# 6. Controlled experiment

Because there are so many switches that can affect notification performance, and there are differences between different systems, it is difficult to ask the user to help troubleshoot one by one. In this case, we suggest that a controlled experiment can be performed, namely:

inSame device and network environmentNext, test separatelyHardware device to call WeChat、WeChat friends call WeChat、WeChat Chat MessagesIf i can get a reminder.

  • If you can not receive the reminder, considering that users generally do not completely block WeChat chat messages, at this time the probability is a network problem, resulting in the message can not be received on time.
  • ifWeChat Chat MessagesCan receive,Hardware device to call WeChatandWeChat friends call WeChatNot received, at this time, the high probability is that the user's configuration is wrong, resulting in the message is not properly displayed after receiving. for iOS Users, it is recommended that priority be given to confirm whether it is1.1 PC WeChat closed mobile phone notificationThe situation.

At this point it may beHardware device to call WeChatThere is a problem with the reminder (such as a Mini Program failed to start, etc.), it is recommended to refer to the 7 Section feedback to us.

If it is the case for a period of time after testing the lock screen, avoid operating the phone during the test. In order to avoid the device to exit the power saving or sleep mode, the test environment changes.
