Every now and then when your iPhone decides to slow down and take forever to load apps and pages, you may stomp your feet (even if metaphorically) and wish for ways to quickly bring it up to speed. Many of the tips you’ll hear consist of important steps on how to extend the life of your battery or free up storage — both important steps, but ones that can take a little time and dedication on your part. If you don’t have an hour to devote to deleting numerous videos and photos, these quick fixes can do the trick (but don’t neglect taking more significant steps when you do have time to help speed up your phone). This is the best way to speed up your iPhone immediately, according to experts.
Reboot Your Device
One way to make your iPhone run at a faster speed is to simply reboot your device, said Tech Expert Jacob Richard, founder of Camera Prism. “This can help clear out any memory issues and help the device run more efficiently,” Richard said. “Another way to speed up your iPhone is to delete any unused apps. These apps can take up valuable space and resources, so getting rid of them can help improve performance.”
Finally, Richard said, you can try resetting your device to its factory settings. “This will erase all data and start the device from scratch, which can sometimes be the best way to get a fresh start and improve performance,” he said.
Or … You Can Just Restart Your Phone
Looking for the absolute simplest solution to a lagging phone? Follow this common tech tip: turn your device off and then on again. (No, really).
“It refreshes the system by fixing some of the glitches that cause the iPhone to slow down,” said Crystal Kadir Gp Expert at itsmeandyou.com (IM&Y). “It involves turning off the phone for 30 seconds and restarting it.”
Closing unused apps is also a great idea because some apps are resource-intensive, which makes it difficult for the iPhone to multitask appropriately, Kadir said. “Some apps that slow down the iPhone include; a photo editor, video editor and apps for the game,” Kadir said. “Close them to allow the phone to work effectively.”
When you’re in a rush and your phone is misbehaving (or just working at a snail’s pace), try these quick fixes for instant speedier gratification.
