The One Default App Apple Doesn’t Want You To Know Is Slowing Your iPhone

It’s easy to assume that default apps are exactly what they should be — they come with your iPhone after all, which must mean they should stay as they are, right? But not all default apps are completely harmless. Some, in fact, can slow down your device and make it work less efficiently. This is the one default app Apple doesn’t want you to know is slowing your iPhone.

The mail app is one default app that Jonathan Tian, co-founder of Mobitrix, a US-based smartphone solution provider for data transfer and iOS system errors, etc., says can potentially slow down an iPhone.

“Default application like the Mail app are continuously running in the background, looking for updates, and sending notifications as soon as the new mail pops up,” Tian says. “However, one way to prevent them from slowing down the phone is to minimize the occurrence where it provides updates and keep it refreshing while using it only.”
