How to Speed up My Phone?

If your phone becomes slow all of sudden, you can try the following methods.

1. Close all apps

Like PC, too many apps running at the same time will slow down the speed of your phone. Close all of them will relieve the issues temporarily.

For most phones, you can close an app by going back to Home Screen, swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing in the middle of the screen, swiping right or left to find the app that you want to close, and then swiping up on the app’s preview to close the app.

2. Free up some storage

As time goes on, your phone may have stored many photos, videos, games, and apps. Deleting these items can help you speed up your phone.

For iPhones, please go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Then, you can save space through the “Offload Unused Apps” and “Review Large Attachments” functions. Then can help you delete apps, pictures, and videos that you don’t want.

In addition, if you use Safari as your web browser, please return to the main Settings menu and scroll down to Safari. Tap “Clear History and Website Data” to clear the cache.

For Android phones, please go to Settings > Storage and then click the “Free Up Space” button at the top. To clear your cache, please go to Settings > Find Apps, then locate the app and click the “Clear Cache” button.

For iPhones, please go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. For Android phones, you need to use an app like AccuBattery to check battery health. If the battery goes bad, you should replace it.
