How To Make Your Smartphone Faster

Hey friends, 

Are you using your smartphone for a few years?

Are you facing issues like delay response, battery drainage, heating problem?

Don't worry. Some tips can help you to run your smartphone much better.

Restart

Restart can clear many of the issues that might be slowing it down, like app caching running amok, network connectivity difficulties, and memory glitches. 

For an Android, the method can differ from phone to phone. For your iQOO device,  press and hold both the power button and the volume up button for one or two seconds until the following image you see.

Now click on the Restart option to restart your phone.

Uninstall Apps You’re Not Using

Your phone could be suffering from several issues due to too many apps installed. Not only can they slow things down by taking up a lot of storage, but they could also all be refreshing or running in the background. 

The first step is to check which apps you’re using.

On most Android devices, your iQOO device, you will be able to check your apps by going to Settings > Storage > Apps.

There you can see what apps you’re not using and you’ll be able to remove them by clicking Uninstall. To redownload any apps you miss, go to Google Play, click your profile, and then go to Manage Apps & Device > Manage. You’ll see all of your previously downloaded apps. 

Alternatively, Android also has an Auto Archive feature that leaves unused apps on your phone but removes their data and files until you start reusing them again. To turn it on Go to the Google Play Store, click on your profile, and then go to Settings > General > Automatically archive apps and toggle it to on. 

Update Remaining Apps

Now that you’re down to just the apps you use regularly, you should make sure you’re running the most optimized, efficient version of them. 

On an Android, open Google Play Store, select your profile, then head to Manage Apps & Device > Manage. Select Update next to all of the ones with available updates. 

Offload Photos

Photos and videos tend to take up the bulk of the storage space on a phone. You can go through them to see if there’s anything to delete or, if that’s too time-consuming, upload them all to a cloud service for backup. 

On an Android, go to Settings > Storage. You’ll be able to check Images and Video for how much storage they take up. 

You can use Google Photos to store images and videos. Either sign up for an account or sign into an existing one. Tap your account icon on the top right. Select Google Photos Settings > Back Up & Sync and toggle it on. Make sure Google Photos has access to Photos (Settings > Google Photos > Photos > All Photos) and then, every photo you take with your device will be automatically backed up to Google Photos when you're online and accessible across your devices and on the web.

Clear the Cache

All of these web pages you’ve visited and apps you’ve opened can leave behind trace bits of data that make your phone run slower.

On an Android, go to Settings > Storage > Apps.

There you can select each app and then Clear Cache. If you’re using Chrome as your browser, open the app, go to More, and then select Clear Browsing Data. 

Update the OS

The latest OS version is typically the most efficient one, so updating could give your phone some more zip. It will increase the speed of your phone with smooth using experience.

To update to the latest OS version for your Android, go to Settings > System > System Update. Remember 

Install Apps From Known Sources

Many Android apps look helpful, but in reality, they are fake and want to take control of your device and steal valuable personal data.

So, it is always better to install the apps only from known and trusted sources like Google Play Store. Also, you can enable this in the setting for the future. This is how to make android phones faster.

Turn off or Reduce Animations 

One other way to make your Android device faster is by reducing animations. However, you need to enable the Developer Options in your device to do this.

To take help from the Developer options, go to Settings > About phone and tap the build number seven times.

It will enable the developer option on your device. Now, you can disable or reduce the animations. Here, you can adjust the Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Doing this will reduce the time used to render the screen’s visual effects.

Extend Your Battery Life 

Adjusting screen brightness, turning off background apps, or activating battery saver mode can extend your phone's battery life. Charge your phone with Airplane mode on. Avoid using Monster mode or Ultra Game mode if not necessary. Always keep your Hotspot and Bluetooth off when not in use. All these improve your battery health.

Reset Your Device

If you feel that all the above steps are not much help for you, you can perform a factory reset on your device. You can reset your Android device in 2 ways:

1. Going to Settings: You can go to Settings and click on the factory reset option present there. By this method, you can perform a soft reset on your device, which involves resetting device settings and wiping all the data, including your photos, videos, apps, and cache.
2. Via Hard Reset: If you want deeper cleaning of your device, then you can go for this method. In this, you will need to boot into recovery mode and hard reset the device. After turning off your device, press the Power and Volume Down button together to get into the recovery mode. This is not for all smartphones, but it works in most of the cases. 

If you have any suggestion or tips regarding this, don't forget to remind through comments.

Happy Questing.
