If your have an iPhone that’s operating at a snail’s pace, you don’t have to resort to chucking it out and starting over with a brand new phone. Sometimes the smallest changes, including deleting an app or two, can make a world of difference. Not convinced? Jonathan Tian, Co-Founder of Mobitrix, is a tech expert who says this unexpected app may be why your iPhone is so slow.

“Often, when your Apple mobile phones are running slow, they start causing you irritation a lot,” Tian says. “One of the biggest reasons behind that dullness is some culprit applications. Many experts like me from Apple also suggest you should never download these applications on your iPhone because it makes your device slower than usual.”

This is the first app to have on your radar (followed by two more than Tian recommends getting rid of is speed is a concern).

Google Chrome

“Chrome is one of the worst applications to download on an iPhone because it grows in size and can make your device storage full,” Tian says. “Not only that, but this application also causes many privacy concerns in the device of Apple. So you just need to avoid this application on your iPhone.”

VPN Changer 

 


“Many people use third-party VPN changers on their iPhones because of their easy accessibility,” Tian says. “But they don’t know that it makes a device slower due to unsuitability with iPhones. Apart from that, they can use their inbuilt iPhone VPN changer.”

 


Social Networking Apps 

 


Social networking apps are the ultimate distraction — and the ultimate battery drainer. “One of the biggest reasons behind the slowness in iPhone is applications like Facebook and Instagram,” Tian says. “These applications are on regular update and they even do that when you aren’t using them and cause slowness on your iPhone.”
