No one is excited about dropping hundreds of dollars on a device that doesn’t work as well as it should. But, for some reason, many iPhone users feel like they just have to put up with a slow phone and that the culprit must be something that isn’t within their control. The truth is: there are plenty of steps you can take to help speed up your phone, and most of them will set you back no more than a couple of minutes out of your day.
If you’re fed up with a phone that seems to be working on its time schedule and won’t load pages quickly or send texts quickly — or do just about anything quickly — here are seven Apple-approved tips for an instantly faster iPhone.
Free Up Storage SpaceHands down, one of the leading causes of a slow phone is a lack of storage space. Your phone could be taking up so much space from resource-taxing apps, too many photos and videos, and files you never delete, like stored music and podcasts. To quickly free up storage space, start with your Photos app. Save all photos and videos that are important to you on iCloud and delete the rest. That’s right: simply delete them (we know: it will feel painful at first). Then, take things one step further and permanently delete these files. Your phone’s storage will thank you.
