  1. A Virus is Affecting Your Phone

This is a worst-case scenario, but malware or other harmful data may be clogging your device, preventing it from running smoothly. When a user explores untrustworthy apps or websites, it provides an opportunity for harmful viruses to enter the device, threatening personal information as well as the hardware itself. Performing periodic virus checks is essential to maintaining the proper health of your Android. Click here to run a Full Virus Scan on your device to check for any security threats:

Is your phone constantly updating you with notifications for texts and emails? That could be the issue. If it is not necessary for push notifications or app updates to remain on, shut them off in settings. That way, the device will not take extra steps to send alerts that can eat up RAM and memory. This will also come in handy when traveling because it will remove the temptation to check your phone while driving or navigating, increasing the safety of everyone involved.

Solutions can be achieved in a variety of ways, including item transfers, deleting apps, changing certain application features, or even basic device functions such as brightness and notifications. By taking the necessary actions to preserve your Android, crashes will be nonexistent and it will allow for smooth operations until the next upgrade!
