A friends phone keeps rebooting, & when it does it resets their theme to the default theme. A couple times it has gotten stuck on the bootscreen requiring a battery pull to fix it. Just now after opening google photos which they have been using for a long time without any problems a popup suddenly appeared asking for permissions to access photos & wouldn't allow access with clicking allow. The phone is a Galaxy On5.

The phone is pretty old and has only 1.5GB RAM. For modern apps this not much. Make sure to disable everything that costs unnecessary RAM like animated background, high-res background image, lots of widgets. Also think about using more "light" apps (Google, Facebook and others provide "light" editions that work better on older devices). – Robert Nov 11 '20 at 21:33

I just had to factory reset it using the recovery (hold volume down+power+home). For light apps Hermit is good. – jastako Nov 12 '20 at 00:12
