As your phone gets older, it stops working smoothly. It might freeze or take ages to load apps or just slow down general functionality. This is frustrating to the extent that you might consider buying a new device. However, the guide below will make you change your mind. If you do all the listed options, your Tecno phone will run faster just like a brand new one. Here is how you can make your Tecno phone run faster.
1. Clear App Cache
You need to clear your app Cache. This takes over 30 seconds. The cache is a memory storage area in the phone that stores copies of information that is likely to be needed in the near future. However, the continuous cache build-up will slow down the phone that is why you need to delete it. Go to Settings>Storage>Cached Data. You can also use a third-party app such as App Cache cleaner.
2. Free up Space
If your storage space is full with only 1 GB and below space available, then be assured that your phone will definitely slow down until you clear up some items. However, instead of deleting items, you can buy an SD card to supplement storage space. Also, back up your photos with the Google Photos app then clear photos in the gallery.
3. Update your System
Updating your phone to the latest Android software will definitely make your phone run faster. The new software comes with different features that help to enhance the phone’s functionality. Here is how you can update your phone.
4. Uninstall Apps
If you want your Tecno phone to run faster, then you need to uninstall apps that you rarely use. This will create more space on your device. Launch settings>app management>select app you want to uninstall.
5. Reset phone
Restarting your phone will shut down all processors, fore, and background apps. This will make your phone work faster. All you have to do is long-press the power button, then select Restart. Your phone will go off and in a few minutes, it will load again.
6. Deactivate Auto-sync
Disabling auto-sync on your phone will make it faster. However, you should be careful with the apps you choose to deactivate from auto-syncing. Go to Settings>Account>Select Account>then toggle off Automatically Sync Data.
7. Disable Animations
Deactivate animations to make your phone faster and save battery. Go to Settings>About phone>Build number>Developer Options>Window animation scale>Animation off>Select Transition Scale & Animation Duration Scale nad set if off. Also, disable Lock Screen Animations (30 seconds): Setting — Lock screen — Unlock effect — Choose None.
8. Switch to Factory Settings
Switching to factory settings will erase all data on your device including all malware that makes your phone run slow. This will make your phone brand new. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content. Before you erase all content, make sure that all-important information and documents are backed up on Google.
