By the end of this article, you'll be able to play the game smoothly and without any interruptions.

Adjust the Brawl Stars Settings

We will first take a look at your in-game settings. Open up Brawl Stars and navigate to your settings, which will significantly impact the performance and quality of your gameplay. I will set these for a low to mid-end device, as it will, in turn, also reduce distractions generated by the game and will help you run Brawl Stars smoothly on any mobile device you wish to use.

You can set the first few options to your personal preference, as they will have no impact on the game’s performance. Below, you have the option to change your Brawl Stars controls if you want.

This will load you into a friendly game that allows you to test out a new layout for your controls.

Below, make sure to select the correct location, or at least a location closest to you.

Close Background Apps

After applying your changes, prevent other applications from running in the background. Resource intensive applications or apps that use your network connection can impact your Brawl Stars gaming experience.

Close all apps running on your mobile device

iOS or Android Software Update

Open up your native settings application. On your iOS device, scroll down and tap on General. First, make sure that your iOS device is up to date. Select Software Update, and make sure to download and install the latest update in case one is available.

iPhone Settings > General > Software Update

Ensure Enough Storage for Brawl Stars

Next, in your iPhone or iPad storage settings, you can preview how much storage you have left and how much each application uses up on your device. To increase your overall Brawl Stars performance and reduce FPS drops, you will need enough available storage on your device. Games like Brawl Stars generate and delete files in the background when the game is being used. If you don’t have enough storage, writing and deleting data can be slow and induce lag. It’s suggested to ensure you have at least 5GB of free storage left.

iPhone Settings > General > iPhone Storage

Disable Background App Refresh

Back in your General settings, tab on Background App Refresh. You should turn this setting off while in-game to prevent your device from updating other applications while in-game.

iPhone Settings > General > Background App Refresh

The battery-saver mode can also reduce your performance and induce FPS drops, so make sure that your device is charged and the battery-saver mode is disabled while playing Brawl Stars.

Restart Device

Lastly, restart your mobile device if you haven’t done this in a while. This will restart some services and processes and will increase your performance when playing Brawl Stars.
