How to Charge Your Phone Faster: Stop Background Apps Trick

content: Is Your Phone Charging Too Slow? Here’s the Fix

Is your phone taking forever to charge? You plug it in for an hour, and it’s still only at 30%? If so, you’re not alone. The video I analyzed shares a practical trick to fix slow charging by stopping background apps that drain your battery while charging. Let’s dive into how this works.

content: Why Background Apps Slow Charging

When you charge your phone, background apps (like WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram) are still running. They use battery power even when you’re not using them. According to battery optimization experts, these apps can consume up to 20% of your battery’s charge. This means your charger has to work twice as hard—once to charge the battery and once to power the background apps. That’s why your phone charges slowly.

Download a Background App Killer

The video recommends using a specific app (link in the video’s description). For general use, look for trusted apps like Greenify (Android) or Battery Doctor. These apps are designed to hibernate or stop background apps from running.

Grant Permissions

Once you download the app, open it and grant the necessary permissions (like access to run in the background). This allows the app to detect and stop background processes.

Scan and Stop Apps

Tap the “scan” button to find all running background apps. Then, tap “stop” to end these processes. The video shows this step clearing multiple apps like Amazon, Instagram, and screen recorders that were running without the user’s knowledge.

Charge Your Phone

After stopping the background apps, plug in your phone. You’ll notice a significant increase in charging speed—like going from 0 to 100% in 32 minutes (as claimed in the video).

The video focuses on background apps, but there are other ways to speed up charging:

Use a fast charger compatible with your phone (e.g., 25W for Samsung, 20W for iPhone).
Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data while charging—these features use battery.
Reduce screen brightness or turn off the screen entirely.
Avoid using your phone while it’s charging—this uses power and slows down the process.
