1. Check that connection! An easy way of doing this is to use an app such as
Speedtest , which allows you to determine quickly how much your Wi-Fi or mobile network might be holding you back.
Connections can be affected by heavy congestion, peak hours or issues with the network provider or your data plan. Make sure to check with your provider about what coverage they are offering you — they might be able to offer something better!
2. Give your phone a spring-cleaning . Clear out your phone memory and make use of external storage where you can. On some devices, you can make sure all downloads end up on your SD card, or you could utilize services like Dropbox .
3. Be ruthless with your apps . Close any apps running in the background and keep an eye on how much data they are consuming. If you have an Android phone, download the data-saving Opera Max to manage app usage (such as setting expensive apps to only run on Wi-Fi) and compress your internet data across most apps
4. Disable auto-sync on other apps you are using. For example, if your email app is constantly automatically syncing with your account, this can drain resources.
5. Update your browser. Like kids in a candy store, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to available mobile browsers. Experiment with lightweight browsers like Opera Mini . The app crunches the size of websites you visit, so you still get the content you want, even in bad network conditions.
