Like, what I mean is...imagine your mom. uses a phone. doesnt know how to use a phone.

space is limited, runs slower than normal. lots of apps i dont know if she needs.

it just needs a good rehab.

run of the mill $50 android phone.

How would one go about making it run more efficient and cleaning it up?

On an android? Factory reset and then jailbreak to remove the unwanted bloatware apps.

Find out what apps she doesnt need and delete them?

Reset the phone?

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

Why not teach your mom what you'd do?
Show her how to delete stuff. Show her how to close all apps if she's done for a while. Maybe check out optimizing.

More or less this in my opinion. My mom was actually mad when she had to do things differently between her smartphone and ol flip phone. She gave me an ultimatum of two weeks before going back to her flip phone but fortunately it took her maybe a week to get accustomed to the smartphone and now enjoys it.

Now she's quite capable of using her smartphone but I do manage it every now and then (i..e clearing caches, etc.) and told her to not let anyone touch her phone or install anything. If her friends and a relative suggest certain apps, she's to tell me which ones, and I'll take care of the rest. Doesn't help that majority of my aunts, uncles, and her friends are iPhone users so their lack of familiarity with Android might lead to more harm than help.

Have you ever met a mother?

It will not be remembered as you are the archives.
