Question:

Why is my device showing more ads and becoming slow or unresponsive after installing third-party cleaner, booster, and battery manager apps?

Answer:

Your device might be experiencing issues like increased advertisements and slower performance because of the negative impact from some third-party apps such as cleaners, boosters, and battery managers. When you download these types of apps, they can interfere with how your device functions.

Unwanted Ads: Installing certain apps from unknown sources (via ads or links) can cause your device to display unwanted ads.

Performance Issues: These third-party apps can affect your device's performance, making it slower or even freezing at times.

Security Risks: Using unknown apps can pose potential security threats to your device.

To resolve these issues, follow these steps:

Uninstall unnecessary or unused apps that were installed from unknown sources. To do this, go to Settings > Apps and search for or select relevant apps to remove them. Note that some of these apps might not appear in your app tray menu (on the main screen or through the search bar).

Be cautious when prompted to install an app during activities like watching YouTube. Some pop-ups claim that your device lacks storage space, overheats, or faces security risks, but these messages might be misleading.
