"Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET As a person who covers consumer tech for a living, I get to use a few dozen smartphones every year. While I almost always advise on which is the new best smartphone, the majority of consumers don't upgrade every year. I have friends and family who tell me they don't want to upgrade and ask, "How can I make my current phone faster?" I finally have an answer."
"Decluttering your Android phone can make it faster because it won't need to allocate resources to apps that are no longer in use. Uninstalling such APKs will lead to better resource management and thus, a faster phone. You can go to Settings > Storage > Apps to see the list of installed apps and uninstall the ones you no longer need. On the app screen, you can also long-press on such forgotten apps and go to App Info > Uninstall."
Many consumers keep Android phones for multiple years and experience performance slowdowns. The primary way to improve speed is to clear storage and remove clutter. Uninstall unused apps to prevent resource allocation to apps that are no longer used. Deleting forgotten APKs, temporary files, and long-forgotten photos frees space and improves system responsiveness. Navigate to Settings > Storage > Apps to view installed apps and uninstall unnecessary ones, or long-press app icons, select App Info, and choose Uninstall. These steps require no rooting and are accessible to both tech-savvy users and average consumers.
