It’s not a phone anymore; it has become your best friend. It holds all your secrets, captures every memory and is also useful in case there is an emergency.

Mobile phones not only help us out in our day to day life but also make our life more smoother and comfortable. But in order to get the most out of your phone, you need to take care of it in a good manner. Treat it wrongly and it won’t last long, plus you’ll need to spend some extra bucks to get it fixed for usage. There is also the added inconvenience of missing out on your friends’ Instagram stories.

There are many things that you can do to send your phone to smartphone repair shops, but also some things to ensure that it doesn’t have to go there.

1.The easiest way to disrupt a mobile phone is by external damage. Many times your phone may fall out of your hand while you are getting down the stairs or driving. To ensure your phone doesn’t need smartphone repair, cover it up. The screen is the weakest part of the phone, so protect it with tempered glass. You can get those for low prices, and they are lifesavers. Also, buy a back cover or a case as well, so that even if it falls, it suffers no damage.

2.Keep an eye out on what you are downloading. Downloads from the internet are the easiest passage ways for viruses. These viruses can copy your personal data, attack particular OS files or even the BIOS files to stop the mobile from working. Mostly, the only way out is to factory reset it. Think before you download something from the internet, and it would be handy to have a basic antivirus in your phone.

3.Don’t fill you phone up with garbage. The more applications and files you keep on your phone, the slower it gets. This can be avoided by removing useless apps and photos and videos from WhatsApp from time to time. Overloading it with data will gradually slow down the mobile to a point where it is good for nothing.

4.Keep clearing your RAM. Most applications don’t get out of the Ram even when closed, and some of them keep running in the background. Killing off such apps frees up RAM for newer tasks the processor has to run.

5.Keep backing up your data. Even if you are forced to factory reset your phone, you should not face the problem that you have lost all the data you had. You can keep the backup on cloud services such as Google Drive, or even in a pen drive. That way, you won’t have to start from zero to use the phone again.

Such simple tricks will ensure you enjoy the company of your phone for years to come and bring in more utility than you had originally expected. So follow these points and enjoy the long life of your phone. Do let us know your thoughts in the comments.
