    More often, sluggishness occurs due to a glitch in the system. It is possible that some services are performing poorly that resulted in your device to run slow. So, to eliminate this suspicion, we recommend you do a forced restart.

    Doing this method will refresh the memory of the device and reload all services that might be functioning poorly. This is how its done:

    1. So press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power key for 8 seconds. This will trigger your phone to shut down and power back up. 
    2. When the logo shows, release both keys and allow your phone to continue the boot process. 

    After the restart, use your phone and observe if it is still running slow. If so, proceed to the next method.

  2. Second solution: Boot your phone in Safe Mode.

    Another factor to consider that could trigger issues like this is due to some third-party apps installed on your phone. It is possible that one or a couple of apps complicate the system that resulted in the device to become sluggish.

    By booting your Galaxy A53 into Safe Mode, all third-party apps will be temporarily disabled and only the pre-installed ones will be running in the system. Here’s how you boot your phone in Safe Mode:

    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. 

    So, while in this mode and your phone functions normally, then obviously one of your third-party apps is causing it. You can uninstall each app you downloaded on your phone until the issue is fixed.

  3. Third solution: Wipe the cache partition.

    1. Turn off the device.
    2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power keys.
    3. When the Samsung logo shows, release all three keys.
