It's recommended to restart your phone at least once a week to clear memory, close background processes, and install system updates. This helps maintain optimal performance and can resolve minor glitches.
Modern smartphones manage background apps efficiently. Constantly closing apps can actually drain more battery as the system needs to reload them. Only close apps that are misbehaving or consuming excessive resources.
Delete unused apps, clear app caches, move photos/videos to cloud storage, delete old downloads, and use built-in storage optimization tools. Consider using external storage or upgrading to a higher capacity device if needed.
Public WiFi can be risky. Avoid accessing sensitive information, use HTTPS websites, consider using a VPN, and turn off auto-connect to WiFi networks. Use your mobile data for banking or shopping when possible.
Signs include unusual battery drain, slow performance, unexpected data usage, pop-up ads, apps crashing frequently, or unauthorized charges. Run a security scan and remove suspicious apps immediately.
