You’re on your phone and you see an article that is simply too long to read. You want to explore the article, but it’s just taking too long. You start to scroll down and suddenly you’re scrolling back up again because your device is loading so slowly! It can be frustrating when the internet speeds don’t match our expectations. However, there are ways that you can slow down the speed of your internet on your phone without having to reset it or download a new app. Read on for some easy tips and tricks to help you slow down your internet speed without disrupting your day.
How To Slow Down Internet Speed On Your Phone?
1. Close all background apps. If you have a lot of applications that are running in the background, you’re going to be loading a lot more data for your internet connection. You may need to close any applications that you don’t use often, like Facebook or Twitter.
2. Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use. When you’re not using Wi-Fi, turn it off so it doesn’t use as much data while in standby mode.
3. Use a cellular data plan instead of WiFi whenever possible (or if available). This will help with the amount of data used by your phone while not on WiFi and also reduce the amount of battery drain caused by having your phone connected to WiFi at all times.
4. Turn off Push Notifications on apps that you don’t need them on (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat). These push notifications can be quite annoying and they take up quite a bit of bandwidth on your phone and can affect how quickly your internet speeds will load.
5. Download the latest version of your apps. This will ensure that your phone is up-to-date and has the latest features, which can speed up app loading time.
6. Use Google’s Chrome browser instead of Safari or other browsers. Chrome has faster page loading speeds than Safari, for example.
7. Turn on your “Do Not Track” feature in your browser settings to prevent ads from following you around the web (this setting is available for all major browsers). The more ads you have following you around, the slower it can be to load websites, especially if those ads are tracking your behavior over time to target you with ads later on! This setting will also help keep advertisers from tracking what pages you’re visiting and how long it takes to load them as well.
8. Delete unused apps and games from your phone’s memory. This will ensure that you’re not using as much of your data and memory to store apps that you don’t use often on a regular basis.
9. Download an antivirus app. An antivirus app may help keep your phone safe from malware and viruses, which can slow down your internet speeds significantly if left unchecked for long periods of time.
10. Get a new SIM card for your phone to reduce its load on the network (your carrier may have free SIM cards available). This will ensure that there are no issues with the connection between your phone and the cell tower, which can also slow down internet speeds considerably.
How To Use The Internet Safely?
1. Access the Internet from a secure Wi-Fi connection. This will ensure that you’re using a secure connection over an unsecured one, which can slow down your internet speeds considerably.
2. Use an app like Wifi Analyzer to check your wifi signal strength and make sure that it’s not too weak or strong for your needs. If it’s too weak, your data speeds will be low and if it’s too strong, your battery life can be affected.
3. Use a cellular data plan instead of WiFi whenever possible (or if available). This will help with the amount of data used by your phone while not on WiFi and also reduce the amount of battery drain caused by having your phone connected to WiFi at all times.
4. Turn off Push Notifications on apps that you don’t need them on (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat). These push notifications can be quite annoying and they take up quite a bit of bandwidth on your phone and can affect how quickly your pages load.
5. Turn off Smartphone Data when not in use (this will prevent unnecessary data usage). This will also help with the amount of data used by your phone while not in use and it’ll also help with the amount of battery drain caused by having your phone connected to WiFi at all times.
6. Don’t leave your phone lying on the table where someone can pick it up and look at all your personal information stored on it (including pictures, contacts, texts, call logs, and more). This can cause quite a bit of trouble for you if this happens to you.
7. Use an app like SnoopSnitch to see if anyone has accessed your phone without your knowledge or consent. This app can let you know who has accessed your device and give you the ability to track them down if necessary.
8. Don’t store important files on cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive that have been hacked or have had their security compromised (remember that some
