Good morning all

I've got a Samsung S5 and it's just under a year old. Recently the apps just stop working and I have to switch it on and off. I'm sure I probably need to update stuff but no idea what. I can't seem to find anything online to help me

I have a factory reset and start again at least once a year when mine has a funny. Usually sorts it out but remembering account details can be fun

Go into Google play where you download the app. Click on my apps and that should tell you what needs updating

Do you have a virus check app on your phone?

Has it got firmware updates, such as newer android operating system versions released?

I don't use android now as many manufacturers barely update handsets once they're sold.

I'd factory restore it and update, if available.

Backup your stuff too. And delete what you don't need - clutter could slow it down.

I had that. Had to factory reset it after speaking with my network provider.

I dont know.

Its looking like the best course of action would be complete factory reset and start again

I'd do the factory reset and probably only update it if it still had issues. Sometimes updates will be bug fixes, as well as improvements - but I'd stick with what you know, if factory reset fixes it.
