10+ Apps You Must Uninstall During the National Day Holiday

"A phone with 64GB of storage should be enough." This is what I thought when I changed my phone, as I once used the 8G version of iPhone 4.

However, after using the phone for less than half a year, it became like this:

​​

There is only 3G of free space left, which is not enough for taking photos and recording videos during the National Day holiday. The pixels of cameras are so high now, a photo is 5M, and a 1080P HD video is 200M per minute. How can I take all the materials for my WeChat Moments in the second half of the year with such a small space?

What to do? Uninstall a few apps from this nearly 18G...

​​

This was a problem that 8G phones in the past and 64G phones today often face. The solution is to double the capacity of the phone next time, or to temporarily solve it by uninstalling some apps.

Now is the era of mobile Internet. When I go out, I need travel guides, maps, reviews and promotions, and shared bicycles. Which app should I not use?

But do you know? The "WeChat" that you can't uninstall the most can actually allow you to uninstall all of them - because WeChat launched mini-programs this year.

12306——can save 46M storage space

The Android version of the 12306 App is nearly 46M. If you have already booked a train ticket and just want to check the exact delay and timetable, you can use this 12306 Travel official app. In addition to the exact delay, 12306 Travel+ can also display information on the station's large screen. The interface design is even more beautiful than the 12306 official App.

Shared bikes – can save 260M

If you are traveling on your own or on a domestic route, the biggest difference between this year and last year is that shared bicycles are now available in almost all major cities and tourist attractions in the country.

With shared bicycles, walking and short-distance bus travel can be replaced, and the entire trip will become more compact... But do you know which bicycle company's territory is in the city you are going to? The colorful bicycle app on the mobile phone also takes up a lot of space.

Replacing the shared bicycle app with a WeChat applet is one of the most convenient application scenarios. Not only can you avoid downloading the shared bicycle apps of various colors such as red, yellow, and blue (saving storage space), but you also save the waiting time for opening screen ads and activity push notifications. The experience of scanning with WeChat and riding a bike is also more convenient than opening the apps of various companies.

​​

Before the National Day holiday, WeChat officially launched mini-programs for five different colors of bicycles: Mobike, ofo, Bluegogo, Baiker, and Ubike. No matter which bicycle sphere you travel to, you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of not being able to ride because you don't have the client.

Travel tips - can save about 100M

Travel guides are also essential apps for going out. Ctrip Guide and Mafengwo have launched official mini-programs in this category. The main needs for travel guides are search, reading and sharing. After reading the guide in the WeChat mini-program, the experience of sharing it with friends is better than that of the app.

​​

Hotel booking - save about 140M

Booking a hotel when traveling is also a necessity. Can’t be removed? Actually, it’s not…

Ctrip, Qunar.com, and Meituan Hotel have all officially launched mini-programs. In addition to Meituan Hotel+, which is specifically used for booking hotels, Qunar.com and Ctrip can also book air tickets and train tickets. In order to let users know that its mini-programs are fully functional, Ctrip has also given them a very long name - Ctrip Hotel, Air Ticket, Train Ticket, Bus Ticket, and Ticket Booking.

​​

Basically, the functions you use most often on Ctrip can be realized in Ctrip’s official mini-program.

Map navigation - can save about 600M

Map navigation is essential for traveling. If the storage space is insufficient, you can use "Map Lite" instead. In addition to route planning, you can also check the weather.

​​

Public transportation inquiry and ride - can save about 40M

When traveling by bus, in addition to map-type mini-apps, you can also use mini-apps such as Car Coming and Didi Bus Inquiry to check routes. If your travel destination is these places, you can also use Tencent's official ride code to take the bus, without having to download a special recharge app, and it is more convenient to scan the code to take the bus.

​​

Group purchase review - can save about 200M

For reviews of tourist attractions and restaurant group purchases, you can use the official mini-programs of Meituan and Dianping instead of apps.

​​

You can’t write reviews on Meituan and Dianping’s mini apps, but maybe you’re not in the mood to write a review while traveling.

Translation - can save 100M

If you are traveling abroad, you can use the Tencent Translator app. However, this app currently only supports four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. You need to pay attention to the language of your travel destination.

​​

Takeaway - can save about 100M

If you are out having fun, why do you need takeout? If you don’t have enough storage space, you can uninstall it. But if you need it, you can also use the Meituan Takeout+ app to order it.

​​

News client - can save 700M

Although traveling is busy, if you care about world affairs, you may not want to miss the most important news.

The news client is actually a hidden storage space monster. If you don’t have the habit of clearing the cache frequently, some clients may consume 700MB~1GB of storage space at one time.

​​​​

Do you like Tencent News? Tiantian Kuaibao? Or Toutiao? It doesn't matter. Tencent News Highlights, Tiantian Kuaibao, and Toutiao Lite are three mini-apps that will help you never miss out on big news.

Relatives - can save 30M

If you choose to go back to your hometown to visit your elders during the National Day holiday, you can use this "relative relationship"

calculator

Mini program to quickly calculate the titles of relatives.

Multi-person album——***

Whose phone space is insufficient are you least worried about? Of course, it is others whose phone space is insufficient that you are least worried about!

The multi-person photo album introduced by *** is such a killer that prefers memories over friendship. If you are traveling with a group of people or with your family, photo sharing is actually a very troublesome thing. Which photo should be shared and which should not be shared, and you may send it to your aunt but not to your younger aunt. Although WeChat groups can solve this problem to a certain extent, if the group is also used for communication and other purposes, sharing photos will not be so convenient.

​​

This multi-person album can create a shared cloud album for a group or several friends. Any album member can upload their own photos to it, and other group members can view and download them. The entire travel album can also create a small program code to share with friends, groups and Moments.

“Hey, hey, send me that photo…”

“I want that photo, too.”

If you encounter this situation, you no longer need to send them one by one.

Having said so much, where can you find these mini programs? In fact, you don’t need the mini program code at all. You only need to search for the apps mentioned in this article in the mini program to find their mini programs:

​​

In fact, there are more travel applets worth recommending than those mentioned above. You can open the storage page of your mobile phone, see which one you don’t like, search for it in WeChat, and if you find it, you can say goodbye to it.

However, most mini-programs are still not as good as apps in terms of complex operations and in-depth experience. If you change your mobile phone next year... it’s better to start with 128G.
