Tech Experts Agree: The One Tech Habit You Have To Stop ASAP—It’s Slowing Your iPhone!

It isn’t what you do just once with your iPhone that makes the biggest difference. Good tech habits form the basis of a well-functioning phone, and knowing which bad habit to avoid can save you battery power, data, and boost your online privacy. Tech Expert Steven Walker, CEO ofSpylix, shares the one tech habit you have to stop ASAP because it slows down your iPhone (as well as a few more habits to keep on your radar).

Sure, it takes up a few precious moments of your day, but updating your phone’s software is so important in order to ensure your device works as well as possible, according to Walker. “You should update it today because of the delay in the update phone, and the apps in it may not perform to their best, so if your iPhone is slowing down, then your should update it today,” Walker says.

Don’t wait until you receive that annoying “Storage Full” pop-up on your iPhone — continually free up space so that you can always download docs or shoot videos without delay.“Many people have the habit of not deleting anything unless the message comes to them that their storage is getting full,” Walker says. “They do not know when most of their storage gets full; their phone starts getting slower, so to avoid this condition, they should free up space when their storage almost gets full.”
