1. Installation package not used after installing appAPKDelete in time
Mobile phones and personal computers have a lot in common, and many of them have the same maintenance methods.Many ROMs improved by mobile phone manufacturers are very considerate. Generally, after installing an app, you will be prompted whether to delete the installation package. If there is no other use, you can delete it immediately. If the phone does not have this function, you can also delete it manually.
2. Clean cache regularly
Long term use of social applications will generate a lot of caches, and the applications themselves will not be deleted. Long term use of social applications will accumulate a lot of caches, take up storage space and cause a jam. Therefore, you can use the clear cache function in the application management in the phone settings to delete.You can also use the system with garbage cleaning function to maintain the app.It can also be uninstalled and reinstalled once.
3. Close unused programs in time when using
Although the Android system will automatically end some processes when memory is tight, in practical applications, you should be aware of taking precautions. Usually, you can easily end the currently unavailable apps in the multitask switching interface, and release the mobile phone's currentRunning memory, which is not only conducive to the efficient operation of mobile phones, but also prevents the traffic loss of its background software running in vain.
4. Use web version instead of client
Most websites want users to download their clients. For some websites, there is no need to use apps at all. It can be solved by using the web version with mobile browser, without affecting smooth and normal operation. Therefore, this can save some local storage space and avoid bad binding downloads and toxic software of the corresponding website clients.
5. Use tools to strictly control app permissions
Some apps often self start because self start permissions and related permissions are not strictly controlled.Generally, mobile phones can be managed with built-in permission management tools without root.Note that some applications are not allowed to start.If such tools are not built in, you can also root manually, but you should pay attention to the problems such as selecting reliable root tools, and the possibility of no warranty after root.[5]
