Have you unloaded and reinstalled WeChat to alleviate memory pressure?
Many people often don’t have enough space in their mobile phones to clean up garbage. WeChat is one of the applications that take up a relatively large amount and basically consumes more than 10GB. If you use WeChat heavily, it is possible to occupy more than 50GB, which is a disaster for users with only 128GB of all memory.
So, when cleaning up mobile phone garbage, you often don’t forget to clean up WeChat files and caches.
However, even if all chat records are deleted, clicking to delete the cache is useless. WeChat still takes up a lot of space, and it can't be cleaned up at any time.
This is because WeChat has a large number of caches that do not allow users to manually clear. If you want to clear this part of the space, you can only uninstall WeChat and reinstall it.
In order to relieve memory pressure, many people have done this kind of trouble. Note: Be sure to backup chat history before uninstalling and reinstalling to avoid losing important chat content!
However, although it is a "brand new WeChat", it quickly occupied a lot of space after a period of time. What is the reason for the increasing expansion of WeChat occupation?
1. WeChat functions are increasing
The early WeChat was just an unknown simple chat software, with an installation package of only 457KB, and it occupies extremely low memory. After
development, WeChat has continuously updated its functions, from basic social functions to supporting public accounts, mini programs, WeChat payment and other life functions.
More and more users are pouring into the WeChat circle. According to incomplete statistics, WeChat already has more than 1.2 billion users. WeChat has become the most mainstream social application APP in China. At the same time, WeChat functions are becoming more and more. New functions such as WeChat live broadcast, WeChat emoticon store, Souyisou, video account, etc., meet a variety of application scenarios, but also require a lot of memory space to support it.
2022 version 8.0.24 compared with 2011 version 1.0, the WeChat installation package alone has expanded from 457KB to about 257MB, and has been labeled as "memory assassin".
However, after disassembling the WeChat installation package, you will find that WeChat’s actual code for chat only accounts for 0.1%, and the others are used to run other functions such as mini programs. Most of the code may not be used at all for many people, but it still occupies valuable mobile phone storage space.
2. User usage habits
is not only a chat with friends, but we will also join many group chats, including work groups, relatives and friends groups, community groups and other groups. The large number of photos, videos, voices, emoticons and other files sent during this process will occupy a large amount of storage space on our mobile phones. The more group chats you join
, the more group activity you are, the more you will be, and the storage space of your mobile phone will become smaller and smaller after a period of time.
3. WeChat file storage mechanism
WeChat’s file storage mechanism is also a major reason for consuming memory. An up owner parsed the WeChat file and found that many videos, files, photos and other contents in the WeChat folder were duplicated.
This is because when we use WeChat, we often forward videos, files, pictures and other contents, and in this process, WeChat’s file mechanism will automatically copy a copy to the local area.
The more times you forward the same file, the more storage space it will take up.
For example, forward the 500MB video of your mobile phone to 10 friends, then WeChat will save 10 copies of the video in your mobile phone, and the storage space will be up to 5GB.
However, during the actual transmission process, WeChat will also generate some thumbnails. Therefore, the actual space will take up more.
