Got yourself a new Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge and noticing apps crashing randomly or suffering from poor battery life? 

There can be multiple reasons as to why your new Galaxy S6 or S6 edge is not behaving as it should. If you are suffering from poor battery life, you can try out some of the tips we have mentioned in this article. You can also try rebooting the handset to alleviate any application crashing issue. In case these problems persist though, you can factory reset your new Galaxy S6 and start over again — hopefully without any issues this time

Make sure to create a backup of all your data on the handset before you proceed to factory reset your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge, since the process will wipe all the data from the handset. This includes all your photos, videos and other important documents present stored in the internal storage of the handset as well.

To factory reset your Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, head over to Settings -> Backup and Reset and select the ‘Factory data reset’ option located at the bottom of the screen. If you had synced your Samsung account with the handset, you will need to confirm your action by entering your Samsung account password or using your fingerprint.

Your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge will reboot during the process and the whole procedure will take up to 5 minutes.

Factory reseting your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge is not something that you do on a regular basis. However, in case your handset has slowed down greatly or apps are frequently crashing, a factory reset will greatly help in solving these issues.
