01

Quick checks

  • Check storage and whether only one app is slow.
  • Look for an update or restore still running.
  • Check whether the phone is hot and limiting performance.
02

Safe next steps

  • Close the affected app and restart normally.
  • Install available stable app and system updates.
  • Free storage carefully if it is nearly full.
03

Before a reset or repair

  • If these checks do not change the symptom, consult the manufacturer's support before a reset.
