However, there are easy ways to tune it up by simply <strong>adjusting a couple of settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disable background app refresh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/apple-patent-folding-screens\">iPhones<\/a> have <strong>background updating of apps<\/strong> enabled. This allows apps to continuously load new content, whether you open them or not. The background update is one of the functions that consumes more battery and resources of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/usb-c-of-iphone-15-surprises\">our iPhone<\/a>. To remove it, just follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> on your iPhone.<\/li><li>Tap on the <strong>General<\/strong> section and then on <strong><strong>Background App Refresh<\/strong><\/strong>.<\/li><li>After this, click on <strong><strong>Background App Refresh<\/strong> <\/strong>again and select <strong>No<\/strong>. This will stop all apps from loading when you are not using them. If you do not want to disable them all, <strong>you also have the option to select one by one the ones you want to remove<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also check how many applications you have open in the background. Although multitasking works differently in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/ios-16-3-1-update-iphone\">iOS<\/a>, it is advisable to close the ones you do not have in use to avoid consuming more resources than necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/actualizacion-segundo-plano-iphone-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271967\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t have your storage at the limit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing we all do is to make the most of the space we have on our iPhones. If I have 128GB, <strong>why shouldn&#8217;t I be able to use it all?<\/strong> However, this reasoning will make your device run slower than usual. The more apps and data you have to load, <strong>the slower it will go overall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From time to time, <strong>it is convenient that you do a thorough cleaning of your device<\/strong>. Get rid of those repeated photos and those applications you haven&#8217;t opened in months, you won&#8217;t need them. Digital diogenes syndrome is more common than you think, especially if we take into account that the cell phone has become our second (virtual) home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within iOS we have simple ways to tune up our iPhone.
