Here's some tips for making your iPhone run more efficiently and last longer!

Delete the selfies, yes you know what you look like and while your hair  may be “extra cute” in a pic, delete it unless there is an extreme importance to keep it

Delete any other pictures

Download any pictures or documents from your phone to your computer, then delete them from your phone

Get rid of the songs that you always hit skip for, you won’t listen to them, so why keep them?

Get rid of the apps you don’t use

Turn your phone off at night, yes that means invest in a real alarm clock

If you can find it using safari, you don’t need an app for it. Easy as that. If there’s nothing special about the app version, delete it.

Let your battery die, yes, let it die. Letting your battery use its full capacity will teach it to last longer so it doesn’t die at 40%. There’s a lot of chemistry and physics involved, so I’ll leave it at that.

Turn off data for the apps you won’t need data for

Better yet, turn off your data, only use wifi for apps

Having pretty much any issue? Turn off your phone and turn it back on.

Phone frozen? Holding the circle button and the lock button for about 20 seconds will restart your phone.

Protect your phone, it was expensive. Get a scratch proof screen cover, a good case, and try not to put your phone in a position where it will get dropped or be flooded by water damage.

You don’t HAVE to download the latest update. In fact, don’t! It’ll only slow you down more. In the meantime, clean out your phone as much as you can, and hold down the fort until you qualify for an upgrade.
