A slow phone can make even the simplest tasks frustrating. Before thinking about a replacement, try these proven fixes.
1. Close apps running in the background
Many apps stay active even when you’re not using them, consuming memory and slowing down your device. Close everything you don’t need.
2. Restart your phone
Restarting clears temporary files, resets processes, and gives your phone a clean start.
3. Clear app cache and data
Social media apps are the biggest culprits. Clearing cache can significantly improve speed without deleting your account or content.
4. Free up storage space
Phones perform better when they have at least 10–20% free storage. Delete old media, downloads, or unused apps.
5. Install software updates
Updates fix bugs that cause lag and often make your device run faster.
