How Often Should You Restart Your Smartphone: An Important Rule You Probably Don't Follow

Did you know that your mobile device needs to be rebooted periodically?

No? Most likely, you reboot your smartphone only in extreme cases (for example, when the gadget “slows down” or completely “freezes”). And this is very bad!

It turns out that this action needs to be performed much more often.

So, the mobile phone needs to be rebooted once a week. And that's the minimum.

Why do you need to reboot your smartphone so often?

Periodic reboots significantly reduce the load on the device.

The mobile phone “rests” and then starts working fully: no “slowdowns” or “freezes”.

The service life of the battery is extended. It will not lose its ability to hold a charge for a long time anytime soon.

We conclude: the smartphone needs to be rebooted periodically. And this needs to be done at least once a week. And better - 2-3 times a week.

If you start following this rule, you may “extend the life” of your mobile phone by several years.

To consolidate the positive effect, sometimes replace a quick reboot with a shutdown for a few minutes: this way the smartphone “rests” longer.
