2. Technical limitations

1.System permission differences: Android/iOS systems have strict permission controls on background wake-up screens, and WeChat adopts conservative strategies to avoid being judged as excessive power consumption.

2.Different push mechanisms: Traditional text messages go through system-level channels, while WeChat messages rely on network push. Triggering the screen flash requires additional permission application.
