Restart it once a week
Head off small faults before they start.
A restart clears what a device has held since it last started: stuck jobs, stale connections, memory it never gave back.
Doing it on a chosen day, before anything goes wrong, is the habit.
Key points
- A restart clears what a device has been holding on to
- Choosing a day means never needing one in a hurry
What to remember
- Off for ten seconds is what empties it.
- A restart is the cheapest repair there is.
Try this
Pick a day — Sunday suits most — and switch your phone off for ten seconds before bed.
