Using the phone while it’s charging: Using your phone while it’s charging can generate heat and cause the
device to hang.
By avoiding these habits and practicing good phone maintenance, you can help reduce the likelihood of your
phone hanging and improve its overall performance.

Some technical reasons why your phone start hanging.
Outdated operating system: If your phone’s operating system is outdated, it may not be able to handle the
demands of newer apps and features, leading to hanging.

Malware or virus: Malware or a virus on your phone can slow down performance and cause the device to hang.
Hardware issues: In some cases, hardware issues such as a damaged battery, a failing processor, or a damaged
RAM module can cause the phone to hang.
Poorly designed apps: Apps that are not optimized for the phone’s hardware can cause the device to hang.

Overheating: If the phone gets too hot, it may hang or shut down to protect the device and its components.
Camera problems:
Blurry pictures can be a frustrating experience. Blurriness often occurs due to shaky hands or low-light conditions.
Sometimes it happens because of your camera’s inability to focus correctly. There are some solutions to resolve
this such as ensuring stable hands and good lighting.
