 Ways To Make Your Smartphone Speedy

About:

 Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. However, with everyday usage, mobile phones tend to slow down with time. Of course, every gadget at the end of the day will start lagging eventually, and a mobile device is no different. This can often get annoying, mainly at the time when most of us are working from home and are depending a lot on our smartphones to complete day-to-day tasks. This means it important for our smartphones to run smoothly.

Clear the cached data

Every task you perform on a phone leaves a trace. All of these build up as cache in the RAM. Clearing the junk can help reclaim the speed back. Apps and other tasks leave a trace so they can open faster, however, this takes up space and leaves less RAM for the tasks you want to perform later on. To clear the cache, go to Settings > Storage > Cache. Tap on the Cache option, and the device will ask, if you want to clear the cache partition, click on confirm.

Disable animations

Animations and transitions are pleasing to the eyes but the phone requires a lot of resources to make the UI look fluid. Eventually, these animations get jittery. Turning off animations makes the UI look much better, at the same time saves up some processing power.

To disable animations, head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap Build number until you see a pop-up intimating that Developer options have been enabled > Go back to the main Settings page > Open Developer options > Windows animation scale > Animations off. Turn off Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale in the Developers options.

Remove bloatware, unused apps

Smartphones pack a lot of bloatware that might not be useful for you. Moreover, you might also have installed a few apps that you do not use anymore. All of these apps take up space inside of your phone, have cache traces and take up screen real estate also, hence slowing down your device. To fix this, just give your device a clean sweep by looking for unwanted apps and uninstalling them. If you cannot uninstall them by disabling.


Turn on Data Saver on Chrome

Chrome as a web browser is extremely capable and one amongst the best to use. In terms of optimizations, it is not as robust as a few other options available in the market. As it comes pre-installed on most phones and how integrated we are in the Google ecosystem, most do not shift browsers

Do not use live wallpapers

Live wallpapers look amazing but require several CPU cycles to run. This puts stress on the CPU and the battery, making the device slower and less efficient. It is recommended you put a static photo as phone wallpaper to save on resources.
