When your phone is seriously stuck, is it better to shut it down or restart it? Now you finally know the answer

When the phone freezes and "cannot move", I believe many friends will think of restarting or shutting down the phone. Then there is a doubt, is it better to restart or shut down?

If it were you, which one would you choose?

Next, let's take a look at the main differences between restarting and shutting down. Maybe you will suddenly understand after reading this~

Difference 1: Different speed

Similar to the principle of a computer, restarting is a restart at the software and system level, and does not involve hardware, but shutting down means that the entire system and hardware will be shut down. The obvious difference in speed between the two processes is that restarting is faster than shutting down. This is because after shutting down and then restarting, the system needs to be rebooted, all data needs to be loaded, and the memory needs to be reinitialized.

Difference 2: Different degrees of data cleaning

After the phone restarts, its important data is not cleared, so there is no need to reload it. You may not feel any lag when you first use it, but it will still appear lag after a long time.

However, after shutting down and restarting the phone, the entire system has been checked and all data has been cleared, which means that some deep-seated garbage will be processed. Compared with restarting, shutting down can make the phone last longer after it is turned on.

Seeing this, I think everyone has some understanding of restart and shutdown. Next, let me ask you a question: How often should a mobile phone be shut down?

To put it bluntly, if you turn on and off the phone regularly, the system can clean up the garbage by itself, and the phone can run more smoothly. If your phone is an Android system, it is recommended to shut it down once a week; if it is an Apple phone, it is recommended to shut it down once every two weeks or once a month.

Of course, if you want your phone to run smoothly without lags, it is far from enough to just turn it on and off regularly. We also need to clean up the software cache regularly to free up the phone's memory space. In addition, if you feel that your phone is seriously stuck, you might as well try turning on the power saving mode. At this time, the system will automatically close some useless software and clean up the background, so that you may not feel too stuck.

If these methods can't solve the problem of freezing, you can only try to restore the factory settings! Of course, if your wallet is full, it is simpler and more brutal to directly replace the phone, nice~
