WeChat installation package expands 575 times in 11 years?What's wrong with the more and more bloated WeChat?

In the era when 3G has just risen, WeChat just appeared. At that time, WeChat was short and except that there was almost nothing except the simple interface. However, the installation package of WeChat in the past ten years has shown amazing changes. 575 times? What's wrong with the more and more bloated WeChat?

1. WeChat installation package is 575 times in 11 years?

According to fast technology reports, recently, CNMO noticed that some bloggers said that in the WeChat 1.0 version released in January 2011, its Android APK installation package is only 457kb in size, which is not as large as a 12 -megapixel photo. Today, 11 years later, the installation package of WeChat has reached 257MB. This volume has surpassed a lot of PC software. In 11 years, it has "expanded" 575 times. Of course, we all know that we have used WeChat that WeChat actually occupies more than that.

Of course, this is actually very related to the usage situation of the individual. The more friends users have, the more frequent the use of use, and the size of WeChat is naturally small. But in any case, today's WeChat is really "unbearable" for many mobile phones and netizens. It is hoped that the official will optimize this in the future and enhance the experience of users.

Recently, some bloggers disassembled WeChat installation packages through reverse projects. After decompression, they found that today's WeChat 8.0.24 version installation package contains more than 126,000 files, while WeChat 1.0 version has only 199 files. The blogger ridiculed that he thought 98%of the documents were not useful.

The most occupied by the new version of WeChat is the lib file, which contains a variety of third -party dynamic libraries, as required to implement decoding, MP3 and other files. The richer the functions supported by WeChat now, the more libraries required. The new version currently includes 157 libraries. In the 1.0 version, there is only one library in the lib file, which is enough to complete the chat function.

2. What is going on with more and more bloated WeChat?

We saw that the WeChat installation package expanded 575 times within 11 years. Many people felt very surprised. What was the bloated WeChat?

First of all, WeChat is getting bloated and bloated, which is actually a normal phenomenon. In the early days of the development of the entire Android system, the Android system was adapted at that time, but the network speed of 3G. It will be too large. On the one hand, the network speed is relatively slow, and on the other hand, the price of traffic is also very high. Under such a large background, most apps are made of relatively short and concise. Everyone's needs. But with the development of the times, especially after the current 5G era, the traditional market development advantage is actually changing. As the traffic is getting cheaper and the speed is getting faster and faster. Increase your app effort to meet the needs of the market with richer services and functions, so WeChat becomes bloated, which is also an inevitable result of the development of the entire industry.

Secondly, let's look at the early WeChat, which is basically a chat function. In addition to chatting, there are basically no other work content. Even for a long time, WeChat can not use Zhang Xiaolong's logic on the computer on the computer. It is to define WeChat on the use end of the mobile phone, but with the development of the times, WeChat has begun to become a super giant, just like QQ of that year, more and more functions covered by the year, the more the services inside the more and more. Come and more complete, of course, the end result of the complete service is that WeChat has become bigger and bigger. Many workers and many people are actually not used at all, but when you download WeChat installation package, you have to take it more or less. Downloaded, so WeChat is getting more and more bloated, which is exactly the same as the logic of QQ's increasingly bloated logic. It is an inevitable result caused by a large number of services.

Third, in addition to WeChat more and more services, there is actually a more critical factor that WeChat is becoming more and more like a quasi -system. What WeChat always wants to do is to be a brand new platform that can be transcended from the system. So we see that on the entire WeChat platform, WeChat actually has more and more service capabilities. In daily use, you can use almost no any app you need to use without leaving the WeChat platform, so in such a big background, WeChat has become more and more like an operating system. It is an inevitable result of the platform and systematic development of the platform. In the future, with the increasing tendency of WeChat, its overall bloated attributes may increase. Therefore, for the current WeChat, whether it can provide more services, so that users will not bring WeChat brings to WeChat. The troubles that the huge body may be the problem that WeChat must be solved.
