Two weeks of guessing games later and… Asian streaming platform iflix may be poised to join Tencent’s streaming stable.

At least if any conclusions can be drawn by the appearance of iflix and Tencent’s WeTV together for the first time on Google’s Play Store.

The two apps appeared together last night under publisher Renfeng Media Tech Inc’s shingle. The two are the only apps published by the Tencent-linked developer.

iflix had also switched publishers on Apple this morning. As of 8.57am, WeTV publisher on Apple’s platform is listed as Image Future Investment (HK) Limited, which we also believe is linked to Tencent.

If our conclusions are correct, the app updates should be followed by an official announcement any day now of an iflix sale to Tencent.

The fate of the approx 100-ish people still employed by iflix remains unclear, but we’re thinking that after last week’s layoffs, those who are left may be migrating with the brand to the new owners.

For now, the two brands – iflix, which is the stronger of the two in Southeast Asia, and WeTV – are clearly streaming separately.

Perhaps oddly, given iflix’s five-years of pushing headlines, the Kuala Lumpur-based streamer has remained in locked-lip mode for the past two weeks, since news surfaced of a sale to a buyer from Greater China.

Tencent, which is rumoured (unconfirmed) to be looking at acquiring rival mainland streamer iQiyi, is also not speaking about iflix. But we will continue to ask…
