Make iPhone Faster with Simple Tricks

I am a big fan of iPhone! What about you? I think you are also a big fan of iPhone and you carry it almost all the time you move in a day. Right? As person from IT background, I had to deal with a lot of iPhone problem and the complain from the users were almost the same. Why my iPhone is slow? How to make iPhone faster? People from all background and from all ages use smartphones specially the iPhone because of its unique feature and lucrative design. But all of them are not having the technology knowledge, which is normal. Everyone is not a jack of all trades and master of nothing like me!  🙂 But I really want to help the iPhone users so they do not face those common problems while using iPhone! I want to make iPhone faster.

The common problems that I have seen in the handset of iPhone users are listed below:

• A huge number of tabs opened without any purpose.
• The history of the iPhone browser is not cleaned.
• iPhone OS is not updated to the latest version of iOS.
• Apps are not updated to the latest version.
• A lot of unwanted videos, music and images in the iPhone storage.
• The screen is dirty which makes the touch screen less sensitive.

1.Close All the Apps You Are not Using to Make iPhone Faster:

Let me write it in a simple and easy way so that each and every person will understand it. In your iPhone there are a lot of Apps. Your Camera, Safari, Google Maps, Message, Contacts everything is an app or application. When you use the camera or any other app, the app starts working. When an app works, it uses some space in the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the iPhone. Suppose, you were using the camera and taking the picture and at the same time you without closing the app, you started to find some address in Google maps. So, what is happening in this case? You camera app is open in the background which is using your CPU speed, which is totally a waste. But if you had closed the camera app, you could have saved  CPU usage, which may have enhanced the speed of the iPhone.

In the above example, I have only mentioned about two apps. But in real life I have seen people who had opened a lot of tabs in the background and in those tabs a lot of apps are running, which are using the battery and increasing CPU usage at the same time.

You can avoid this type of scenario easily. Just double press on the “round” menu tab of your iPhone and you will be able to see all the apps that are working at the background. If there is any app open which you are not using, please swipe upward and by this way you will be able to close those apps easily.

2.Clean History of Your Safari Browser:

This is another common problem in a lot of iPhone. I have seen a lot of people do not clear the history of their iPhone browser “Safari” history data. This makes their search slow. When they try to open the Safari, it takes a lot of time to open the browser because it loads all the previous history. But if you clear all the previous history, the browser becomes faster and it makes the surfing experience faster.

To clean the history from your Safari browser, please go to the Settings>> Scroll down to Safari >> Click on Safari >> Clear History & Website Data to clear previous history. You can also read the article Delete Browsing History from Safari iPhone Browser.

3.Update iPhone iOS to the Latest Version to Make iPhone Faster:

Not all the iPhones are installed with the latest iOS version. This may happen that after two days of buying your iPhone, Apple releases a new version of iOS. This iOS becomes available to your iPhone shortly. This may happen that Apple updated the version as there were some bugs or defects in the previous version. So, this is always intelligent to update your iPhone to the latest version. But in real life scenario, I have found there are two or more updates available to the software tab of your iPhone and you are not updating it as you do not know how to check it or you totally forgot to check it.

To check for the software updates, simply go to the Settings>>General>>Software Update >> If there is any update available please update to the latest iOS. Please be noted that always plugin your device  to the power and connect to a data/internet network while updating your device to the latest version or make sure your device has enough power before updating. Updating your iPhone to the latest iOS will make your device faster.

4.Apps You Use Are not Updated:

This is really not good for your iPhone speed optimization when you are using some App like Facebook or Instagram and your Facebook or Instagram is not updated to the latest version. This affects in the process of optimization of your device. Please keep all your apps up to date. To check for the app updates, please go to your App store>> Click on Updates>> If there is any update, there will be notifications in red>> click on the red notification >> Click on update. Then your app will get updated. Please make sure you have a data/internet connection to update your apps. This will make your iPhone user experience smooth.

5. Move Unwanted File From iPhone Storage to Make iPhone Faster:

A lot of people take a lot of picture and record a lot of videos with their iPhone and store it in their device itself. When you have 32GB memory space and you are using 27 GB of it, naturally your device will become slow and you will not be able to use it smoothly. Transfer all your unwanted or less used pictures and videos to your computer or other storage device. Free some storage in your iPhone which will make iPhone faster.

6. Clean iPhone Touch Screen:

A lot of people will not believe this as a cause of a slow iPhone. But in real practice, this is true. I have seen a lot of people who are struggling to go from one navigation screen to another or struggling to type texts as the screen is dirty. So, the touch screen is not working properly and the screen becomes less sensitive and they blame their phone for being slow and less responsive to the action. But the problem is simple! If the user of the job is a painter or a carpenter or a construction worker, this is very much possible that the iPhone screen may have some dust which can make the touch screen less responsive or less sensitive. If you recognize the iPhone screen is not that clean please take a wipe and clean the screen of you iPhone.
