Performance Impact

The Whatfix Mobile SDK does not affect the application performance, as it uses low-level OS APIs to optimize its performance.

Battery Consumption

The Whatfix Mobile SDK works at a very low sample rate, so it does not affect your app’s battery consumption.

CPU/GPU

  • The Whatfix Mobile SDK is designed and built to run with as minimal a footprint as possible. 
  • For iOS, in a benchmark made on iPhone 12 pro, the average CPU spike was around 15-20%. 
  • In a benchmark made on Oneplus 6T for Android, the average CPU spike was around 15-16%.

Network

The Whatfix Mobile SDK sends data to the backend to better trace the end-user journey and facilitate Segmentation. The SDK network consumption for an average session depends on the number of campaigns and goals in the implementation:
