As far as restarting the mobile phone is concerned, you may have come across various jokes mainly on account of the Android operating system. Apple phone users often pick on "Androids" for the fact that these devices often crash and that they have poor memory management. At one time, Samsung phones even displayed a notification advising users to reboot their device from time to time to keep things running smoothly. Therefore, most of us restart the iPhone only if a problem appears in the form of a freeze or application crash. A restart can easily solve these problems without the need for professional intervention.

Anyway, the truth is that you should restart your iPhone from time to time even for no major reason. Personally, until recently, I used to leave my iPhone on for several long weeks or months, knowing that iOS can manage RAM really well. When I started experiencing some issues with the general performance of the device, I didn't restart it anyway - I have an iPhone that doesn't need to restart like Android. However, lately I've been restarting my iPhone every time I notice it's a bit slower than usual. After the restart, the apple phone becomes faster for a long time, which can be seen during general movement in the system, when loading applications, or in animations. After the restart, the cache and operating memory are cleared.

On the other hand, restarting your iPhone doesn't have a huge impact on battery life. Of course, the endurance is a little better for a while after the restart, but as soon as you launch the first few applications, you return to the old song. If you feel that an application is significantly draining the battery, just go to Settings -> Battery, where you can see the battery consumption below. To increase battery life, you can also disable automatic background updates and location services for apps that don't need these features at all. Automatic background update can be disabled in Settings -> General -> Background Updates, then you deactivate location services in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services.

So how often should you restart your iPhone? In general, give priority to your feeling. If your Apple phone seems to be running a little slower than usual, or if you're experiencing even the slightest performance issues, then perform a reboot. In general, I would then recommend that you at least restart the iPhone for it to work properly once a week. The restart can be done simply by turning it off and on again, or just go to Settings -> General, where scroll down and tap on Turn off. After that, just slide your finger over the slider.
