One of the reasons I have an iPhone is because of the fluidity and speed of its operating system, but like all computing devices, action is needed from time to time, especially on older devices, if you have an iPhone. 6 or lower, take a look at this post, it is possible that if you follow the advice your iPhone will recover the good shape it was when you bought it.
In this post you will not find miracles, but we are not going to make you deactivate everything that can be deactivated so that you are left with little more than a brick, they are maintenance tasks that will help you recover fluidity and autonomy.
Tricks to make the iPhone go faster
1. Eliminate all the junk you don't need.
We all tend to store things we don't need or use. We download hundreds of applications, we try them and forget them forever, however we do not take the step of removing them, you know, the cautious syndrome, "I don't uninstall it, maybe one day I need it..."
However, these applications that you accumulate take up space and resources on your iPhone, we advise you to check which ones take up the most and evaluate whether they really should be there or not.
To check, go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage wait a while until the applications you have installed load, you will see a very clear list of all your applications and the size they occupy, review them and, when you see one that does not deserve to be on your iPhone, touch it, you will see an option to delete it directly.
2. Treat your iPhone like a computer and clear the browser cache from time to time
Deleting Cookies and browser history can have a very positive effect on the performance of your iPhone, especially when surfing the net, from time to time it is good to clean.
Doing it is very simple, go to Settings, scroll down until you see the section Safari, tap on it and look for the section Delete history y web data, delete it all
3. Delete old Text messages
Specifically, we are going to talk about iMessage in this section, but what you see you can also apply in other instant messaging applications, we tend to save all conversations "Just in case", but if we do without the oldest conversations or those that we do not need, any application of this type it will behave better and you will notice more speed in it.
Deleting messages in iMessage is very easy, enter a conversation and hold down the message you want to delete, two options will be displayed, tap on the one that says But… Now you will only have selected the message that you have touched, if you want to select more, do so by touching the circle that you will see on the right. You can also delete them all by touching the button at the top left of the screen, the one that says Delete all. If you have selected only certain messages to delete, when you are done, click on the trash can icon that you will see in the lower left part of the screen.
4. Disable background updates.
It is very convenient to enjoy the latest news from your favorite applications without having to do anything, but if your iPhone is one of those that suffers in speed and battery life You're going to have to choose between this or the upgrades.
If you decide to deactivate this option, go to Settings/General and Background refresh and in the section Update in the background Choose DO NOT. You can also select which applications are updated in the background and which are not, in the list of applications that you will see in the previous step, move the buttons to the left in the applications that you are not interested in updating in the background.
5. Turn off location services you don't need
This is valid advice to increase the speed and fluidity of your iPhone, but it also positively affects battery life and your privacy. Many applications ask us for permission to use the location when it is not really necessary for it to work. If you have many applications installed, it is possible that you have given permissions that you no longer want to keep or, simply, you have done it without realizing it.
To see which applications are using the location go to Settings/Privacy/Location You will be surprised at the number of applications that are using this feature, leave only the strictly necessary ones activated, such as map applications, and deactivate the others, those that do not need to locate you to work, you will see that they are the vast majority….
If even following these tips you do not notice enough improvement, you may have other problems, try hard reset your iPhoneYou always notice improvement.
