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.
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.

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.
