Clear Up Space
This may be obvious to some people, but many often forget how important clearing up space on your iPhone is in order to have a faster phone. The more free space you have, the faster your phone will run. It would be best if you try to have at least 10GB of free space at all times, of around 10 percent of available storage. The best way to do this is by deleting unnecessary files.
Here are some things you should clear out:
- Photos: If you’ve got hundreds of photos on your iPhone, try syncing them to iPhoto on your desktop or backing them up through iCloud and erasing them from your phone.
- Delete apps you don’t use: Figure out how much storage your apps are occupying by opening Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- Delete old text messages: Under iPhone Storage, you’ll be able to view Top Messages, which are the ones that take up the most space. Delete ones you no longer need.
- Empty Safari’s cache: Your iPhone should be treated like a computer. With that said, it is important to empty Safari’s cache to keep it running smoothly. Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
