Defragging a phone is generally not necessary and is often not recommended, especially for modern phones. Most modern smartphones use flash memory storage (SSDs), which don't require defragmentation. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, SSDs don’t store data in sequential blocks. Data is written and read in various places on the drive, and defragmenting won't improve performance. In fact, it can cause wear and tear on the SSD’s limited write cycle.
Instead of defragmenting, try these steps to improve your phone’s performance: restart your phone, close unused apps, uninstall unnecessary apps, update your operating system and apps, and run a virus scan, if possible. In short, avoid attempting to defragment your phone. It is highly unlikely to improve performance and could cause damage. Focus on the other potential causes of slow performance listed above.
