Is your Android phone feeling as slow as a snail? When you tap that home button and it takes ages to switch tasks, it’s time to put the pep back into your phone’s step.
Android devices are wonderful, but they do tend to slow down over time. Fear not, for we’ve gathered some effective tips to rev up your Android’s performance.
How can I solve my slow mobile problem?
Uninstall unused apps
Your Android has limited storage capacity, and a lack of free space can cause a sluggish performance.
If your device is bursting with unused apps, it’s time for a cleanup. Delete apps you no longer need, and for the ones you can’t part with, at least disable them. You can also consider moving apps to your SD card to free up internal memory.
Check out the below video for step-by-step instructions on how you can uninstall apps from your Android device.
Close Background Apps
Most Android devices have a bunch of background apps running, hogging resources. Use any task-killer Android apps to put these rogue apps to rest.
Closing unwanted background tasks will make your device zip along faster than ever.
Clear your app cache
Over time, your apps accumulate cached data that takes up precious storage space and slows your device down. You can manually clear the app cache, but it’s more efficient to use a dedicated app for this.
With just a tap or two, you can clear the cluttered cache and give your Android a speed boost.
Check out the below video for more information on clearing cache from your Android smartphones or tablet devices.
Limit the wallpapers and widgets
Widgets can be incredibly handy, but they also drain your battery and hamper performance. Reduce the number of widgets, especially data-intensive ones like Facebook.
If you don’t use a widget, lose it. Live wallpapers, though eye-catching, can slow your device and drain your battery. Opt for a static wallpaper to give your Android a speed boost.
Disable animations
Android hides some advanced settings that can supercharge your device.
To access them, go to Settings, tap on “About phone,” then tap “Build number” seven times. This will unlock developer options.
Here, you can disable animations to further speed up your Android.
Clear Specific Caches
When it comes to clearing caches, you can target specific ones. Examples include:
App cache: These are data caches created by apps to load faster. Clearing them can free up space.
System cache: This cache helps your device run efficiently. Cleaning it can improve performance.
Browser cache: Your browser stores data to load websites faster. Regularly clearing it can speed up browsing.
Identify Sluggish Apps
Some apps are notorious for slowing down Android devices.
Common culprits include:
- Facebook: It’s known for its resource-heavy nature.
- Weather apps: Constant updates can drain resources.
- Social media apps: Frequent background activity can impact performance.
