is based on the timely destruction of the dialogue pictures.

However, for Apple's approach, Snapchat's response appears more official than Qumu.

A spokesman for Snapchat said in an email: "We are very excited to see other companies are also beginning to use the default deletion."

In addition to being "plagiarized" about information services, Apple also showed iCloud Drive, a file storage system similar to Dropbox and Box. In addition, Apple also claims that the service has better performance in photo storage, which could be a threat to Carousel, the photo management app that Dropbox released earlier this year.

For those features, Dropbox spokesman said there is "no information to share." In the meantime, Box CEO praised Apple on Twitter for allowing iCloud to synchronize content across platforms.

According to reports, Dropbox CEO and Box CEO are present at Apple's Global Developers Conference in San Francisco. (Lee Road)
