RealMe 8 Pro - glitchy after update :'(

[LewiH]

Hey everyone.

I have a RealMe 8 Pro, which is a great phone all round! But after the recent update it now runs quite glitchy :'(

Just as an example, if I'm running Google maps and need to have a look at another app it struggles with transitioning between the two and G-Maps will often crash. Or if I get WhatsApp notifications in the drop-down sometimes I can't swipe them away.

I would try clearing cache but they appear to have removed the option from the storage menu also :/

Has anyone got any other suggestions?

TIA

Purely based on my experiences with two 2020 devices I have from another Chinese owned brand, Xiaomi, now on Android 12 - I would wait a few weeks for further system apps updates.

Apart from rebooting the device, and clearing as much system cache as it allows, there's not much to be gained in the meantime.

What month of Google Play Services and Security patch is it on? They may follow soon, though often Security becomes a 3 month cycle.

You could clear the Cache in Apps - Google Play Services.

There's probably a Realme forum with others complaining about similar. A big OS change may not settle smoothly at first.

Thanks for your reply. I never knew it was possible to clear cache for individual apps, it would appear this is the only place I can clear cache since the update! I've tried clearing cache for a few of the apps that were playing up, so we'll see if that helps at all.

The device appears to be completely up to date otherwise. By the sounds of things it may just be a case of waiting for further updates. Appreciate the reply regardless!
