The apps on your phone aren’t just there to keep you entertained and productive (depending, of course, on the app itself). Certain apps can wreak havoc on your device and could be the reason why you’ve noticed it stalling lately and not working as effectively as it could be. The good news is that you likely won’t have to delete the apps you love most if your goal is to make your phone work better, but Tech Expert Imani Francies at ExpertInsuranceReviews.com says there are four app types that are worth getting rid of if you want your phone to run like it’s brand new again.
App Type #1 – Apps You Are Not Using
“Background apps that are infrequently used might clog up your phone,” Francies says. “That's why it's a good idea to check through your phone's apps and delete any that you barely use or do not use at all.”
App Type #2 – Apps That Have Been Pulled from the App Store
“In certain circumstances, the apps that are slowing down your iPhone have been removed from the App Store,” Francies says. “These types of applications will never be updated. You must either accept that it will slow down your phone or find a replacement app.”
App Type #4 – Apps That Use High-Quality Graphics
“If you limit the amount of work that the Central Processing Unit (CPU) needs to do while showing sophisticated visuals, your iPhone will operate a bit quicker,” Francies says. “So uninstalling apps that use high-quality graphics can keep your phone from slowing down.”
