3 Reasons Your Android Is Slowing Down–And How to Fix It Instantly

Is there anything more frustrating than dealing with a super-slow phone? You’ve paid good money for your device and pay enough each month for service. You may even be on top of the apps that you download and those you avoid because they are known battery suckers. But sometimes you can’t avoid the inevitable slow-down that happens — with both iPhones and Android phones.
In the case of your Android, there are three big reasons why your phone could be experiencing a slow-down, according to Tech Expert Kay Velik at Nine Peaks Media. And the good news is: you can fix all three of these problems.
Insufficient Storage SpaceOne of the most common culprits behind a sluggish Android device is insufficient storage space, according to Velik. “When your device’s internal storage is nearly full, it can significantly impact its performance,” Velik says. “This is because Android needs a certain amount of free space to operate smoothly.”
To fix this issue, start by deleting unnecessary apps and clearing out cached data. Velik says you can also transfer large files and media to an external storage device or cloud storage service to free up space.
