Apps freezes

[userUdBywigsGw]

Since the last update to ui 8, my phone has been freezing and some apps won't open like they use to. I've even had to uninstall and reinstall a couple.

Clear the phone cache

You can potentially alleviate performance issues by completing these steps for routine maintenence:

☆ Follow Samsung’s Best Practices Guide

In particular, clearing device cache is an important practice in order to clean up junk files and keep things running smooth.

See the guide here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/Best-Practices-After-an-Update/ba-p/3200871?src=Shar...

☆ Use Samsung’s Good Guardians

Download Good Guardians and run its various modules. These modules optimize performance and can identify unusual behavior.

App Booster re-optimizes your apps. This should be run after an update.

Memory Guardian helps clear up device memory and boost performance.

If the issue persists, it may be an issue with the specific app rather than with your device. Make sure the app is up to date. Go to Settings > Apps > Desired app > storage > clear cache. If that doesn't help, clear data. If that doesn't help, uninstall/reinstall.

If none of these steps correct your problem, send an error report to the apps developer (developer contact info available in Play Store Listing) to make them aware of the issue.

Hope this helps!
