Some apps such as social networks, games and even Google Maps may demand too much from the phone and end up making the device slower, either by consuming many, data, storage or CPU performance.
If you are realizing that your phone is slower than usual, it is worth checking if the problem is in one of these applications – before changing your cell phone. +
5 Applications that make the phone slower
Social media
Social networking applications like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and Tiktok not only occupy much of internal storage, but also demand more from the CPU and consume many data, according to an article published in Slash Gear.
These applications are frequently updated based on the user preference, and are all the time sending notifications. In addition, many of them are video based, which makes the phone slower. An alternative to escape this is to choose to install the Lite version of social networking apps.
Google Maps
The app demands a lot of data, which can lead to a slower phone and shorter battery, especially during navigation times. The app has a lighter version, Google Maps GO for Android devices.
Google Photos
Often, the app overloads smartphones because of the way it is used by the user itself when storing infinite records. To resolve this, Google started to offer the option to establish a daily limit for data use through the app. Anyone who wants to back up all photos without the cell phone can try to reduce the quality of the images.

Games
Like social networks, some smartphone games require plenty of space on the device, as they have several graphic elements. Some examples of game apps that can make your phone slower are “Genshin Impact”, “Asphalt 9: Legends” and “Hearthstone”. In some cases, the demand of these applications may be so high that it impairs the performance of the game.
Spotify
One of the great villains for use of internal storage in the case of Spotify is the download of offline songs. The app consumes plenty of cell phones for the way it was developed, which makes them slower. One way to mitigate this is by data saver, which, on the other hand, reduces the quality of the audios.
