Alcatel shares simple device tweaks which can improve your Smartphone's performance.

Ernst Wittmann, country manager of Alcatel Southern Africa, a telecommunications company, shared simple device tweaks which will put the bounce back into your Smartphone’s performance.

Check these out:

Restart your cellphone as this will be enough to sort out its performance issues.
Download the latest software updates and keep your device up to date.
Declutter your device by shutting down applications you are not using to free processing power and memory. Backup photographs, music and other files to a memory card or cloud service. Once you’ve moved the files, delete them off your device.
Reduce or disable background data on your cellphone.
Clear your application cache by deleting cached data on your device as this can slow your cellphone.
Turn off or reduce animations as this slows down your device’s performance.
Revert to factory settings on your device if all else fails. First do a device backup so you have copies of the important files and data on your cellphone.
