Battery life issues

How do you know if your phone is corrupted?

A corrupted phone can be so stressful. It can ruin your vital data, documents, files, etc. It can also render your phone useless when you need it most. You will know your phone is corrupted when it starts to show funny behaviors. It may have corrupted OS files, including apps that fail to run properly or functions that suddenly stop working. 

For instance, if your contact list no longer opens when you tap the people or contacts icon, your device is corrupted. However, it is not a cause for alarm because you can easily fix it. A corrupted phone doesn't mean that that's its end; here is how you can fix it.

Scan your phone with Google play protect
If your phone is corrupted, scan it with the Google play protect feature. The feature is built into the Google play store; it often checks your device for harmful behaviors. It scans your device for apps installed from and outside the google play store. Once it detects an app that may corrupt your phone, it warns you immediately and asks you to uninstall it. At times, it might disable the app or remove them itself. Google play protect is active by default, but if you think your phone may be corrupted, you can use it manually to check. 

Uninstall rogue apps manually.
Everyone knows the apps installed on their phones and how they use them, right? Okay, go through your apps manually, check the ones you don't remember installing and those you hardly use and delete them immediately. Those apps could be the culprits to corrupting your phone. 

Factory reset your phone.
If the above fixtures don't work, it's time to factory reset your phone. It's a one-click thing and the last option for you. All data will be erased, so back it up before factory resetting. 

Seek professional help
The last option for you would be to visit a repair shop to help you fix your phone if you have tried the above methods and they've failed to resolve the issue.
