As an iOS app developer, I wholeheartedly recommend you to close your app every now and then. Not because it can help speeding up your phone or something, but rather it helps to reduce the problems and errors you might run into. Starting an app from scratch runs a different set of steps than returning from background as well as clearing out a lot of "saved stuff". And more often than not, the developers will pay more attention to starting from scratch than from background. That's why there is the famous line: "Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?"

There's a simple and practical reason to close applications when you no longer need them; it prevents the multitasking carousel from getting cluttered up and having to swipe through dozens of apps.

0:23 you still wanna close down apps like GPS, for example Waze, it will continue to use your location even in the background and will use up resources and battery. Everything else are very good points.

A phenomenal feature I just discovered is Guided Access. I have an 18 month old who loves Frozen. Problem is she can’t help touching the screen on long car trips which inevitably takes her off the movie and she cries. Guided access essentially disables the screen, sound buttons, and lock button so that she can’t ruin her own day

Thankyou for this video. I really needed this because before this I was making a few of the same mistakes you covered here.

As many others on here, I think closing apps is really useful. They often use data in the background and stay active in the background too, using a small bit of CPU power. So closing them once per day is pretty useful. But not after every use, sure, that’s overkill.

First off I appreciate the lack of the intro story about how your dog sits on the couch and watch tv etc.
You went right into the important stuff. I’m a new iPhone user and I’ve learned 7 outta 10 things in this video

You do not need to set your location on the weather app if you rarely leave town. Turn it off and change your widget to your hometown. This way the weather app won’t constantly be updating via your device’s location.

[chriswolf]

Thanks for the tips guilty of a few and nice to kno. The Apple Music tip was a time saver as well thanks again😎👊👊🤘

[everythingtaken]

You activated my HomePod mini while I was dozing off. She started telling me what the weather was going to be etc… I was so confused 🤣🤣🤣

Heating while charging is not an issue anymore as in ios16 charging will be on hold if the temperature of ur phone is more even if it is connected to power source.
