This is the method to use if you are using an Android device that hasn’t been rooted. The App is called Speedify 4.0 and is available for download on the Google Play Store, so you won’t have to go searching any untrustworthy sites to get a copy.
Once you have downloaded and installed the app on your device, it’s quite simple to use and thankfully it doesn’t require a silly Facebook login or account creation, although the option does exist. Speedify also doubles as a VPN so if you aren’t already using a VPN on your phone, this is a pretty good, easy to use option. Using the app is very straightforward, there are only a couple of options On/Off, encrypted/unencrypted, and 2-speed options that focus on either speed or reliability.
