How to Speed Up Slow FireStick TV

If your FireStick has been slowing down in the past, follow these steps to help it run more efficiently.

1. Restart or Reboot Your FireStick 

Rebooting FireStick is the most well-known method to diagnose issues that are affecting Fire TV devices. Background applications can reduce the performance of your FireStick and create other performance issues that could cause slowing or even crashing. Restarting your device can solve the majority of these issues.

After your device has returned to normal, you must reboot it now and then to ensure that it is functioning without problems.

2. Uninstall Unwanted Apps

Removing unnecessary applications is the most efficient and fastest way to speed and improve the speed of performance on Your FireStick device. Why? They unnecessarily consume a large part of your device’s memory (ROM). The system will install and download the latest updates if your app is subject to frequent updates.  Additionally, they run within the background, which results in the usage of RAM. These could cause the firestick slow.

3. Clear Cache of Apps

After you have removed the unnecessary apps, you will end up with only the ones you use regularly. They may have built up quite a bit of cache over time and contributed to the slow speed of performance of the gadget. I would recommend clearing out the stock of all applications on FireStick.

4. Keep Your FireStick up to date

It is vital to ensure that your device is updated to enhance its performance and guard against security holes, malware threats, and other issues that could cause your device to slow down. Ensuring your FireStick runs the most current software version will boost its performance.

5. Disable Auto App Updates

Apps update in the background when a new version comes. But you can disable auto-update, follow:

• Open your Firestick and go to the settings.
• Now, go to Applications.
• Visit the Appstore.
• Here you will see Automatic Updates. Turn Off.

6. Factory Reset

After you’ve attempted these methods and your FireStick is still slow, it may be necessary to reset your factory settings.

This is the final alternative. Resetting your device factory-wide will improve performance. But, it will not restore your device to the state the manufacturer sent it to. It will erase all your data as a result. Remember your Amazon account login details and Wi-Fi password so you can re-enter them following the reset.

These are the ways to get rid of your firestick slow issue. I hope now your firestick is running at a good speed. If not, then try to contact customer service of amazon firestick TV.
