How to clear iPhone RAM and run faster (2021)

Rate this post

RAM is one of iPhone’s most important hardware to keep your device running smoothly. If you feel your iPhone is slow or lacking in performance, clear the RAM to speed up your iPhone.

There are several other methods you can use to speed up your iPhone, such as restarting or killing the app. However, even with the introduction of the new iPhone 13 lineup, the process is the same as its predecessor. But before you get started, let’s understand a little more about RAM and briefly understand why resetting RAM is beneficial.

What is iPhone RAM?

RAM stands for “random access memory” and is also called “volatile working memory”. Simply put, it’s where all the active processes run on your iPhone.

iOS has excellent RAM management. However, if you run too many activities at once, such as running multiple graphics-intensive games, editing apps, or streaming over LTE, your iPhone can have a hard time catching up. Especially for older devices.

When this happens, you will notice that iPhone performance slows down. The keyboard may take a long time to open, swipe gestures and button presses may be delayed, and the phone may become too hot to handle. Freeing RAM can be a useful solution in these situations.

What happens if I clear the RAM on my iPhone?

Clearing RAM frees up the processing power of your iPhone. This is done by discarding unnecessary information in the background. Nothing changes on the surface, but it makes a difference when working with the device.

The less information you process, the faster your iPhone will run and it will run smoothly. This is a completely safe and effective way to improve device performance.

Now that you have a basic idea, let’s learn how to reset RAM on your iPhone model.
