When to Consider to Factory Reset Your Tablet
There are various reasons why an individual may choose to factory reset their Whoop Connect tablet. Each reason has benefits and drawbacks; the user must know them before resetting. Once the device has been reset, there is no way to reverse the action. The best practice is to back up your device just in case you have something important.
Below you’ll find some of the valid reasons to reset your device:
- Restoring Settings to Default: You can do a lot with a Whoop Connect tablet and customize it to your liking. But, sometimes, customization can get in the way of functionality; if that happens, it might be worth starting from scratch. A factory reset would be appropriate in this case.
- Performance Issues: Time is the bane of technology. The older a device gets, the worse it will be. Factory resetting an old device can not only prolong it, but it can boost its performance. Of course, it’s not as good as the new devices out there, but it will work a lot better than before.
- Problematic Applications: Anyone can go on the internet and download any application they want. It’s recommended to only download applications through your Operating Systems app store, where the apps are vetted and safe to download and use. But sometimes, the need for an app on the internet is too enticing to download. If the app turns out to be harmful or unsafe, a factory reset may be needed to erase the application on the tablet.
- Serious Software Problems: Sometimes, a factory reset is needed for unknown things that can happen to anyone’s tablet at any time. Maybe someone forgot their pin, or it’s glitchy or so slow that it’s rendered unusable. A hard reset may do the trick to self-fix your tablet.
