Years ago the mobile phone just made calls, can you imagine that? Today almost everyone has a smart phone that keeps them connected to the internet, social media and many other apps. Can you imagine a world without your phone? What would you do? For most of us our phone is one of the most important possessions we own. Check out these 7 things you should stop doing with your phone…
1. Forgetting to update the phone
Yes we all have very busy lives, sometimes it’s easy to forget stuff even more so when it’s a chore or it interrupts your life. Your phone reminds you to update but you don’t want the downtime or the time it takes to install or restart your trusty connection to the world. But trust us you should ALWAYS update your device as soon as you can. Both Android and IOS updates not only contain important security updates to protect your phone they also usually include great upgrades or new features that will make your life easier. So next time your phone pings you to update, take some downtime have a drink and update it, you will regret it eventually if you don’t!
2. Forgetting to restart your phone once in a while
Even a 5 minute break from our devices can seem like an eternity right? But phones running for weeks or months without a restart can slow down with the sheer amount of background apps and cached data they are working with. Why not make it a weekly habit to restart your phone and clear out all this background data and apps? For 5 minutes of your time you will see a vast improvement.
