Huawei / Xiaomi is not used to it, Wechat iOS / Android 8.0.30 official version finally fixed the problem of multiple preservation of forwarded files.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Bai Zhantang for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 11 (Xinhua) Wechat, as a national-level application, seems to have been inhumane in file management. For example, when a user forwards a file, the file will be copied directly, and in the long run, users' storage will be filled with duplicate files.

According to the test of bilibili UP master @ Xuanli 199, Wechat finally fixed this problem in version 8.0.30, but only in iOS and Android versions, the desktop version still hasn't solved it.

According to tests, after Wechat is upgraded to version 8.0.30, users need to restart Wechat completely and will adopt a new file forwarding strategy. The new file forwarding strategy will only generate a new file containing the original file ID, so it won't take up much of the phone's storage.

CTOnews.com learned that both Huawei and Xiaomi have made system-level optimizations for Wechat's duplicate file operation, and Huawei has introduced "hyperspace compression technology" in Mate 50 to remove duplicate files.

And Xiaomi in the latest release of MIUI 14, also launched a system-level duplicate file merge function, multiple forwarding and merging one.

After the official fix of Wechat, users of other brands of mobile phones are finally free from this problem.
