If your mobile keeps hanging, running slowly, or showing “Storage Full” repeatedly, this guide will help you fix the problem permanently. In this article, we will cover 2–3 important mobile settings that most users don’t know about — but once you enable them, your phone will run smoother, faster, and more securely.
Let’s get started!
1. Disable Auto-Update for Apps
Many people don’t know that apps on their phone update automatically in the background. These updates can be hundreds of MBs, and when they install without your permission, your storage fills up quickly — even if the apps are not helpful.
How to Turn Off Auto App Updates
Follow these steps:
- Open Google Play Store
- Tap on your Profile Icon at the top-right
- Scroll down and select Settings
- Tap on Network Preferences
- Now select Auto-Update Apps
- Choose: Don’t Auto-Update Apps
Why You Should Do This
- Prevents unnecessary storage usage
- Stops useless apps from updating
- Saves mobile data & battery
- Keeps the phone from slowing down during background updates
This one setting alone can save hundreds of MBs on your phone!
2. Install & Use Phone Manager / Phone Master App
Most Android phones have a built-in app called Phone Manager, Phone Master, or Phone Space Cleaner.
If your device doesn’t have it, download one from the Play Store by searching:
- “Phone Manager”
- “Phone Master”
- “Phone Cleaner”
What Does Phone Manager Do?
Phone Manager helps you:
- Clean junk files
- Free storage
- Remove unnecessary system cache
- Close background apps
- Scan harmful or virus-infected apps
- Boost your phone performance
How to Use Phone Manager (Step-by-Step)
- Open Phone Manager
- Let it scan your phone
- You will see how much unnecessary storage is available (e.g., 572 MB junk files)
- Click Clean to remove all junk files
- Go to the Optimize option
- Let the app scan again
- Your phone will reach 100% optimization
Once optimized, your phone will run faster and smoothly.
3. Check for Harmful or Useless Apps & Uninstall Them
Sometimes your phone hangs because of:
- Fake apps
- Unknown third-party apps
- Apps infected with malware
- Apps running in the background
- Apps using too much storage
How to Scan & Remove Bad Apps
Inside Phone Manager, there is usually a section for:
- “Security Scan”
- “Virus Scan”
- “App Cleanup”
When you scan:
- If useless or harmful apps appear
- Tap Uninstall
- Remove them from your device immediately
This helps protect your phone from viruses and boosts performance.
4. Keep Your Mobile Optimized Daily
The Phone Manager app has an Optimize button. You should press this every day so that:
- RAM becomes free
- Background apps close
- Cache clears
- Phone performance improves
Daily optimization keeps your device running smoothly and quickly.
Final Words
By following these simple settings:
✔ Disable auto-update of apps
✔ Clean storage using Phone Manager
✔ Optimize your phone regularly
✔ Delete useless and harmful apps
Your mobile will:
- Stop hanging
