Slow a12

[nt123]

Ive had this a12 for about 6 months now and after the first 5 months this phone became so ***** slow its so irratating this lhone is absolutely terrible in speed like there is a fair amount of accessibility and a bearable camera quality but other than that the speed of this phone will quickly dissapoint you i will have a group chat on snapchat and my phone will start to freeze up. If you are someone who uses social media quite a lot, as much as it might hurt please just get an iphone it will be much better for you i promise

Hi @nt123 

Which Ram and storage capacity model of a¹² did you choose may I ask as there are various options to choose from ?

May I assume youve tried using the phone's optimisation tool in the phone's Device Care section  ?

Clearing Memory in there can also help especially if the phone's internal Ram is a low variant model.

Also as old files can build up this may help >  Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too. 

Clearing individual apps cache can help too in Settings  > Apps > Choose App > Storage  > Clear Cache.

Ensure software and apps are up to date.

Albeit the Samsung a¹² is a mid range phone it should still comfortably run Social Media Apps.

I wish you all the best.
