A slow iPhone can be frustrating, but you don’t need expensive apps or special tools to speed things up. These quick steps can make a noticeable difference.
1. Restart Your iPhone Once a Week
This clears background processes and frees up memory.
Just hold the side button → Slide to power off → Turn back on.
2. Delete Old Photos, Videos, and Apps
Go to Settings → General → iPhone Storage
Your phone will even suggest what to remove.
3. Turn Off Background App Refresh
Many apps run silently in the background, slowing things down.
Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Off.
4. Update iOS Regularly
Updates often include performance improvements.
Go to Settings → General → Software Update.
5. Clear Safari Website Data
This can speed up your browsing significantly.
Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data
