Common Issues:

➔After the upgrade, it may take a longer time to boot for the first time, especially if there are many third-party applications on your phone.

➔After the upgrade, in order to improve the system operation efficiency and eliminate potential safety risks, the system will perform a series of actions such as application adaptation, background optimization and security scanning. so, the system will occupy more CPU, memory and other resources, which may cause slight hanging and faster power consumption.
