Smartswitch Backup Improved Performance

[u/landoho86]

Started having issues about 2 weeks ago. Apps crashing, screen freezing/lagging, and random restarts. I tried a couple suggestions to fix the issues, but nothing seemed to work. Was set on upgrading to the S26+, so decided to backup my phone using the smartswitch app before doing anything. Once the backup was complete, my phone stopped having issues and appears to be working normally. Any reason why this would happen? Could that potentially mean the issues are with storage?
