IPhone started to slow down after upgrading to iOS 12

Apple focused on the stability and high speed in iOS 12, even on older devices. The reality is different. Smartphones started to slow down and hang, but we know how to fix it. Before running into the service to diagnose the device or to buy a new smartphone, you should try other solutions.

Disable animation and transparency effects

This method of increasing productivity for many years, but it still works. To turn off unnecessary animations and effects in the system, follow these steps:

1. Open device settings.
2. Go to the “Basic” tab.
3. Then – “Universal Access”.
4. There, find the item “Reducing motion” and “Increasing the contrast.
5. Both need to be activated.

It will help to reduce the load time.

Free up space on disk

Another reason why the iPhone starts to slow down is the lack of free space. Users often forget to control the number of data downloaded into the device and then complain about hangs and crashes. To see how much free space is left on the disk, you need:

1. Open device settings.
2. Go to the “Basic” tab.
3. Then – “iPhone Storage”.

If your smartphone is full of apps and photos, then you should remove the junk. It is possible that the programs and the system as a whole worked incorrectly because of the lack of space for new data.

Check the battery status

At the beginning of the year, it became known that the performance of Apple devices reduces due to the deterioration of the battery. You can check the battery status as follows:

1. Open device settings.
2. Go to the “Battery” tab.
3. Then – “Battery status (beta)”.

Here you can see the percentage of battery wear, and find out if iOS slows down the speed of operation, in order to avoid unexpected outages of the smartphone. If necessary, performance degradation can be turned off.

Reset all data and settings

The simplest and most effective solution to almost all problems associated with the iPhone is data reset. A smartphone configured from scratch always works faster and smoother. Therefore, if you really want to get rid of all the failures, then the easiest way is to get rid of erasing all information from the gadget. For this you need:

1. Open device settings.
2. Go to the “Basic” tab.
3. Then – “Reset”.
4. Select the “Reset content and settings” option.

After that, iPhone will return to the same state in which it was immediately after the purchase.
