Importance of clearing RAM on iPhone

Random Access Memory (RAM) acts as your phone’s short-term memory, ensuring ongoing processes and apps run smoothly. Over time, apps and background processes can overload the RAM, which impacts performance. Here is why clearing it is essential:

Boosts performance: Overloaded RAM can slow your iPhone significantly. Clearing it frees memory and allows apps and system functions to run faster.

Fixes app crashes: Memory-heavy apps may crash frequently when the RAM is full. Clearing the RAM helps prevent these interruptions.

Improves multitasking: If you frequently use multiple apps, clearing the RAM minimises lags and ensures seamless transitions between tasks.

Increases device lifespan: Efficient use of RAM reduces strain on your phone, prolonging its longevity.

If your current iPhone does not deliver a smooth experience, upgrading to a newer model might be a practical solution. Bajaj Finserv offers an extensive range of mobiles with Easy EMI plans to make your purchase convenient.

How to clear RAM on iPhone – Step-by-step guide

Clearing your iPhone's RAM is quick and effective. Follow these steps:

Use AssistiveTouch: To clear the RAM on your iPhone, start by opening Settings and navigating to Accessibility, then select Touch. Enable AssistiveTouch to proceed. Next, press and hold the Power button until the shutdown screen appears. Using AssistiveTouch, tap on its icon and then press and hold the Home button. The screen will flicker, indicating that the RAM has been successfully cleared. This simple process refreshes your device for smoother performance.

Restart your iPhone: Restarting your iPhone clears background apps and refreshes the RAM. Simply hold the power button and follow the on-screen prompts to restart your device.

Close background apps: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or double-click the Home button on older models) to open the App Switcher. Swipe up on apps to close them.

If your iPhone still lags despite clearing RAM, upgrading to the latest model could be beneficial. Explore latest offers on Bajaj Finserv and enjoy flexible financing options.

Sluggish performance: Apps take longer to load or respond.

App crashes: Memory-intensive apps frequently close unexpectedly.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I clear RAM on my iPhone?
Clearing your iPhone's RAM does not need to be done frequently. iOS is designed to manage RAM efficiently on its own. However, if you notice your phone slowing down, apps crashing, or lagging performance, clearing the RAM can help. Doing this occasionally—perhaps once a week or when you experience issues—should be sufficient. If your iPhone is still lagging, it is time to upgrade. You can shop for the latest iPhones on Easy EMIs using the Bajaj Finserv Insta EMI Card. Simply check your eligibility for the card in just a few clicks and enjoy the freedom to split the cost into affordable EMIs.

Does clearing RAM delete any data or apps?
No, clearing RAM does not delete any of your data, apps, or personal files. It simply frees up memory by closing background processes and refreshing the system. Your apps and data remain intact, and you can continue using your phone as usual.
