8 Hacks That Can Speed Up A Slow iPhone— Don’t Skip #7!

Got a slow iPhone? Not sure how to deal with its slowness so you sort of doing nothing at all and have resigned yourself to owning a super-slow device that can’t keep up? 

It doesn’t have to be this way. There are some simple hacks and tricks that can boost your iPhone battery, reduce the amount of storage space that certain apps and settings are taking up, and just plain get your phone back up to working speed. 

Here are eight great hacks that can speed up a slow iPhone.

If you want to share a photo from your photo album to a text message or email, you don’t have to go through the process of clicking on the image and sending it. Instead, you can tap and hold the photo for a second, then move your thumb or finger a little bit, and lift the photo from the app. If you want to move several photos, move them with your other hand. Then use your other hand to swipe up, access your Messages app, and place the photo in your message. 

The Files app can be a game-changer. In the Photos app, select photos you want to send and click on the ellipses at the bottom of the screen. Choose “copy” and open the Files app. Tap and hold somewhere and then click “paste.” Here you can compress these files and add them to a Zip file but clicking on the ellipses at the bottom. From here you can also convert each image to a JPEG if they’re too large. This makes it easier to share photos that are too large to otherwise send. 

There may be times when you want to share your WiFi password, and when the permissions pop-up you receive that asks if that user can share your network doesn’t work. There is another option during these times. Head into Settings > WiFi > tap the “i” button next to your WiFi connection, then tap on the password. Your phone will verify that it’s you and then show you your WiFi password. You can now copy and paste that password to whomever you’re trying to help access your WiFi connection. 

Whether you love it or hate it, Siri can perform some pretty convenient functions for you. It can even make conversions, such as converting measurements when you’re cooking or money conversions such as converting U.S. dollars into Euros or Pounds. Not only will it deliver accurate conversations, but it provide up-to-date information.
