Gizmodo: Closing background apps on iPhone doesn’t speed up your phone
Journalists from Gizmodo have refuted a popular myth about the iPhone related to closing applications. This was reported on the media website.
According to the authors, many Apple device users are accustomed to opening a list of recently launched programs and manually closing them – they believe that in this way they speed up the iPhone. The material says that this method does not affect the performance of the gadget in any way.
The journalists cited the words of Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi, who said back in 2016 that closing background applications would not help the smartphone work faster. According to him, on a technical level, the applications displayed in the recently launched list are effectively frozen and do not use the iPhone’s memory.
The authors of Gizmodo explained that the myth may be based on the experiences of PC users. On computers, it is believed that the more applications are open in the background, the more RAM the device consumes. “Millions of people waste their days and battery life by closing background applications,” the journalists complained.
At the end of February, Apple warned against immersing your smartphone in rice. Corporation specialists pointed out that a wet phone cannot be saved in this way, and named alternative methods.
