Top 10 common mistakes that will kill your android phone!!!




 1. Closing Apps Frequently

Android has an effective mechanism to manage all the processes running simultaneously on your device. When you close an app manually, it is removed from memory and takes longer to open the next time.

2. Using Fake Cleaning and Battery or RAM Booster Apps

There are tons of apps on Google Play that claim to clean your phone or boost its battery and RAM. The bad news is that a lot of these apps don’t do much at all. In fact, some of them might actually consume your phone’s resources, negatively affecting its performance.

3. Allowing third-party app installations from unknown sources

It is highly recommended that you turn off app installation from unknown sources in the Settings menu.

4. Not updating your phone to the latest Android version

If your phone receives security updates or Android version updates, never ignore them. While it may take a while to install the updates, it is always worth it. This is because malware creators are quick at creating hacks to exploit known vulnerabilities.

4. installing Apps from Unknown Sources

Apps from third-party websites are not verified by your phone, potentially exposing you to security and privacy threats. It is recommended that you use Google Play Store

5. Giving Unnecessary Permissions to Apps

it is necessary to read the permissions pop-ups carefully and only allow the ones that are relevant to the proper functioning of the app

 6. Not Configuring the Find My Device Feature

Find My Device has some powerful features that allow you to locate your lost device remotely.

7. Using random adapters to charge your phone

Always use high-quality adapters or the one that you have with your phone to charge it. Phones with 5,000mAh batteries have become common and it could be dangerous to use any random adapter to charge such big batteries.

8. Not deleting old or unused apps

Keeping old or unused apps simply occupies memory and may also attract malware infection as it would not be updated.

9. Leaving Bluetooth on

Leaving your Bluetooth on all the time can be dangerous and an avenue for hackers to access private information spread malicious software, and do so much damage.

 10. Overcharging of phones (overnight charging)

Although there is a setup on phones that allows them to stop charging when it is full, constant overnight charging of phones is wrong.
