Instead of installing additional optimization apps, Xiaomi users can try two built-in tricks on HyperOS to improve performance.
When first started, a user's Xiaomi phone can operate very quickly, allowing for impressive app launch times. However, over time and with continued use, the device's performance may gradually decrease. This is quite normal, especially with the release of new Android and HyperOS versions.
Like any other electronic device, Xiaomi phones need regular "rest." If users notice their phone suddenly slowing down, there are several things they can do to improve the situation, with the two simple methods below.
Restart your phone.
This is the first solution any phone repair expert recommends. Restarting will free up memory by closing all running apps and processes. It's recommended that users completely turn off their phones and let them rest for about 10 minutes if they notice a sudden slowdown.

Users should also restart their devices if they experience network connection problems, Wi-Fi not working, or if the phone is overheating. Additionally, experts suggest that users should make it a habit to restart their phones once a week.
Free up RAM
Another method users can use is to manually free up RAM using the built-in Security app on their Xiaomi phone. The specific steps are as follows:
- Open the Security app on your Xiaomi phone.
- Select the Cleanup option.

- Wait for your phone to finish scanning for junk files and cache, then tap Clean up junk files to reduce the storage load on your system.
This operation not only frees up RAM but also removes cached files, installed packages, and outdated leftover files. Additionally, users can select "Boost speed" to optimize RAM usage.
If the phone is still slow after trying the above methods, users can consider restoring factory settings to start over. However, it's best to start with less invasive and simpler methods first.
