There comes a time in the life of every iPhone and iPad that, although they have no visible faults, they work slower and slower. This is one of the most frequent and annoying problems among these types of devices, especially the older the hardware components are. However, improving its performance is possible. Here are tricks to make your iPhone and iPad work faster.
Clear Cache to Make Your iPhone and iPad Work Faster
If the iPhone or iPad is very slow, it may be that your device has accumulated too much data in the cache. Every time you access a web page with your iOS device, it stores data from it and accumulates it in what we call cache memory. This data ranges from cookies to access data, which makes the device go slower and slower if you fail to erase this data from time to time.
To empty the cache there are different options. If your usual browser is Safari, all you have to do is go into ‘Settings’ and select the application in question. From there, you will only need to select the option “Delete history and website data” and confirm that you want to delete this data. In the case of using another browser, you must access the ‘Privacy’ section of the browser in question. From there you have to look for the option “Clear browsing data” and then confirm it.
Free Up Your RAM
For specific performance problems, or in the event that a particular application suddenly malfunctions, it is best to free up the RAM. System data, files, and temporary settings are stored in RAM. You can remove them when you turn off or restart the device. Currently, most people rarely turn off their mobile phones and that may be one of the reasons why performance drops.
“Refreshing” the RAM is as simple as this:
- Make sure the iPhone or iPad is unlocked.
- Then press the side button on the iPhone (or top button on the iPad) until the “slide to power off” screen appears.
- Press and hold the Home button for several seconds, until the device’s home screen appears again.
It’s that simple! That’s how easy it is to make your iPhone and iPad work faster.
With these simple steps, you should notice a big difference on your device. Remember that these tips are for occasional annoyances, and if the performance of your Apple devices is not as expected, it is always advisable to go to a professional for a thorough check-up.
