Android phone slow or crashing after update

Updates sometimes cause problems with apps, system files, or settings. Most issues go away with a restart, clearing cache, or removing the problematic app. You don't need a factory reset.

When an Android update causes problems, it's because an app doesn't work with the new Android version, temporary files got corrupted, or settings reset. The good news is most of these are fixable without losing your data. A restart, cache clear, or removing one bad app fixes it.
