If you're using an Android phone, it's advisable to try safe mode. It can be activated by holding down the power button, tapping on 'Power off,' and then holding down 'OK' when the 'Reboot to Safe Mode' option appears.

One effective step to take is to enter SAFE Mode on your Android device. This mode allows you to start your phone with only the basic apps and settings, helping you identify if a third-party app is causing issues.
