WeChat can also perform performance testing & clean up space, and experience the new features in detail

WeChat avatar performance testing tool

What? WeChat also does this part-time? The new version of WeChat's "performance test tool" was criticized by many users as soon as it was launched. Some users said that WeChat is not bloated enough? Some users asked what is the use of this tool? So where is this performance test tool? What can it do?

The WeChat "Performance Test Tool" is located at: WeChat → Me → Settings → Help and Feedback → The wrench button in the upper right corner → Performance Test Tool.

WeChat's "Performance Test Tool" has several main functions. One is to display the FPS frame rate , the other is to check the battery temperature and CPU usage , and it can also display memory information and perform ANR detection, freeze detection, etc. WeChat uses a floating window mode to display data, and the floating window supports dragging.

However, no matter whether the phone is in 90Hz or 120Hz display mode, this FPS detection can only detect 60Hz.

WeChat's "Performance Detection Tool" is a useless little tool for ordinary users. It can only be used to check it out when you are curious. Why did WeChat suddenly launch this little tool? The editor estimates that this tool is a performance monitoring tool made by the WeChat internal team to test the internal beta version of WeChat, to test whether the new version will freeze or not. However, when the test version was packaged into the official version this time, the entrance of this tool was forgotten to be hidden. Maybe it will disappear in the next WeChat version update.

For users who really have relevant performance testing requirements, why not use this clear device information App.

Free up the occupied storage space

The new version of WeChat also launched a new storage space management tool, which allows users to better free up the storage space occupied by WeChat. It seems that WeChat officials have also noticed the bloatedness of WeChat on mobile phones, but it is still bloated.

The new WeChat storage space management tool is located at: WeChat → Me → Settings → General → Storage Space.

After entering and waiting for a while, the storage space occupied by WeChat will be displayed. The new version of the storage space management tool divides the user's WeChat data into three categories: one is cache (can be cleaned), two is chat history (can be cleaned), and three is other data (cannot be cleaned). The new version can clean up more WeChat junk files than the old version and free up the occupied storage space.
