1. <strong>First solution: Force restart your phone</strong>.

   Random lags and freezes on smartphones are normal, especially if lots of apps and services are simultaneously running in the background. So, to resolve this issue, all you need to do is to do a force restart. This method will refresh the memory of the device by closing all apps running in the background and reloading all services that might be functioning poorly.Here’s how you force restart your phone:1. Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power key for 8 seconds. 2. When the logo shows, release both keys and allow your phone to continue the boot process.After the force restart, use your phone and see if it still lags and freezes. If so, move to the next method.

2. <strong>Second solution: Reboot your Phone in Safe Mode</strong>.

   Sometimes, due to third-party apps you downloaded on your phone, lags and freezes may occur without apparent reason. It is possible that those third-party apps you downloaded create conflict on the system that’s the reason why you experience lags and freezes on your phone. So, to eliminate this suspicion, you can boot your device in Safe Mode.Booting in this mode won’t fix any issue on your device, instead, it will just stop all third-party apps from running and let the built-in apps run in the system. So, while in this mode and your phone is not lagging and freezing anymore, then obviously one of the apps you downloaded is causing it. You can uninstall each and every app until the issue is fixed.1: Press and hold the Power key until options show.2: Tap and hold the Power off option until it changes into Safe Mode.3: Tap the Safe mode icon to restart your device.4: Once the reboot is successful, you should see ‘Safe mode’ at the lower-left corner of the screen.But while in this mode and the device still lags and freezes, proceed to the next procedure.
