    Ok finally saw the ota for c59 and updated it. Nothing changed for me. Neither improved nor worsened my phone.

    I already configured my phone to be fast before c59 and it didn't changed anything aside from update the security patch.

                              Let me add some more tips:

                              If you need some apps to run in background:

                              1. Lock the app in recent apps (lock icon) (you can only lock 5 apps maximum)

                              2. Go to the app's app info screen and go to battery usage and check background usage

                              3. Go to settings then battery then app freeze and turn off ONLY THE APPS YOU WANT TO ALWAYS RUN IN BACKGROUND

                              ----------------------------

                              some more tips:

                              Always/regularly use the phone manager to clean unwanted files. It will keep your storage free and also make tour phone faster

                              Always leave more than 5gb free storage. There will be annoying notification about it and your phone will REALLY slow down. I deleted files and now I have 10gb free storage and it's super fast. I'm telling you the performance is like night and day. This is realme's fault we can't use all our storage to our liking without drastically slowing our phone but yeah I'm just giving advice from my usage/experience.

                              I'll post more tips if I remember more.

                                Guys, update to the latest version and do these:

                                1.Reset system settings (won't delete any data, only phone settings)

                                2. Go to settings>battery and set everything to lowest possible performance in all settings found there

                                3. Go to settings battery and app freeze and check all apps for app freeze

                                4. Developer options > no background processes (in the bottom part) and set all 3 animations to 0.5x speed

                                That's what I did and my 5i became fast. Of course I don't open many apps simultaneously because the ram is only 3gb, it will slow down if many apps open.
