If you paid a lot of money for your Android phone, it can be really annoying when it lags or performs poorly.
There are three secret options on your device that you may adjust to improve performance if you are experiencing slow app loading times or a slow device overall.
Limit background processes
Numerous background-running apps are one of the main causes of slow phone performance. Even when you are not using them, these apps are continuously using resources, which can cause your phone to slow down. Fortunately, Android comes with a built-in feature to limit background activity.
You can experiment with different values to find the one that works best for your device.
By reducing background activity for apps that are not used frequently, you can free up resources for the apps that you do use, which will make your experience faster and smoother.
To test this feature, go to Settings and then select Developer Options. From there, tap on Background Process Limit and set a process limit between 0 and 4.
Remove old files
One of the best ways to make your device feel brand new is to remove all of your old apps and files.
These take up valuable space and no longer serve any purpose for you.
The easiest way to manage the storage on your phone is to use the Files app, which you can access by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to open the Android app drawer, then tap My Files (also known as File Manager).
From there, you can access your downloads, documents, images, audio, and other files.
Disable location services for better performance.
You can see which apps are using location on your iPhone by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Many smartphone apps use your location to improve your experience while using them.
However, this service frequently drains your phone’s battery and ultimately shortens its lifespan.
By turning it off, you not only better secure your privacy but also improve your phone’s battery life.

Six days after Android 17’s stable rollout began on June 16, a growing number of Pixel owners are dealing with a touchscreen bug that makes their devices genuinely unreliable.

Motorola Quick Launch lets users double-tap the back of the phone to trigger a custom action without touching the screen. According to AT&T’s support documentation for the Razr+ 2025, when Quick Launch is enabled, that double-tap can perform actions like taking a screenshot or returning to the home screen. That specific wording — “certain options […]
If a Samsung phone occasionally shows a small flashing dot – or several – on the display, the proximity sensor is almost certainly the cause. These dots typically appear near the top center of the screen and become most visible during phone calls, when the under-display sensor is actively working. It’s worth distinguishing these from […]
Samsung builds the Galaxy Watch on the assumption that most people want some level of health and fitness tracking. That may be true for many users – but even if it describes you, there are several health settings running in the background that you might never actually check. If that data isn’t being used, there’s […]
Portable tech exists on a spectrum. A desktop setup stays home. A laptop travels. A phone handles the street-level stuff. And when even pulling out a phone to skip a song feels like too much effort, a smartwatch steps in. It’s the layer of tech that lives on your wrist, always available without the friction. […]
Before USB-C came along in 2014, smartphones relied on mini USB, micro USB, or Apple’s proprietary Lightning port. Android devices made the switch to USB-C early on — the Nokia N1 tablet was one of the first devices to feature the reversible connector — and Apple eventually followed suit, dropping Lightning with the iPhone 15 […]
