The One Setting Apple Doesn’t Want You To Know Is Making Your iPhone Glitch

Some Apple settings are low-key heroes — settings like Airplane Mode, which you can actually turn on while charging your phone for an even faster charge. The focus is often on the best and brightest iPhone settings, and those that aren’t doing your phone any favors tend to fade into the background. But some settings can slow your phone down and do a number on its battery. This is the one setting Apple doesn’t want you to know is making your iPhone glitch.

Some graphic settings can seriously slow down your iPhone, especially the fancy graphics, i.e. the non-essential ones, according to Eric McGee, Senior Network Engineer at TRGDatacenters. “The CPU is forced to do a lot of work to display these non-essential graphics, sapping the phone’s memory and processing capabilities,” McGee says. “Turn on the ‘Reduce Transparency’, and ‘Reduce Motion’ settings to disable the transparency and motion graphic features respectively.”

And while you’re taking care of some of the more questionable settings on your phone, Tech Expert Arshad Saqib at techinbucket recommends changing these three settings, as well.
