Why reset your smartphone?

There may also be issues after an update: These can create compatibility conflictswith your applications. One of the first solutions is to clear the cache of applications, but sometimes it is not enough. In any case, if you had encountered a problem after an update, starting again on new bases always seems like a good idea.
