We use our phones for nearly everything, which is why the slightest bug or glitch can feel unbearable.
If your iPhone feels like it's running a bit slow, there's usually a problem that can be easily solved.
Two years of everyday use can take a toll on your iPhone, but these tips and tricks should be able to hold you over until your next upgrade.
Get rid of old photosDeleting unnecessary files is another great way to speed up your phone. If you've got hundreds of photos on your iPhone, try syncing them to iPhoto on your desktop or backing them up through iCloud and erasing them from your phone.
Delete apps that take up a lot of space.
The more bloated your iPhone is, the slower it's going to run. To see how much space a single app is occupying, head over to Settings>General>Usage.
Erase old text message threads
Back in 2004, I remember consistently being frustrated with my Motorola Razr for its agonizingly slow performance. As it turns out, the problem was my own fault. I never deleted any text messages, so it literally weighed down the phone's software. Today's smartphones have come a long way since then, but deleting your old text message threads is still important to keep your phone as speedy as possible.
Empty Safari's cache
Treat your iPhone like you would a computer. This means you need to empty Safari's cache to keep it running smoothly. To do this, head over to Settings>Safari>Clear History. Then tap Clear Cookies and Data, which is located right underneath Clear History.
Turn off auto app updates
If your iPhone is running a little slow, that's because it may be trying to update apps in the background. Try updating your apps manually instead. To change this in your settings, head over to Settings>iTunes & App Store >Automatic Downloads. Switch the sliders to off mode where it says Updates.
