Quick Fix for Messages Slowing a Mac

High CPU usage and solutions for Mac version information applications

The Mac version of the information application is convenient and easy to use. Mac users can communicate with other Macs, iPhones and iPads seamlessly, and even send text messages to Android users. However, the latest version of Mac information apps are known for randomly consuming a lot of CPU and slowing down Mac speed, even if the app is idle in the background.

We have previously introduced a variety of tips to fix high CPU usage and related slow performance issues for Mac information applications, but here we will introduce another quick tip to quickly fix the issue where information applications occupy a large amount of system resources when the Mac is idle.

Quick Repair Information Applications take up a lot of CPU while idle and cause Mac to slow down

If you find that the Mac version of information applications is taking up a lot of system resources, causing the Mac to slow down and consume too much CPU when it is idle, try the following steps:

1. Use Activity Monitor to determine if the Mac version of information application is consuming a large amount of idle CPU

2. Switch to the information app on your Mac

3. Click the green Close button to close all information windows. This will keep the Message app open, but will only close the Message window (all chats/conversations still exist, don't worry).

4. CPU usage will soon drop, slow performance will stop, and the Mac will return to normal use.

This method works for all versions of the Mac version of information applications, but may be particularly effective in macOS Sonoma and Ventura, because the high idle CPU problem persists even if the information window contains only text.

As we discussed earlier, one of the most common reasons why information applications are slow and take up a lot of Mac resources is that animated GIFs, stickers, and other information features are enabled on Mac. If you continue to experience issues that information applications cause slower Macs, you can use these tips to troubleshoot high CPU usage and slower Mac performance.

If you continue to have problems with the information app for Mac, or you are not using the app, you can turn off iMessage on your Mac completely at any time, which is more thorough than just quitting the app or closing the app window.
