Mobile Tips: When should you factory reset your phone? Are you making this mistake too?

Phones inevitably experience minor issues, but it's not advisable to factory reset your phone for every little problem. After using a phone for a few years, its speed naturally slows down because we fill it with numerous files, thousands of photos and videos. This often makes it difficult for the phone to handle everything, resulting in the phone freezing and increased response time.

To avoid this problem, some people repeatedly perform factory resets, believing it will speed up their phone and restore it to its original state, just like when it was new out of the box. However, this isn't ideal because doing so repeatedly creates the hassle of transferring important files and reinstalling apps. Let's discuss the situations in which you should factory reset your phone.

When should you factory reset your phone?
Factory reset your phone when you are selling it or exchanging it for a new one.
If your phone starts freezing excessively, you can resort to a factory reset.
If a new software update is available, and you've updated your phone, but problems persist after the update, you can perform a factory reset.
Sometimes, we download something from a third-party site that introduces a virus or malware into the phone, causing problems. In such situations, you can also use a factory reset.
