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.
Check your battery usage:
Disable background app update:
Deactivate 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.
God, what kind of article is this? The cache is mainly used for speeding up, i.e. if you restart the mobile and clear the cache, the iphone will be slower when starting applications than it was before, so I would definitely not recommend restarting the iphone until there is a problem.
What you write is true, but after a few months of use, the cache is filled with data that is no longer needed for the application to run. If you delete it, the application will save the necessary data after opening it for the first time, but not, for example, unnecessary previews of old photos.
I restart my phone every time a new iOS version comes out.
Just today I had to restart my phone, AirPlay went completely crazy. It was not possible to change the destination, the headphones played even after removing them from the ear... After a restart, everything was fine again.
I have the same thing. As soon as my AirPods do not connect, even manually, or pairing with the headphones takes a long time, I restart the iPhone and the problem is gone immediately.
And if it doesn't restart, turn off the phone. Greetings, your bitten pear
I agree with Ondra - the author speaks of disabilities from other systems, and publicly recommending iPhone users is absolute nonsense and a goal in one's own goal. Although not actually, the author does not have his own goal and therefore kicks anywhere. I don't recall restarting my iPhone in years, nor do I feel the need to, except for iOS updates. To solve any problems, there are solutions directly to those problems and there is no need to restart the device.
Whether anyone thinks that the truth is somewhere in the middle, it is definitely a mischief to impose on iPhone users the idea that the iPhone needs to be restarted once in a while. This is simply not needed at all.
I have been using iOS and other Apple operating systems for several years. I dare to disagree with you, anyway, if you don't have to restart your iPhone, then you're probably lucky. I use countless different applications and from time to time a situation arises where I have no choice but to restart. If you use a few applications, it is clear that you will not need a regular restart. I didn't learn to restart my devices, including my Mac, every week. I don't quite understand the own goal, of course I like Apple, but I try to be objective and don't make this company a god.
Well, I have to restart only for one reason recently. Let's say maybe half a year I have a problem with WhatsUp. I open it and it kicks me out of it in no time. The app crashes and it throws me to the desktop. When this happens, restarting the phone is the only way to get into WhatsApp. I have an iPhone Xs. And otherwise, I am a 3Gs iPhone user and the need to restart the file increases rather than decreases. Sometimes the camera still won't open, so restarting doesn't solve that. And sometimes the keyboard jams.. but that hasn't happened for a long time, so maybe an update solved it.
So, if you have an iPhone 6, then restarts do not need to be restarted, and anything from version X does not have to be restarted, or you don't know any slowdown or speed.
My mother-in-law bought an iPad mini 2 many years ago and it only restarts automatically during system updates. Apart from one storage overflow due to a bug in the postman, it was never needed manually.
On the other hand, I have to restart Androids at least once a month and sometimes 5 times a day due to BT freezing.
As much as Apple's approach to many things and its business policy bothers me, no one will ever come up with a better advertisement than Google and its "products".
It will probably depend on what android you are using... for example, I only restart automatically after an OS update, just like with ios. Otherwise, I haven't had to restart an android device (tablet and phone) for a few years (current and predecessor)...
I have a xiaomi pocophone f1, which I have been using for about two and a half years, and I actually do a reset about once a month. Somehow, I can't imagine that iOS, which boasts of being flexible, needs a reset more often than this grandfather of mine :D
