What does rebooting mean? Here’s how it works on Android phone

Rebooting an Android phone refers to switching off the device and turning it on again. This process mainly requires a computerized system and is helpful at times when your handset is freezing, lagging, and buffering a lot after a new update installation.

Note that there is a difference between Reboot and Reset. The former means to restart your handset without losing your data. Meanwhile, the latter indicates a complete deletion of all the data and brings the device to its original condition.

In simple words, Reboot helps in clearing temporary glitches, and issues that often result in malfunctioning of the device.
