Choose what bothers you the most:

1. Battery running out too quickly

Symptoms:

• You charge in the morning and before lunch you already have less than 30% of charge.

Common causes:

• Apps running in the background
• Full charge cycles (0% to 100%) that wear out the battery

What to do:

1. Check battery consumption:

• Android: Settings > Battery > Battery Usage
• iOS: Settings > Battery

If any app has consumed more than 10% in the last 24 hours without active use, be suspicious.

2. Disable background refresh:

• Settings > General > Background App Refresh (for non-essential apps)

3. Smart charging:

• Keep the charge between 20% and 80%. This helps to extend the battery life.

2. Slow performance and constant crashes

Symptoms:

• Delayed touches, stuttering, general slowness.

Common causes:

• Cache full
• Heavy animations
• Multiple apps open at the same time

What to do:

1. Clearing cache:

• Android: Settings > Storage > Clear cache
• iOS: Reinstall heavy apps (Settings > General > Storage)

2. Reduce system animations:

• Android: Enable Developer Options > Scales by 0.5x
• iOS: Settings > Accessibility > Reduce Motion

3. Close apps running in the background:

• Android: Recent apps button > swipe to close
• iOS: AssistiveTouch or Home Button + Power > slide to end

3. Memory full and nothing fits in the gallery

Symptoms:

• Unable to take new photos or install apps

Common causes:

• Duplicate photos and videos
• Forgotten files in folders like Downloads and WhatsApp

What to do:

1. See what takes up space:

• Android: Settings > Storage
• iOS: Settings > General > iPhone Storage

2. Delete unnecessary files:

• Use Google Photos or iCloud to delete duplicate photos
• Clean WhatsApp Downloads and Groups (memes, audios, long videos)
