On December 29, in response to why the WeChat installation package has expanded several hundred times over the past 10 years, WeChat officially stated in a podcast that this is an objective situation. In response to user needs, WeChat provides more and more features. The code, logic, and resources it requires, such as images, emoticons, etc., will objectively increase the size of the installation package, but the installation package will not grow indefinitely, and WeChat continues to be optimized. Recently, the Android version of WeChat has also continued to decline in the size of the installation package. Furthermore, WeChat said that for many users who are bothered by lack of space, the root cause of the problem may be chat history. WeChat accounts for an average of 70% of chat history for users that take up 40GB or more of space.
