Is your iPhone slow? It is normal that after a while of use the device does not perform as if it was removed from its box. Applications, photos, software versions, and other factors affect the performance of your iPhone. Fortunately, there are some tricks that we can use to improve the speed of our mobile. Surely these 8 you did not know.
Check the battery status
A few years ago, Apple confirmed that the performance of the device decreased as the battery was wearing out. These components have a shorter life than the rest of the terminal boards and modules, and to avoid major problems, the performance is adjusted to the battery capacity. If you have an old iPhone, you have probably noticed a drop in performance, and it is probably because of this. First of all, head to Settings> Battery> Battery Health. Check the maximum capacity of the battery. If it is below 50 percent, they will likely ask you to change it.
If the system warns that the capacity is low, and that the performance is being limited to avoid unexpected blackouts, it is best to change the battery of your iPhone. You can contact technical support. Of course, it is not within the guarantee, and changing it through official technical support can cost from 55 euros for models such as the iPhone 6, 6S, 7, 8, 8 Plus and others. Or, 75 euros for the iPhone X and higher models (Xs, Xs Max, XR, iPhone 11…).
Battery settings in iOS 13
Delete the apps you don't use
Delete all those applications that you do not use or that are not essential on your iPhone. They may need resources in the background and are hogging some RAM that could be used for other tasks. To uninstall an app, press and hold the icon for a long time. Then, click on the 'X' that will appear in the upper corner.
You can also activate the option to uninstall apps that you don't use. This will automatically uninstall your least-used apps when your device is low on storage. You'll find this option in Settings> General> iPhone Storage.
Turn off background updates
So you can disable background updates in iOS 13.
When we install an application, Apple activates the update in the background automatically. Therefore, all the applications that we have installed on the iPhone will update themselves when necessary. On many occasions we do not need low-use apps to update themselves. To disable background update for an app, go to Settings> General> Background update. Then uncheck the box for the apps you prefer.
Restart your iPhone
If you have noticed that the iPhone hangs on any occasion, or that an app does not open correctly, it is probably due to a temporary failure. To fix it, you just have to restart your iPhone
Delete photos, videos or other files
Delete photos, videos, or other files that may be taking up space on the iPhone's internal storage. Believe it or not, these types of files can slow down the terminal, since they are pending in the iCloud backup and in constant synchronization. Just browse your gallery and delete those photos and videos that you don't think are necessary. If you have any other documents, delete them from the Files app on your iPhone.
Turn off battery saver mode
This mode can be useful if you want to save some battery, but you should deactivate it if your iPhone is slow and you want to improve performance. The low power option limits performance, disables notifications and stops background processes and downloads. It focuses on saving battery life, and not higher performance. Therefore, animations are somewhat slower and an app may take longer to open.
Don't close the apps
It may seem counterintuitive, but you shouldn't close the apps. The reason? Because that way they will open quickly after use . The system is able to detect which application needs a background process, so it is not necessary to close it completely. If you do, then it will take longer to open. Yes, you can close the apps that you use every so often.
Be careful with the apps you download
Although Apple tends to exhaustively control the applications that enter the App Store, you may find an app to optimize performance, or an anti virus that will help us make the iPhone safer . It is not necessary to download these types of applications, since they will not work at all and will be taking up space in our internal memory, in addition to using RAM for updates and background processes.
