Answer
We will first take a look at your in-game settings. Open up Call of Duty Mobile and navigate to your Audio and Graphics settings tab, which will greatly impact the performance and quality of your gameplay. These settings will be set for a low to the mid-end device, as it will in turn also reduce distractions generated by the game and will help you run Call of Duty Mobile smoothly on any mobile device you wish to use. In the Graphics tab, set the Graphic Quality setting to your available performance. You will most likely want to set this option to Low or Medium. Below, set the Frame Rate option to Maximum. This will give you the highest possible FPS, which will, in most cases, be bottlenecked by your display's refresh rate. The Graphic Style option will not impact your performance, so set this according to your preference.

You can manually adjust your screen below
You can manually adjust your screen below. This is useful for users who have a notch on their device where otherwise, the game controls could be too close to the screen sides.
Tap on Start Shader Preload
Tap on Start Shader Preload. This will preload the game’s shaders before joining a game, reducing lag and loading times. Ensure you have a few minutes to spare, as this step can take some time.
Close Background Apps
After applying your changes, prevent other applications from running in the background. Especially resource-intensive applications or apps that use up your network connection can impact your Call of Duty Mobile gaming experience.
Device 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 download and install the latest update in case one is available.
Ensure Enough Storage Space for COD Mobile
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 Call of Duty Mobile performance and reduce FPS drops, you will need enough storage on your device. Games like Call of Duty Mobile 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. We suggest ensuring you have at least 3GB of free storage left.
Disable Background App Refresh
Back in your General settings, tab on Background App Refresh. Turn this setting off while in-game to prevent your device from updating other applications while in-game. 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 Call of Duty.
Restart Device
Restart your mobile device if you haven’t done this in a while. This will restart some services and processes and increase your performance when playing Call of Duty Mobile.
