How often do I need to restart my smartphone?

On the Internet, you can often find tips to regularly restart your smartphone. Usually recommend do this once a week, with some sources offer do not turn on the device immediately, but hold it off for a minute or more. This is explained by the fact that supposedly the smartphone needs time to clear the RAM - although in fact the reset occurs during system startup, and there is no point in waiting.

In this case, how often do you actually need to reboot the device? Depends on the specific device and how and for how long you use it. Although modern models manage RAM quite well and quietly terminate old processes without the user noticing, no system is perfect and still cannot do without overloads.

Here's when to restart your smartphone yourself:

1. Smartphone hovered and does not respond to pressing.
2. The application does not open or crashes immediately after launch.
3. Have you noticed that the smartphone has become slower: applications and games slow down, system animations are no longer smooth.

In addition, restarting your smartphone is the first thing to do if you find any problems with the device: from

overheating and fast detente battery to problems with the camera or other smartphone components.

To summarize: you will understand when the smartphone is "tired" and needs to reboot. At the same time, there is no point in making this process regular. This does not lengthen the battery life or make the smartphone smoother (assuming the RAM is not overloaded).
