Why is my Android phone slow?

Short answer: Check storage, updates and recently installed apps first.

Try these steps

  1. Restart the phone and confirm the issue is not just a slow connection.
  2. Review available storage and install Android and Play Store app updates.
  3. If the problem began after a new app, review that app and use the manufacturer’s safe-mode instructions if necessary.

When to ask for help

Avoid factory reset as a first step. Verify a backup before any reset.
