Happy Saturday! The operating system of the iPhone, iOS, is not a system that tends to deteriorate its performance too easily, at least until a minimum of two or three years pass, with their respective updates and accumulations on the same device. Quite the opposite of what usually happens to many Android users, accustomed to performing clean restorations of the operating system more frequently with the intention of maintaining impeccable performance. However, everything is memorable, and so is the performance of iOS. Therefore, we are going to recommend some tips to improve the performance of your iPhone if you notice slowness or some other recurring error.
We are going to remind you of some fairly obvious points, and others that are not so obvious, that will help you to keep your iPhone always on top, because if we carry out continued care of it, it will appreciate it by showing better aging and lighter performance. !
Have you updated to the latest version?
Contrary to what many people may say, it is important that we have the operating system updated to the latest version, it may seem like bullshit, but for users who come from other operating systems, little given to recurring updates, the fact may be forgetful keep the device updated. That is why it is recommended that every so often we go through Settings> General> Software Update, so we can know if our device is updated to the latest version. As a usual rule, the system itself will notify us of an update, however, on some occasions that notification never arrives (I have checked it myself). So, be aware of whether or not you are on the latest version of iOS, as Apple constantly fixes performance and security issues.
Too many background updates
Background updates can be great, or very poor… it all depends on who the developer of the application is. For example, the Facebook background update it is a destruction for the performance of the device and for the autonomy of the same. Therefore, it is recommended that we go to Settings> General> Background Update, to keep an eye on which applications are running background tasks. We must make a sieve here, and leave activated only those that we know are well developed or those that we know we are going to use, because… why do we want Time updating in the background if we do not use it? Just to give an example. Now it's up to you to decide which one can stay and which one cannot, the autonomy of the device will thank you.
Monitor the cache stored by applications
It is a functionality that unfortunately is not available in applications where it is very necessary such as Instagram, but the cache cleaner It is a utility that we must take into account, for example Google Drive and Telegram will allow us from within the application itself (in the settings section) to clean the cache, therefore, a good number of junk files that occupy space in the device and also hinder performance rather than improve it. Another way to do a general cleaning of the device is to monitor the storage, and when we have little left, we can access the iOS App Store and try to download an application that weighs more than the space we have free, so we will see a text that reads "cleaning ..." under the applications and space will be released automatically.
Restart the device from time to time
Never shutting down the device also causes some processes to get stuck and running in a loop. For this reason, we recommend that from time to time we perform a small "reset" to the device. On iPhone before iPhone 7, it is done by holding down Home + Power for approximately five seconds; In the iPhone 7 we will have to press the Vol- + Power button since we do not have a physical Home button.
These are my recommendations so that you slightly improve the performance of your iPhone, to make it a constant maintenance to help you improve the processing. If you have your own "tricks", feel free to tell us in the comment box.
Infallible trick:
If you update via ota (directly with the phone in settings) the operating system goes much slower than if you do it from scratch and without backup (I mean not to install an old copy of your profile via icloud, but to leave it blank as iphone new) wired to computer via itunes. It does not have color. Try. Greetings
Fantastic contribution, it's true
I also think that it is true but it creates a mental conflict for me that I cannot quite resolve. So what good is iCloud if I can't restore it? Obviously I already know that it is used for many things, but in the case of backups and restoration, there is something that escapes me and I do not understand what it is for me if it is better to lose everything and start from scratch.
Regards!
It is not true ... I have been installing all the betas on my devices without doing a clean restore from iOS 8 and it goes like a shot! I compare it with another 7 Plus and they are exactly the same in fluidity and openness of apps, exactly the same !!! So that is a myth like the crown of a pine!
