Android users have found a helpful trick to improve the performance of their devices: disabling the operating system’s animations. This lesser-known setting can free up resources and speed up older devices, as reported by technology media Xataka. Although animations enhance user experience, they can slow down older devices, making it beneficial to disable them for improved speed.

To implement this trick, users need to access their device’s menu and disable animations by enabling the ‘Developer options.’ This can be done by navigating to ‘Settings,’ then ‘Phone information,’ and repeatedly tapping ‘Compliation number’ to activate the options. Once developer options are enabled, users can follow steps to disable animations and notice a difference in their device’s performance.

Android uses animations to provide feedback to users, so disabling them may impact the usual operation of the device. However, this is a normal occurrence as the animations play a significant role in interactions with the mobile device. By following these steps, users can experience a faster and more responsive device.
