#2: Disable Background Syncing and Auto Update

Background Syncing:

Another way to fix the ping issue in PUBG Mobile is to stop background syncing of apps manually. You can do so on any smartphone device by opening the 'Settings' and going to 'Apps'. Then select the suspicious app and tap on 'Restrict data usage'. Now, uncheck both the options 'WLAN \ WiFi' and 'Mobile data'. Similarly, you can configure the 'Battery Saver' settings to restrict background activity in your mobile.

Auto Update:

Similarly, you can also disable the 'Auto Update' option from the Google Play Store. Here are the steps to follow in this regard:

1. Google Play Store
2. Settings
3. Auto-Update apps
4. Don't auto-update apps

#3: Use VPN

Sometimes due to heavy traffic, the game servers can’t take multiple requests and that leads to higher ping rates. To avoid the same, you can simply change the server in PUBG Mobile and see if ping drops below 100. Besides that, you can also use a VPN that will connect you to a different server. There are various free VPN applications present in the App store. You can install any one of them.

#4: Close Background Applications

Before starting the PUBG Mobile game, make sure you close all other apps to reduce the ping in the game. Apps which are running in the background usually increase the data consumption on your network. Consider removing all the recent applications or ensure that only important apps are kept. Most of the times, this technique helps you to reduce the ping in the game.
