IPhone users, here's a simple tip to do every week

 

    I remember a time when everyone wanted advice on how to make their computer run faster or keep attackers away from their data. Today, devices have changed - they are smartphones. But the questions remain the same.

IPhones, in particular, fall into this category. Maybe it's because people keep their iPhones longer than Android devices, or maybe because they get more updates, so they suffer more from their machine slowing down. I'm not sure why, but there are ten times more iPhone users who want tips on how to make their device run faster than their Android counterparts (which is surprising considering the number of users Android and the wide range of hardware).

IPhone users are also worried about hackers getting their hands on their data. So here's a simple tip that will help iPhone users kill two birds with one stone: speed up their device while making it more secure. To do this, restart the system every week. Yes, once a week. Set yourself a reminder if necessary.

Yes, it is that easy. Not only does this clean up system RAM, but it also helps protect against remote exploits by making it harder for hackers to maintain control of your iPhone. Because hacking attempts hardly survive restarts.

So how do you restart your iPhone?

Step 1: If you have Face ID, press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears. If you have Touch ID, press and hold the top or side button until the power off slider appears.

Step 2: Drag the slider to the right to turn off.

Step 3: Wait until your device is completely off and then restart it by pressing the top button or the side button and holding it until you see the Apple logo.

Step 4: Enter your access code to activate the Face ID / Touch ID function.
