If you have noticed that your cell phone, either Android Or iPhone, it is working slowly, it is likely that the time has come to apply some tricks to improve your performance and return the usual speed.
Google has shared a series of useful steps for these cases. The first and most basic is to restart the phone.
Although it may seem a simple solution, the company recommends doing it because, when restarting, the system closes background processes, releases memory and can solve minor failures that affect the general operation of the device.
Google also recommends the following steps to correct the slowness of the phone:
- Check if there are pending updates of the operating system.
Another key step to improve cell phone performance is to check if there are pending updates of the operating system.
Both Android and iPhone, manufacturers periodically launch new versions of the system that not only add functions, also They correct errors, optimize the use of resources and reinforce the security of the device.
Having the updated system guarantees that the cell phone works more fluently and is compatible with the latest versions of applications. In many cases, an update can solve problems of slowness, unexpected closures or failures when opening certain apps.
To verify it, in Android you must go to ‘configuration’> ‘system’> ‘update of the system’, and on iPhone, to ‘configuration’> ” ” ” ‘software update’.
If there is a new version available, it is recommended to download it with WiFi connection and make sure you have enough battery or keep the device connected to the charger during the process.
- Check storage and release space.
Google warns that the phone may stop working correctly if it has less than 10% free storage space. The lack of space can generate slowness, system failures, closure of applications and even prevent the installation of updates or save new files.
-In most devices, It is possible to verify the space available from the configuration appalthough the exact route may vary according to the model and the version of the operating system.
Usually, on Android it is found in ‘configuration’> ‘storage’, while on iPhone it is accessed through ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ‘storage’.
Having sufficient free space allows the system to have margin to operate fluently, manage temporary files and maintain good general performance.
- Identify if an application is causing problems.
In Android, you can review this information from ‘configuration’> ‘battery’> ‘battery use’ or ‘configuration’> ‘applications’. There are the apps that consume more resources, either energy, storage or memory in the background.
If an application appears with abnormally high use, it is convenient to force its arresterase your cache or directly uninstall it to assess whether the problem disappears.
On iPhone, you must go to ‘configuration’> ‘battery’ to see what applications are using more energy. It is also useful to check ‘configuration’> ” ‘>’ iPhone storage ‘to detect apps that occupy too much space or that have not been used in a long time.
- Restore the factory settings.
As a last measure, Google recommends restoring device factory configuration. This action completely erases all the phone data, including applications, photos, files and personalized configurations, and returns it to the original state in which it left the factory.
Resting the cell phone can be useful when the device has persistent failuresas extreme slowness, system errors, constant blockages or anomalous behavior that is not resolved with other methods.
It is also a valid option if you want to prepare the phone for sale or delivery to another person.
Before performing this step, it is essential to make a backup so as not to lose important information.
