10 Tips to Reduce Lag in Mobile Games on Android

Lag usually comes from three places: too little free RAM, a hot processor or a slow connection. Try these tips.

1. Close background apps before you start a match.
2. Restart your phone once a week to clear memory.
3. Free storage: keep at least 10% of storage empty.
4. Lower graphics settings in the game, especially shadows.
5. Cap the frame rate at 30 or 60 FPS for a steadier experience.
6. Take off the case in long sessions to cool the phone.
7. Use Wi-Fi 5 GHz or move closer to the router to lower ping.
8. Turn on Do Not Disturb so notifications do not interrupt play.
9. Update the game and Android for performance fixes.
10. Monitor your numbers: a shark space game booster like SharkSpace shows RAM, ping and temperature live so you can see what is holding you back.
