Tips to make internet faster on Smartphone (Android & iOS)

  1. Restrict Background App Data Usage

  3. Reset Network Settings
  4. Remove Cached Files from Browser

The tricks listed below are only beneficial if you are experiencing internet speed issues despite having a relatively faster internet connection. If your internet connection is slow, then you need to either upgrade the internet service plan or find an alternative.

Ookla Speedtest is the best way to check the speed of your internet connection. Visit www.speedtest.net or download its app to monitor your network speed.

1] Restrict Background App Data Usage

Disable Background Apps

When multiple applications are running simultaneously on your device, they may continue consuming data even if they are running in the background. Stopping these background apps will prevent them from using the internet. It will also give some room for running apps to get more bandwidth. However, apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc. need to work in the background to get new messages. So decide wisely.
