But because these complex machines expend a lot of energy, sometimes they can slow down.

It can be frustrating when your smartphone lags or doesn’t move as fast as you want it to.

Thankfully, there are a number of ways you can boost its performance.

Below we have outlined a few tips you can try to speed up your phone today.

RESTART YOUR DEVICE

Restarting your phone should be the first thing you do to troubleshoot any issue with your Pixel phone.

To do this on Pixel 5a and earlier, press your phone’s Power button for about 30 seconds, or until your phone restarts.

And on Pixel 6 and later, press and hold the Power and Volume up buttons for a few seconds and tap Restart.

UPDATE SOFTWARE

Sometimes your phone may be lagging due to a bug or a glitch.

The best way to target such problems is to update your software.

First, open your phone’s Settings app, and then near the bottom, tap System.

Scroll until you locate System update – here, you will see your phone’s update status, just follow the steps on the screen.

CHECK STORAGE

It might be the case that your phone is slowing down because its storage is at capacity.

To check this, open your phone’s Settings app and tap on Storage.

If your phone has less than 10 percent of storage available, then issues tend to arise.

You can free up space by using a microSD card, which will expand the amount of media and apps you can keep on your phone.

In turn, this allows you to transfer large amounts of data from your phone to other devices.
