Is your smartphone running slow and making you grind your teeth? 😵 Do you dream of trouble-free phone usage but don't know where to start tidying up? We're rushing in with a handful of tips! 🏃

How to speed up your mobile phone?

The first method is mainly for those who prefer non-invasive and simple solutions. To begin, we suggest tidying up your phone. 🧹 Make sure to regularly clean your smartphone of unnecessary photos, files, or information.

Have you ever taken a screenshot, used it once, and forgotten about it? That's the kind of cleaning we mean! 🦸 Clear your call logs and SMS messages. Also, check the files in your phone's memory and delete unused items. You can back up your souvenir vacation photos ⛱️ or memories from your favorite restaurants 🍜 to an external drive. And what about music? 🎵 We usually use online apps, and downloaded tracks just unnecessarily clog up memory and slow down the phone. Take a look at your app list and uninstall programs you haven't used in a long time

The actions mentioned above have a significant impact on the device's speed. After performing these few simple tasks, you'll notice… tidiness and a faster phone. Can't make up your mind about tidying up? Don't worry! No one said it would be easy. 😅 For the undecided, we recommend phone cleaning apps that will suggest what to remove.

How to speed up your phone for gaming?

You're one step away from victory, a few meters from the finish line, and suddenly… your phone slows down. 😱 This simply cannot happen!

Speed up your phone for gaming by following our advice:

  1. Remove the phone case before starting to play. Your phone can overheat during gameplay, and the case will slow down the dissipation of high temperatures. 🥵
  2. Restart your phone daily. 📱 A reboot significantly improves the device's operating speed.
  3. Close apps running in the background. Every app uses RAM, which you need for online games.
  4. Uninstall apps you haven't used in a long time.

For online gaming, you also need fast and reliable internet. 💪

 How to speed up internet on your phone?

  1. Try forcing an LTE or 5G connection in your settings. 
  2. Enable data saving mode.
  3. Turn off automatic app updates.

How to speed up an Android phone?

To improve the performance of your Android smartphone, you can also look into other functionalities. We'll tell you what's worth changing and how to speed up your phone. 🦸

Pay attention to:

  1. Widgets: they catch the eye but can cause quite a bit of chaos on your smartphone. 😱 These small squares provide real-time previews, e.g., of weather or air quality. Phones with lower performance can be heavily burdened by an excess of them. Consider whether you need all the widgets on your home screen. You might find that you don't use most of them at all.
  2. Launcher: this is an overlay on the system that every phone has. In older smartphones, you might have a poorly optimized and slow version. If you notice significant slowdowns, opt for a lighter launcher. You'll find the option to change the launcher in your phone's settings under the Personalization tab.
  3. Advanced background functions. These include:
    – gestures,
    – NFC communication,
    – pedometer,
    – enabled Wi-Fi.

If you're not using them at a given moment, it's worth turning them off. These options might seem to have minimal impact, but having several of them running can significantly burden your smartphone. You can find background functions by sliding down the top bar. That's where you can also click to turn them off.

How to speed up your phone: developer options

This feature allows for additional settings on your smartphone. You can find Developer Options on Android phones. By using these settings, you can change the device's interface and also have a real impact on improving performance.

How to speed up your phone this way? One of the appreciated features is the ability to change animation playback speed. Default settings can slow down the device, and you can adjust this function to your needs. 💪 Enabling dark mode in selected applications will also be effective. Developer options will increase smartphone performance for gaming.

One of the options is also USB debugging, which provides access to settings tools used by developers. If you're unsure how to use these settings, ask a professional for advice. 🤖 With some settings, your phone may become more vulnerable to malware. Read more about this topic and consider whether the actions are worth the risk.

How to speed up an Android phone without root?

Simply put, rooting means accessing the phone's core and device software. However, not everyone wants to delve that deeply, and easier and faster actions can also be helpful.

You can use another method without performing a so-called root. Manufacturers install apps on smartphones that cannot be removed without deeper system intervention. These apps can be easily disabled, which will stop automatic updates.

To disable apps:

  1. Turn off automatic updates in the Play Store.
  2. Go to Settings/App management.
  3. Find the app and select Disable or Uninstall update.
  4. Done! 🥳

You should know that you can re-enable apps at any time.

In conclusion, there are many ways to speed up your phone. 🚀 The first step should be cleaning your phone of unnecessary files and apps. Developer options and changing advanced background functions are also helpful.
