How to restart or shut off Android

Restarting your Android phone can resolve issues like freezing apps or slow performance. Here’s how to do it:

Standard Restart:

1. Press and hold the Power button (usually on the right side) for a few seconds.
2. Select “Restart” from the menu that appears. If “Restart” isn’t available, choose “Power off,” then turn the phone back on after a few seconds.

Force Restart (if the device is unresponsive):

1. Press and hold both the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for about 10 to 20 seconds until the device restarts.

For devices with a removable battery:

1. Remove the battery to power off the device.
2. Reinsert the battery and press the Power button to turn the device back on.

Regularly restarting your phone can help maintain its performance and address minor software glitches.
