Experts Say To Follow These Quick Simple Steps If Your iPhone Is Slowing Down Or Glitching

Your iPhone can be so slow at times — and it might be difficult to figure out the source of its slowdown.

But when your phone is simply refusing to operate at a pace that meets the needs of the tasks you have at hand, you may find yourself frustrated and searching for ways to speed up your device. 

You don’t have to spend money or lots of time correcting this issue. Tech experts recommend following a few simple steps that can speed your phone up:

Try these tips for a faster, more efficient phone that won’t drive you up a wall. 

Background App Refresh is a setting that makes it possible for apps to refresh their content all of the time — which means the moment you’re ready to click on that app, it is ready for fresh, new content for you. But if you think about how often this feature is actually helpful, and whether the tradeoff (a slower phone) makes it worth it, you may discover it’s not all that necessary.
