Fast tips you can use now

Battery draining fast? Turn off Background App Refresh for apps you don’t use and check Settings > Battery to see which apps eat the most power. Strange Wi‑Fi behavior? Forget the network, reboot the router, and rejoin the network. App crashing after an update? Try deleting and reinstalling the app—backup any app data first if needed.

Need more space? Offload unused apps from Settings > General > iPhone Storage and move photos to cloud storage. Want better privacy? Open Settings > Privacy to control location, microphone and camera access per app. For safer browsing, enable Safari’s Prevent Cross-Site Tracking and block pop-ups.

Preparing for a major iOS update? Back up to iCloud or your computer, free at least 5–10GB of space, and read the update notes for known issues. If you rely on certain apps for work, wait a few days after release so early bugs are fixed.

Want faster navigation? Use Back Tap in Accessibility to assign double or triple taps to common actions, or create Shortcuts to automate repeated tasks like messaging a family member or turning on Do Not Disturb at night.

Facing a stubborn problem? Try force restart, reset network settings, and restore from a recent backup if needed. We explain these steps in plain language and tell you what each step does so you don’t need guesswork.
