Say why a full device gets slow
Understand why a full device stalls and drops things, and what actually fixes it.
A device needs empty room to work in — to unpack an update, save a photograph, write the temporary files apps make.
Full to the brim it has nowhere to set anything down, so it stalls and drops things.
Key points
- A device needs free room to save, unpack and work in
- Full to the brim it stalls, and freeing room is the fix
What to remember
- Leaving a little room free is the repair.
- A full device is not broken. It has no room to work.
Try this
Check how much room your own device has left. If it is nearly none, remove one long video.
