RAM is an important part of your iPhone giving it room to breathe and run as smoothly as possible. If your iPhone is slow or underperforming, clear the RAM and speed up your iPhone.
There are many methods for speeding up your iPhone. One way is restarting it. Force-quitting apps can also be beneficial. Despite the introduction of newer models, the process remains the same as with previous iPhones. Before we get started, let’s take a quick look at RAM and why restarting it can help you out in certain situations.
Random access memory is often referred to as volatile working memory. It’s the amount of space on your iPhone that contains data that is currently being used. RAM allows your phone to efficiently handle active processes, such as running apps and games or listening to music. If your RAM becomes overloaded, it can cause your phone to slow down.
Clearing the RAM on your iPhone is easy, and will free up storage space for other tasks. When you clear the RAM, you’re removing any unnecessary files from your phone’s background. Nothing appears to have changed on your screen, but when you use your phone again, you’ll notice the difference.
Make your iPhone faster and smoother with less information to process. This is a safe and effective method of increasing your device’s performance.
You can use AssistiveTouch to reset the RAM on newer devices with Face ID, such as the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 lineup, iPhone 11 series, iPhone XS, XR, and X. Here’s what you should do:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap Accessibility.
- Tap Touch > AssistiveTouch.
- Turn on the toggle next to AssistiveTouch.
- Now go back to Settings and tap General swipe down select Shut Down.
- Tap once on the AssistiveTouch button. Finally, touch and hold the virtual Home button in AssistiveTouch. Leave it when the iPhone’s screen flashes and returns to the Lock screen.
RAM has been successfully cleared on your iPhone. Enter the password if prompted.
Clearing RAM on older iPhones is faster because it does not require AssistiveTouch. Consider the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, the iPhone SE, and the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 6, and 6 Plus. Here’s what you should do:
- Press and hold the Power button until the slider to power off appears on the screen.
- Release the power button then press and hold the Home button for 5 seconds.
- Wait until the screen flashes indicating that the RAM cleaning process has been completed.
- Done.
These are the steps to clear the RAM on your iPhone. Your iPhone will run smoothly and without lag after a little spring cleaning. Keep this trick in your back pocket for when your device seems to be acting strangely. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. We’ll do everything we can to assist you!
