iOS 10 it is a very fast operating system, even on the old iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch terminals, the Apple company managing to offer us much better performance than many would have expected. Despite this, there are still some people who are not fully satisfied with the performance that iOS 10 offers for them.
In this idea, I present you 5 tricks to make iOS 10 faster on your terminals, without giving up even as many functions as you would expect. It all depends on what you use and what you don't use, iOS 10 being able to work very quickly if you manage it correctly, Apple avoiding offering too many tools for this.
Disable useless widgets
You all know that iOS 10 gives us the possibility to see in a special menu a series of widgets with information from the applications we have in our terminals. These widgets can be accessed by swiping from left to right in the LockScreen, the main application screen, or the Notifications Center, the information being displayed immediately.
If you have a lot of widgets included in this menu, they will be displayed more difficult, possibly with a lag when opening the interface in which they are visible. If you don't use all of them that are available there, then use the edit menu to delete what you don't use and leave only the ones that are used often, the performance when opening the menu increases accordingly.
You can disable widgets using the button Edit, Editing from the menu where you have them displayed.
Disable animations – Reduce Motion
A very old trick that can also make iOS 10 faster is disabling iOS animations by activating the option Reduce Motion, Reduce Motion. After activating this option, many of the animations run in iOS 10 will no longer be visible, but the entire operating system will be faster on your terminals, as of course you want it.
The problem is that if you activate the function Reduce Motion, Reduce Motion, then you will no longer see the existing animations in the Messages application, so use this option carefully. Apple offers it for those who are sick of iOS devices, yes the problem is real, or for those who consider them useless and want better performance.
You can activate the function Reduce Motion, Reduce Motion, from Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion, Configurations > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.
Limit Spotlight searches
A trick that I have been using for a long time and that can help you make iOS 10 faster has to do with Spotlight, the search system among the data available in iOS. If you do not use Spotlight, then you can limit searches among applications in order to reduce the constant background updating of information for this system.
Normally Spotlight is useful for discovering data in various iOS applications, but if you don't use it even in iOS 10, then you can disable it in all settings, or just some. Settings for Spotlight are available in Settings > General > Spotlight Search, Configurations > General > Spotlight Search.
Disable background updates
Another source of resource consumption in iOS 10 is the background updates for the applications installed in our terminals. Apple implemented the function a few years ago, but it constantly consumes resources to update all the applications that have support for this system, and here we are also talking about a reduction in battery autonomy.
By disabling background updates, applications installed in iOS 10 will display updated information only when you open them, but performance will be greatly improved. You can disable background updates from the menus Settings > General > Background App Refresh, Configurations > General > Refresh in the background.
If you need this system for some applications, then disable the unnecessary ones.
Keep applications open in the background
I've said it many times lately and I'll say it again with iOS 10, keep apps open in the background. iPhones/iPads have enough RAM now to keep many applications open in the background, generally with preloaded information, so it is no longer necessary to close them all to have good performance, on the contrary.
By keeping applications open in the background, they will open much faster than if you open them for the first time and will consume much less energy in the process. Applications loaded from RAM open much faster than if you open them for the first time and will have the old information already displayed, updating only the new ones.
If nothing I told you above helps, then restore your terminals and apply these recommendations again.
