Over time, any smartphone starts to slow down, but this can be fixed.

There are several recommendations that will help speed up the operation of the gadget.

You can start by clearing the internal memory of the device. This procedure is mandatory if there is less than 20% free space left on the phone.

You can delete old applications that you haven’t used for a long time, and transfer photos and videos to your computer or SD card.

Also, very often some of the “heaviest” folders are those related to instant messengers.

Clearing the cache helps speed up your smartphone. To do this, go to the "Applications" section. There you need to find the applications whose cache takes up the most space. Then just click "Clear cache".

Applications that run in the background can slow down your smartphone. If your phone is old, it will definitely slow down.

To solve the problem, you need to find such applications and simply turn off background processes.

Antivirus is needed in case you have a habit of clicking on suspicious links or downloading applications from untrusted sources.

If applications are downloaded only from Google Play or AppStore, then there is no particular need for an antivirus.

The same goes for apps that are designed to speed up your smartphone. In reality, they only make your phone work harder.

If the battery is old, it will become very hot, which increases the fire hazard.

In addition, an old battery reduces the performance of the device.

Therefore, replacing the battery is also part of the set of measures designed to speed up the operation of the smartphone.
