ByteDance's second AI-agent phone drops forced automation for permission — yet app wall still up

ByteDance released its second smartphone with an AI agent: instead of forced app automation, it now requests user permission. However, the 'app wall' problem—third-party services refusing to work with the agent—remains unresolved.

• ByteDance's second AI-agent phone switched to permission model instead of forced automation
• Third-party apps still block the AI agent
• China's 'AI-agent phone' category has not yet gained mass app support
