Some people are buying a new phone thinking that the old phone will not be the same, after using it for several years and noticing the slowness it has become.

But before you decide, you have to take five simple steps to boost the speed of your smartphone and return it to the way it was, according to the British newspaper The Mirror.

Clear the cached data

A cache is a storage system in your smartphone that gives the device data from previous uses, and when it's full, the device will have to check the entire memory for the required data, which can be a major source of attrition at load times.

If you clear the space in the phone cache, the effect will be noticeable, especially when you open web pages, use apps and other phone functions.

Manage your apps

If you don't manage your apps effectively, they can drain your phone's performance, if you delete any unused apps, memory will be released, and your device processor will perform better.

It is recommended that regularly updated apps such as Twitter and Facebook be permanently deleted, because older updates do not delete and increase memory volume.

Operating system update

If your smartphone is using an older operating system, it can slow down your device, as updating your device with the latest version of the system is useful, and if your phone is using an old operating system, it can slow down your device.

It is therefore very important that the device be updated with the latest version of the operating system, as this will keep the device fast.

Performance-enhancing apps

There are many apps you can download to help improve your phone's performance, reducing the amount of time apps take when they run.

There are also apps that help clear the cache space.

Battery replacement

This is the latest step if previous steps don't help increase the phone's speed, as battery replacement can help.

Over time, smartphones are draining their battery significantly, which is why an old or ineffective battery can cause performance problems and must be replaced to ensure that the phone is operated as efficiently as possible.
