Re: Most Common Android Problems And Their Solutions by EarthXmetahuman: 7:40pm On Mar 15, 2018
Taaa

If there is anything I have learnt after years of using Android os, it is to keep as little apps as possible.
Only keep social media you frequently use, and not downloading all social media you can find on play store.
Use your browser to visit social media you don't use frequently instead of having the entire app.


All the du doctors or app cleaners do more damages than good. They use too much resources that in the end slows your phone.
New android os, from noughat upward already created ways of optimizing those background apps anyway.



Use lite keyboards.

And always block ads.

Thanks for the write up, it's gonna be useful.

Someone saying you should keep down the number of apps installed, that's for those using their phone for personal only, if you do some business with your phone, there is a limit to how you can manage installed apps.

However, my phone has preinstalled mobile cleanup, that's helped to constantly clean up some lag/junk files on my device
