1. UPDATE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM
If your smartphone is running slower than usual, then your
operating system (or OS) might not be up-to-date. Having
the latest version of iOS or Android on your phone is the
best way to ensure it works at its zippiest. Just make sure
your phone is connected to Wi-Fi and backed up before
you update your phone's software, and make sure that your
phone can handle it. Newer operating systems might not
be optimized for older or lower-cost phones.

help you organize your virtual
and real environments.
2. DELETE APPS AND TEXTS
You probably have way too many apps on
your smartphone. We all download apps
without even thinking about it. After some
testing we realize they are no good, and it's
normal to simply forget about these appls
and leave them roaming around. Get rid
of them. They take up space and are often
running in the background which depletes
your battery life.
Think about deleting those 5 year old texts
with directions for the restaurant that you
went to once. Those take up space and
will slow your phone as well.
For Android users, there's 1Tap Cleaner, an
app that earns its name. The app gathers

that data in one place, letting you decide
what to keep. Most of us are surprised
how many outdated messages and URLs
get archived, a data stream that we will
probably never refer to again. Then again,
you do want to make sure irreplaceable bits
(landmark texts, unsaved photos) survive
the deep clean.
iPhones don't have an equivalent app to
1Tap Cleaner, so you'll have to remove the
surplus manually. Luckily, iPhone makes it
pretty easy.
