Apps and browsers store temporary files, which can slow down your phone. Clearing the cache ensures smoother performance and potentially better internet speeds.
Enable Data
Many phones have built-in data-saving modes. These can help reduce background data usage, improving speed for tasks you prioritize, like browsing or streaming.
Network Settings
Turn on 4G or LTE mode if supported by your device. This ensures you’re using the fastest available network.
Check Signal Strength
Weak signal means slower internet. Move to areas with better coverage, especially when downloading or streaming.
Restart Your Phone Periodically
A quick restart can resolve network glitches and help your phone reconnect to the internet more efficiently.
Monitor and Manage Data
Check your data usage through your phone’s settings or the TM app. Avoid hitting data limits, as this can lead to slower speeds.
Use a Trusted Mobile Browser
Browsers like Google Chrome or Opera Mini are optimized for faster browsing, even on slow connections.
Disable Unnecessary Background Apps
Apps running in the background can use up your internet bandwidth. Close unused apps to free up data for the tasks you need.
