Games like PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, COD Mobile, and any other battle royale formats have garnered a lot of attention through the years. Technology has evolved, and with it, the processors and features of our mobile phones.

PUBG Mobile is one of the most famous mobile games across the globe. But problems like frame drops and lags. These issues can be frustrating and might even ruin the fun of the game.

Fixing lag in PUBG Mobile

1) Deleting cache

If players want to fix their phone’s lag, they can try to clear the cache of their phones. It will free up a vital part of their memory.

If there is a low storage issue, the cache becomes a barrier.

2) Restrict background applications

If players have a phone with 2 or 3 GB RAM, they should stop the apps that are running in the background. Some apps use the RAM, while some of them use the internet in the background.

Players can restrict these apps by going into Settings→ App Management → Installed Apps.

Players can select the app that they don’t want to run in the background using Power Saver → Don’t Run in Background.

3) Close all background apps

Similar to restricting background applications, players can also try closing all the background apps before firing up PUBG Mobile. These background apps use a portion of RAM that can affect the game.

4) Enable Data Saving

Enabling Data Saving is another feature that will limit apps in the background to u se the internet. Players can turn on Data Saving when playing PUBG Mobile and untick all other apps except for PUBG Mobile.

This will allow the app to use the entire network. This will ensure that the ping is low.

5) Reducing graphics

The smoothness of the game depends on the mobile device that players use to play the game on. To get the most desirable frame rates, users can decrease the graphics of PUBG Mobile. This will give them higher frame rates and less lag.
