On December 29, addressing the growing concerns over WeChat's storage usage, the official WeChat team offered insights in a fresh podcast installment. When queried about whether sharing the same file repeatedly on WeChat would cause redundant storage, the officials clarified that this was not the case. Specifically, in chat contexts, when users forward the identical file to numerous contacts, it doesn't result in multiple instances of the file being stored. WeChat leverages the 'hard link' functionality inherent in mobile phone operating systems. This ensures that just a single copy of any given file is retained, thereby preventing unnecessary consumption of storage space.
