Honor Magic OS Unveils Feature to Safeguard WeChat Data During App Removal

Honor officially announced today on its Weibo account a new feature in its Magic OS system called “WeChat Uninstallation Reinforcement.” This innovation allows users to retain application data when uninstalling the WeChat app, ensuring that chat records, images, and files are not lost.

According to Honor’s introduction, when using Magic OS 10.0.116 or a later version, users can choose to keep their application data during WeChat uninstalls. After reinstalling the app, all previous data will automatically be restored without any user intervention. This feature aims to prevent heartbreak caused by losing important records.

However, it’s worth noting that the current seamless restoration upon reinstallation is only available for Magic OS 10.0.116 and above versions of the system. Additionally, this function can be used solely on the main WeChat account and not on secondary accounts or split-screen installations.

Furthermore, in a related story from IT之家 earlier reports indicated that Huawei’s HarmonyOS 6.0.0.112 also offers a similar feature for retaining data when uninstalling WeChat on devices such as Pura 80 and Mate 70 models. Upon reinstalling the app through the AppGallery (Huawei’s app store), users can recover their previous settings and chat history.
