Thanks to these 6 simple tricks in MIUI, you will significantly speed up your Xiaomi smartphone

Although Xiaomi's popular MIUI add-on is full of interesting and useful features, like all Android smartphones, Xiaomi's are not 100% smooth. You can come across jams and lags especially when using full screen gestures, especially if you have several applications running in the background.

In today's article we will show you how you can your Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO whether to make a Black Shark smartphone much smoother and more pleasant to use in 6 easy steps. Let's go.

RAM expansion

If you're watching the technology a little more closely, you've probably heard of this trick. In addition, expanding RAM turns a small portion of your internal storage into virtual RAM, making the system run a bit smoother.

Please note that this feature is not available on all smartphones. If you want to find out if your smartphone has virtual RAM, open the application "settings", click on "Additional settings” and then choose the option “Memory expansion". After turning on this function, your RAM will increase by 2 / 3 GB depending on the specific model.

Automatic cache cleaning

Many applications running in the background are often the source of jams and jerky animations. The MIUI extension offers an interesting feature that automatically clears the cache for you every time you lock your phone.

You can find this function after opening the "Security" application, then click on the button with the inscription "Drums", in the upper right corner click on the gear wheel and finally click on "Clear cache when the device is locked". In the list, you can choose a deletion interval from one to thirty minutes.

Powerful mode

The "Security" application, as in the previous step, also offers the option of setting the so-called powerful mode. To turn it on, open the application "Security", click on the option "Drums” and then move the slider to the page with the inscription “Performance". Your smartphone will definitely be faster thanks to this trick, but at the same time energy consumption may increase.

Completely block annoying ads

If you use pre-installed system applications on your smartphone, you have definitely come across various advertising banners that these applications contain. Loading the application itself "enriched" with loading ads can lead to slowing down of the device.

To completely remove these ads, visit the application "settings", section "Connect and share", then choose the option "Private DNS", click on "Private DNS provider name” and in the box below write “dns.adguard.com". From this moment, system ads should be removed from your smartphone for good.

Data and cache cleaning

Another useful tip that can help you on the way to a faster smartphone is to clean up data and cache. This point mainly concerns smartphone owners who have recently upgraded to the newer generation of MIUI, but everyone can try it, calmly.

First you need to open the application "settings", then click on the item "Applications", further "Manage applications", search for the relevant launcher in the list (in our case, it is POCO launcher), at the bottom right click on the option "Erase data” and finally click on “Erase all data".

ATTENTION! 

This step will reset your home screen layout. But thanks to the Mi Cloud service, you can conveniently back up your screen and then restore your layout.

Optimization

The last tip we will present you today is to use the application "Security". You've probably already found this app on your smartphone, and as the name suggests, thanks to it you can quickly and easily optimize your device.

You can choose between global cleaning, deep cleaning or increasing speed (closing applications running in the background). If your smartphone has started to get uncomfortable and the overall operation and response is slow, do not hesitate to use the wide portfolio of possibilities of this application.

Finally, we'll give you another little bonus tip. From time to time, it is very beneficial for your smartphone to run quickly if you turn off your phone and turn it on again in a few minutes. All remaining files will be cleaned, processes will end and your phone will be much smoother. Be careful not to restart with manual shutdown and power on.
