iPhone Becomes Slow? How to Fix?


Some iPhone 6 users have asked the question that their iPhones become slow when they upgrade to the newest iOS system. So I have posted these solutions to fix it. Maybe one of them can help you as well.

Solution 1
Step 1: Turn “Reduce Motion” on. Navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion and then slide to “On”. This step will reduce the dynamic effect on apps so that it will make your iPhone speed up.
Step 2: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. And turn it on. Move the AssistiveTouch to the right bottom of the interface.
Step 3: Go the search interface and tap the spotlight search bar and then the AssistiveTouch will go to the top of the input keyboard. Next cancel the spotlight search bar, the AssistiveTouch will go back to the right bottom of the interface.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 about dozens of times until your iPhone become faster than before.
This way may be a little weird, but most people said it really works. So why not give it a shot. If you think the first way difficult, you can try the second way.

Solution 2
The second way is to clear data on your iPhone. Normally, iPhone becomes slow because of taking too much memory.
Clear History and Website Data
Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data
Move Previous Data to PC
Normally, our iPhone will save many kinds of data that we don’t use anymore. But we still don’t want to delete them. In this situation, you can move those data to PC as a backup. In order to do that, you can use iTunes to back up your iPhone. But note that the when you use iTunes to restore your backup, it will delete the existed contents on iPhone.
But the FonePaw iOS Transfer can help you transfer most of data like music, videos, ringtones, playlists, photos, contacts, books and more between iPhone and PC. Take photos for example; you can use it to transfer photos from iPhone to PC. Of course, it can still restore them from PC to iPhone next time if you want to use the photos.

Hope these ways can help you fix the problem. Enjoy your mobile life.
