Some iPhone apps do exactly what they’re supposed to do. They’re fun, they connect you to friends and family, they offer convenience in your life, and they may even make your life easier and better. But some apps are also extremely resource intensive, which means they could be taxing your device, snatching up data, and running your battery down.
If you’re in the mood to clean up your device and apps, start by getting rid of a few or changing the settings on these four worst iPhone apps that are slowing down your phone and taking up space.
