Some of us will ask "why my iPhone is so slow after the system updates?"  If you’re on an iPhone 6/6S/SE, the iOS 9 or later updates may work smooth. But it’s not same for older devices. Earlier models are reporting dull performance since updating.  How can you fix it? In this article, we’ll share some basic tips and tricks to help you easily solve the lag problem and speed up iPhone, iPad, and iPod in iOS 9/9.1/9.2/9.3.


Following tips may help you speed up iPhone and make your slow iPad run faster. 


1. Close/Optimize Apps and Games

Take at look the apps/games that you have installed. Close games which are less important, it will save a lot of resources and increase iOS speed considerably. Whereas the apps, optimize them by turning off their location services completely and only enable location sharing when you are going to use it. Make sure you don’t run a lot of applications and games at the same time; this will make your device slow.


2. Delete Unnecessary Apps and Games

We’ve all been there- download random games and apps just to check it out. You should keep in mind that these apps and games take up storage and CPU resource which eventually will make your device slow. Hence, deleting unwanted apps and games is always a good move to fix the lag issues on iPhone/iPad.

You can either use built-in tools to delete apps and games or use content managing tools like IOTransfer to delete apps from your device.


3. Disable Siri Suggestions

It is one of the awesome features of iOS9, but sadly this can slow down your iPhone. Siri is more like a data collection machine which requires background whenever she’s on. And basically, we don’t let Siri sleep at all if the Siri suggestions are enabled. You can disable Siri Suggestions by accessing Settings-> General->Spotlight Search-> slide Siri Suggestions off.

 

4. Turn off Background Apps Refresh and Auto-Update

Continuous and uncontrolled background apps activities will slow down your phone faster than you can imagine. Anyway, you can turn off background apps refresh and its auto updating quite easily to ensure a smooth performance.


How to turn off background apps refresh:


Settings > General > Turn off Background App Refresh.


How to stop apps update automatically:


Settings > General > iTunes > App Store > Turn off Updates.
