Full Android memory? 5 tricks to free it

If your device starts to slow down or if you're already at the point where you can't download apps or new content because of the full memory, don’t worry, you're in the right place.

Although the new mobile phones are more and more capacious, as happens with your wardrobe, space never seems to be enough and in the end you will always find yourself having to struggle with memory problems but, if you read carefully and follow our simple tips, you can finally say goodbye to this inconvenient problem.

Why free up memory space?

If your smartphone still manages to take pictures but pop-ups continually tell you to free up space, don't ignore them. Having low memory on your mobile phone has the main consequence of not being able to add new content but it can lead to slowdowns that can make even the simplest actions long and complicated.

An example? Apps, especially the camera, can take several minutes to open, but that's not all. Keeping the available space under control is essential to ensure that your device works properly and above all it makes it last longer.

Tricks to free up the memory of your smartphone

Not having any of these problems just mentioned is not impossible, just have a little attention and follow some simple actions that will help you to preserve your smartphone. Let’s see how.

1. Make a backup

To avoid filling up the memory of your smartphone, it is useful to make a backup, especially for images and videos. Doing so is really simple and requires no app to install, thanks to Google Photos. This app makes it possible to save your photo gallery in the cloud and will help you keep your shots as well when you change your mobile phone.

Activating automatic backup on Android is really simple. You simply have to go to Settings> Backup> synchronization and check the Backup item. From that window you can schedule regular backups, so you can always have your shots at your fingertips.

2. Clear the cache

If you want to avoid piling up unnecessary data,from time to time clear the cached files.

The images, videos and links saved in this section are used by the phone to avoid long loads in the use of applications but, at the same time, end up burdening the memory.

To clear the cache you need to go to Apps > Settings > Storage and finally to Clean Cache.

3. Eliminate double photos

while looking for the perfect selfie or the best angle for your panorama, you will end up taking multiple photos of the same event. Keep only the best ones and immediately delete the ones you don't like.

Even Whatsapp chats, especially if you are part of many groups, can be a problem from this point of view and cause you to find yourself in the gallery clogged with double photographs. To solve this problem, try downloading Siftr Magic Cleaner, an app that scans the photos in your gallery in a few seconds and suggests those that appear duplicates to delete.

4. Use streaming apps

If you like listening to music or watching TV series from your smartphone, don't download episodes or songs. This doesn't mean giving up your tunes when you're on your way to work or while you're training. Just try to change the method.

Streaming apps are often free and allow you to enjoy your content without burdening your smartphone.

5. Use Lite apps

If you like having an app for everything you need, do a search before downloading. Most of the applications you use have a lite version, which is lighter not only in terms of memory but also in terms of data and battery consumption. Try to consider this type of app, which usually still lets you use essential functions but allows you to have a smoother mobile.
