Do you feel your iPhone hanging very often or it is running very slowly when you have to do an important task? If yes, then it is time you speed up your iphone 4 or iPhone 4S

The following are 5 tips to speed up your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S which runs on iOS7.

 

  1. iOS 7 upgrade- iOS 7 brings some changes which will help improve your iPhone’s performance on the whole for users of iPhone4 and 4s. If not yet updated to this OS already then you must do that first. If you do not have an idea on how to do it, then here is a detailed process on how to do it.

 

  1. The background app refresh must be disabled- iOS 7 brings a lot of features with it, one of them is the feature background app refresh. This feature enables the developers to do many cool and interesting things such as updating the app contents in the background using just minimum battery, however this implies that your iPhone  must  run these processes in the background. The best thing you can do is  turning off the background app refresh totally to make your phone run faster. You can also choose to disable only certain apps too.

 

  1. Lower transparency- iphone 4 does not support parallax but the iPhone 4s supports it in iOS7. Fortunately the transparency and the motion effect can be disabled.  Both these options help in mitigating the graphic resources and help in speeding stuff during the navigation via iOS and using control and notification centre. Turn off the transparency, which became available first time in iOS 7. Therefore, you need to run it or higher for disabling it.
  2. Resetting all the settings- One big complaint with iOS7 on iPhone 4 is the lag in the keyboard. Sometimes, resetting the general settings and keyboard dictionaries will help in eliminating some issues. But if you still have them and enabled an emoji  keyboard , try disabling that also and check whether the lag disappears. For resetting all the settings and the dictionary also on iphone 4 and 4s, you just have to go to general settings and tap the button reset.
  3. Restoring and clearing all the unused stuff on the iphone 4 and iPhone 4s- Even after following the above mentioned tips, your phone speed does not increase then restore and clean your phones. First of all delete all the apps, you do not use any longer which do not run on the new  iOS version.  Sometimes iOS 7 causes some people to use up the entire  physical storage, if this happens with you then  find the remaining amount of storage by going to the general setting and then “about”. In case you feel your phone has more storage than what your iphone is indicating then do the iTunes restore to empty a little space.  This has to be the last resort but it is worth to try before you resort to buying a new one.
