You will agree with me that the performance of a device when newly bought will definitely be different from its performance after some days or months .
Generally, the performance of an Android phone depreciate after a couple of months. Because of this, many android users top search on internet is “how to make Android phone faster?”, “What can I do to boost the performance of my Android phone”.
Of course, you can’t do without installing some useful Applications on your phone especially for those using their phone to make money online, you install games incase you feel bored , snap pictures, download different files etc on the phone. Gradually, the storage of your phone reduces and many things start to develop on the phone as time goes on like hanging, getting hot and freezing.
There are things you can do to boost the performance of your phone and make it look like you just get it.
1. Free up some space on your Phone.
The beautiful thing about android phone is that, when you’re running out of space on your phone, there would be a notification at the top bar of your phone, telling you, that you’re running out of storage or you’ve ran out of space. Or maybe you want to download any app on play store, there would be a pop up telling you to delete or uninstall some apps before proceeding. Many android users encounter this alot. It’s so good to always check your storage space on settings and uninstall some unused app.
Here is how to get to your storage on your mobile device
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Storage or search for “storage” in the Settings search bar.
- At the bottom, tap “Clean Up” and it will take you to where you will clean up some files.
2. Uninstall unused apps
Unused app should not be kept on phone if not used, it will just occupy the storage space on phone and then makes your device slow in operation and freeze. You can uninstall app in two way.
- You can long press the app to uninstall and either drag it up to uninstall or tap uninstall on your screen if pop up.
- You can go to play store, search for the app and uninstall it there.
3. Restart your phone
If you notice that your phone is freezing, hanging which is due to low storage, you can restart your phone to free up some space. Rebooting can free up resources being used to run apps in the background. Restarting is simple and one of the most effective way to boost the performance of your phone.
4. Update to the latest software
Updating your system software to the latest will not only boost the performance of your phone but also help to free up system resources on your device, which in turn could help by making your device fast to operate or app loading times. Google optimizes Android with every new release.To do this;
- Go to your phone settings.
- Scroll down and tap “system and updates”
- Tap software updates and follow the steps displayed .
Most Android users don’t do this because they don’t even know their phone software needs updating and it’s very effective. If you’re the type that doesn’t check system updates often, once you check it, you will see that there is a number in front of “software updates” in settings like a notification, telling you that you need to update.
5. Factory reset
After trying all the above ways and yet, you’re still running out of space time to time, then factory resetting it should be the next and last option. Factory reset simply means making your device looks like the way you got it. Factory resets are also called ‘formatting’ or ‘hard resets’.
Note : If you’re going for factory reset option, make sure some important files or documents on your phone is backup because factory reseting them without backing them up will make you loose all the documents. Infact, everything on your device will wipe away and looks empty.You can factory reset your phone or SD card, whichever one you know that the storage is low. But make sure you backup all important stuff because you can’t retrieve it again after you factory reset your device.
6. Using third part app to clean your phone.
A third party app can also be use to clean up and free up some space on your device. You can get these apps on play store.
