Phone is Lagging

[EmanC19]

My phone is starting to lag badly now... when I switch apps or do other task, there is a delay between 1-5 seconds. Anyway I can fix this?

Oh that's so weird. Maybe a malfunctioning app? A firmware update that went wrong?

Try safe mode to see if any 3rd party apps are responsible

Have you rebooted your phone lately?

Maybe do a cache partition wipe in recovery mode

Here are the steps to wipe the cache partition: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...10/wipe-cache-partition-samsung-galaxy-note10

Just so you're aware:

Lag is large latency - usually long ping time. Opening an app that's located on the phone, and doesn't have to access the internet to open, is "slowness", not lag. That can be due to the cache being full of old data (see post #6), the system cache being full (see post #4 or $5), a lot of apps running in the background (end the use of an app with the Back button - using the Home button just runs the launcher, leaving the app you're finished with still running [and leading to corruption of its cache data when you turn the phone off or restart it, not closing the app to allow it to clear its cache]). It can also be due to an older phone not having the speed or the RAM needed for more modern versions of the apps you're running.
