How to improve the performance of your Galaxy device
Galaxy smartphones may slow down, freeze or crash for various reasons. The likely culprits are full storage space and outdated software. Here are some tips to try to get your Galaxy smartphone back up to working order.
Note: Screen images and menu items may vary depending on your model and software version.
Freeing up some storage can make your Galaxy smartphone perform better. Remove files and apps that need clearing out by using Device care.
