Quick checks

  • Restart the phone.
  • Free up storage space.
  • Update apps and system software.
  • Delete unused apps.
  • Check battery health or battery usage.
  • Check for overheating or water damage history.

When repair may help

If the phone slows down with shutdowns, heat, charging problems or poor battery health, a battery or hardware check may help more than deleting apps.
