If you use the "+" icon in WeChat to select your screen recording, WeChat will compress your
video. If compression fails, your recording will not be sent. Even if your recording is sent, the
resolution will decrease significantly due to compression. We therefore recommend that you
do not use this method to send your videos in WeChat.
3.4.8 Motion control often fails to work properly when
starting/stopping a screen recording. Why?
Check that motion control is enabled for smart screenshot and screen recording. For smart
screenshot, go to Settings > Smart assistance > Motion control > Smart screenshot.
Your phone's gravity sensor must register your knuckle gesture in order for the motion control
feature to work properly. If you only touch very lightly on the screen, the gravity sensor will
not register your gesture. Try touching slightly harder on the screen (similar to how you
would knock on a door). Practice touching twice on the screen with two knuckles to start/stop
screen recordings.
3.4.9 Why can't I play screen recordings in full-screen mode on
my phone (or my friend's phone)?
Make sure that you are using your phone's default video player. Some online video players are
unable to detect the video orientation automatically, therefore you will not be able to play the
video in full-screen mode.
3.5 Phone Manager
3.5.1 Why doesn't the pre-installed Phone Manager block some
unwanted calls?
The Phone Manager can only block calls from numbers in the blacklist, unknown contacts, or
contacts with hidden numbers. Also, this needs to be set up in advance the Phone Manager.
The present version of Phone Manager cannot filter calls based on parts of phone numbers
and it does not keep records of blocked calls. If you really need these features, we recommend
downloading a similar third-party application.
3.5.2 Why doesn't Phone Manager intercept multimedia
messages?
Phone Manager does not support intercepting multimedia messages at present.
3.5.3 When sharing images or links, what can I do if my phone
shows a notification saying that the third-party application (like
WeChat) is not installed?
When sharing things, if your phone displays something like the following image, please
follow the method listed below to troubleshoot the problem.
