And we all know, that to have a fast internet speed connection requires types of equipment such as a strong Wi-Fi connection, RAM of 4+, a large space, and other advanced equipment.
Well, this equipment is costly to some while others require experts to use. Thanks to the new modern phones that have been built with ways to solve the Internet speed issue,
1. Space
Having a very low space on your phone slows the phone’s activity which causes lagging. An external space does not do anything until you reduce the internal space.
It’s advisable to reduce space by deleting useful, junk content or transferring it to the cloud or your email.
2. Number and size
It’s advisable to know the content size and how many are in the download list when downloading content.
A larger content whether 2 or more will take longer to download while many files with larger sizes take longer too.
According to my research, an average phone can download a 250Mb file with a speed of 700k/s in less than 5 minutes. This is acquired when there is ample space and a large RAM to increase your Internet Speed.
3. Phone browser
Use Phoenix and Chrome browsers since they can still download when the phone is asleep or locked.
This can enable you to do other activities you wish to do since no one likes to stare at the phone all the time.
4. System update
It is advisable to upgrade your phone regularly to enable phone activity speed increase.
Regular updates of apps are required too for boosting phone activity.
Updates of apps not from the Google Play Store increase the risk of phone damage.
5.Check Your Internet Plan
Ensure your mobile plan provides sufficient bandwidth. Sometimes slow speeds are due to the limitations of the data plan itself.
6. Switch Between Networks (4G/5G/Wi-Fi)
- Mobile Data: Switch to a 4G or 5G network if your phone supports it.
- Wi-Fi: Connect to a Wi-Fi network if possible, especially if mobile data is slower.
- Reset Connections: Turn on and off Airplane mode to reset network connections.
7. Clear Cache
Over time, apps and browsers store temporary files that can slow down your internet. Clear your browser cache and app data to boost speed.
- For Android: Settings > Storage > Cached data > Clear cache
- For iOS: Clear cache via individual app settings or reinstall apps.
8. Limit Background App Activity
Background apps can consume bandwidth. Disable auto-syncing or background refresh for apps you’re not using actively.
- For Android: Settings > Data Usage > Restrict background data
- For iOS: Settings > General > Background App Refresh > Disable for selected apps
9. Use a Faster DNS
Changing the DNS (Domain Name System) settings can improve your internet speed.
- For Android: Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Long press your Wi-Fi network > Modify Network > Advanced > Set to static IP and enter a new DNS (Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
- For iOS: Settings > Wi-Fi > Click your Wi-Fi network > DNS > Set to manual and enter Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
10. Update Apps and System Software
Ensure your phone’s software and apps are up to date, as updates often come with performance improvements.
11. Disable Auto-Downloads and Updates
Disable automatic app updates or large downloads while using mobile data to free up bandwidth for browsing.
- For Android: Play Store > Settings > Auto-update apps > Choose ‘Over Wi-Fi only’
- For iOS: Settings > iTunes & App Store > Disable ‘Updates’ under Automatic Downloads
12. Disable Data Saver Mode
Many phones have data-saving modes that throttle your internet speed. Ensure this mode is off.
- For Android: Settings > Network & Internet > Data Saver > Off
- For iOS: Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Low Data Mode > Off
13. Close Unused Apps
Closing apps running in the background can help free up bandwidth, improving internet speed.
14. Use a Lightweight Browser
Switch to a browser that is optimized for speed, like Google Chrome Lite or Opera Mini, especially if your connection is weak.
By following these tips, you should notice a marked improvement in your phone’s internet speed.
