Today, the topic "WeChat optimizes storage space" rushed to the hot search.
According to media reports, WeChat recently pushed the official version update of Android platform 8.0.46, and the file size is 251.71 MB after grabbing the installation package and analyzing it. After testing, the intensity of this update is not large, and there are two very interesting places.
Storage optimization
For a long time, many users have complained that WeChat is too large, but the cleaning of storage space cannot be very detailed. In this regard, WeChat has optimized the storage space options in this update.
Originally, there were only three sections in the storage space interface: cache, chat history, and other data. The cache and chat history can be cleaned, but other data cannot be cleaned.
But now, "Other Data" is split into "Resource Files and Chat History for Other Accounts" and "Necessary Files".
The former contains the resource files required for the operation of some functions of WeChat, and the chat history of other accounts that have been logged in on the current device, which can be cleaned, while the latter contains the necessary files required for the operation of WeChat, and the size of this category varies according to the current use status of WeChat, and cannot be cleaned.
If you click "Go to Clean" of the former, a description will pop up, stating that the resource files of some functions will be cleared, and the chat history of other accounts cannot be restored after being cleared.
Compared with the previous need to switch accounts to clean up the chat history of other accounts, now you can clean it directly without switching, which is much more convenient. And the cleaning has also become more meticulous and thorough, allowing the phone to free up more storage space.
In this way, WeChat can achieve "slimming" to a certain extent.
WeChat takes a look at the new graphics and texts
In addition, in August last year, some netizens found that a section called "Graphic" appeared in WeChat's Take a Look interface, where you can view and publish graphic messages. Its layout is similar to that of Little Red Book, the picture is displayed in a waterfall, and there are functions such as accompanying text and likes below, so it is nicknamed "Little Green Book".
At that time, a person close to WeChat revealed that this is a very small-scale internal test, not a new feature, and the video account itself can send pictures, this internal test is to release a separate button for the picture, which can be viewed in a centralized manner.
After nearly half a year of internal testing, the graphic section was finally officially launched with the new version update. is similar to the previously exposed internal test screenshots, both in terms of look and feel, and the operation is more similar to Xiaohongshu. It's just that if you want to send pictures and texts, you can only use the identity of a video account, and when you send pictures and texts, you can add a red envelope cover that Xiaohongshu does not have.
