7 Settings You Should Change on Your Android for Better Performance

Enabling Developer Options provides access to settings that can enhance performance. Go to Settings > About Phone > Software information and tap Build Number seven times. Once activated, you can tweak animation scales and other performance-related settings.

Once Developer Options are enabled, go to Settings > Developer Options. Look for Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Set these to 0.5x or turn them off completely to make your device feel snappier.

Too many background processes can slow down your device. In Developer Options, find the Limit Background Processes setting. Set it to At most 4 processes or fewer to free up system resources and improve performance.

Optimizing battery settings can help prolong your device’s battery life and maintain performance. Go to Settings > (or - Device Care) and select 'Optimise now' to optimise your ‘Battery’, ‘Storage’, ‘Memory’ and ‘Security’. Additionally, use Adaptive Battery under the battery settings to limit battery usage for infrequently used apps.

Some devices come with a high-performance mode that optimizes settings for the best performance. Go to Settings > Device Care > Battery > Power mode (this may vary by manufacturer) and select High Performance to get the most out of your device.

Using your smartphone for extended periods can strain your eyes. Set your display to Dark Mode to save battery life and enable Eye Comfort Shield to reduce blue light exposure. Go to Settings > Display & brightness > Night Mode (or Blue Light Filter) and schedule it to turn on automatically from sunset to sunrise.

If you value privacy, you can stop seeing personalized ads. Go to Settings > Google > Ads and tap Delete advertising ID.
