MetaMask
**Title:** Unacceptable Performance of MetaMask Wallet on Android: Transactions Executing at a Glacial Pace
What is this about?
Description:
I am compelled to express my frustration regarding the abysmal performance of the MetaMask wallet on my Android device. The application operates with a disconcerting sluggishness that renders it nearly unusable. Not only does the interface lag significantly when navigating through the app, but the execution of transactions is inexplicably slow, often stretching into an exasperatingly long wait that feels more like a test of patience than a functional digital wallet.
Steps to Reproduce:
Upon launching the MetaMask application on my Android device, I attempt to execute a transaction—specifically, transferring tokens. It is at this juncture that the app's deficiencies become glaringly apparent, as I am met with a prolonged delay that borders on absurdity.
Expected Behavior:
One would reasonably expect a cryptocurrency wallet to function efficiently, providing swift responses to user interactions and promptly executing transactions.
Actual Behavior:
Regrettably, the reality is far removed from this expectation. The app exhibits a troubling lag when navigating screens, and the execution of transactions is fraught with delays, often leading to timeout errors and considerable frustration.
Additional Information:
- MetaMask version: Android
- Android version: 12.0
- Device model: Oppo
- Network conditions: Wi-Fi
Suggestions:
It is imperative that the development team acknowledges these critical issues and provides clarity regarding whether this is a known problem. Furthermore, I urge the team to prioritize solutions to rectify this intolerable state of affairs.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing matter.

Hi @TommyVersety . Thanks for reporting the issue.
Does your device support Android 13? If so my recommendation would be to update to Android 13 or later if possible.

No it does not
Android 15 and it is SUPER slow (7.40.0). Incomparable to Phantom or Metamask ios. Unusable basically.
7.42.0 (1587) - iOS is at least two times faster that Android. Sometimes app can freeze for 10+ seconds on Android, especially when switching between accounts. Buttons has to be tapped 2-3 times, simulations takes several seconds, etc.
Android 14, Samsung S24 Ultra

Hi @TommyVersety, Thanks for reporting this. Have you observed a recent regression in terms of performance, or has this been a long-standing issue on your end?
