You can adjust settings and get rid of photos and videos on your iPhone, but if you truly want to make a dent in getting your device to work more effectively, sometimes the best thing you can do is delete apps that are taking up major storage and battery power. If you’re not sure where to start, Tech Expert Drew Romero from tkxel.com has a few suggestions. These are the best apps to delete to if you want your iPhone to run faster.
Social Media Apps:You knew this one would be at the top of the list, right? “Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat are notorious for consuming excessive system resources, such as CPU, memory, and battery,” Romero says. “These apps constantly run background processes, receive push notifications, and collect data, leading to performance degradation over time.”
If you aren’t willing to party with all of your social media apps, choosing a few and keeping one is a good way to start. Or you can even delete the Facebook app and use Facebook via your browser instead.
Unused or Infrequently Used Apps:Many users accumulate a significant number of apps on their iPhones that they rarely or never use, Romero notes. “These apps still take up storage space and may have background processes running, affecting system performance,” he says. “Removing these unused apps can free up storage and improve overall responsiveness.”
