Try These 4 Easy Tips to Clear Cache, Boost Speed & Free Up Space
If your iPhone has started to feel slow or cluttered, it might be time for a cleanup. Junk files, unused apps, and too many photos can fill up your storage and slow down your phone. Here are 4 simple ways to improve your iPhone's performance:
1. Clear Safari’s Cache
Your web browser stores small bits of data (called cache) to load websites faster, but over time, it can slow things down.
Here’s how to clear it:
-
Go to Settings > Safari
-
Tap on Clear History and Website Data
-
Confirm your choice
This will help free up storage and make browsing smoother.
2. Organize Your Home Screen
iPhones don’t have an app drawer like Android, so it’s a good idea to keep your apps organized.
-
Keep your most-used apps on the first page
-
Use folders to group apps like “Social Media,” “Finance,” or “Utilities”
-
Try to keep only 2-3 pages of apps
This makes your phone easier to use and faster to navigate.
3. Delete Unused Apps
Many of us download apps we never use again.
-
Open the App Library
-
Look for apps you don’t use
-
Press and hold, then tap Delete App
This saves space and helps your iPhone run better.
4. Clean Up Photos & Videos
Photos and videos take up a lot of space, especially if you have duplicates or screenshots you don’t need.
-
Open the Photos app
-
Scroll down to Utilities > Duplicates
-
Review and delete copies
You can also manually remove random screenshots or unnecessary videos. It might take time, but it helps a lot.
By following these steps regularly, your iPhone can feel faster, cleaner, and easier to use—without needing to upgrade or spend extra money.
