If you’ve been having issues with your iPhone screen not being as responsive as it used to be, here are a few quick and easy ways that might solve your issue.
Clean your screen!
Our iPhones and iPads are always on the go with us and because of this they gather a lot of dirt and gunk on the screen which can affect the screen and devices performance.
Screen wipes or a soft, micro-fibre cloth are the best ways to clean your screen.
Updating Apps also deleting and reinstalling them
You may notice a particular app is freezing the iPhone screen or isn’t performing like it should.
Firstly, check for an update on the App Store as the developer may have fixed a known bug/issue in the app.
Secondly, you can delete the app and re-install it from the App Store.
Do a hard reboot
Doing a hard reboot is normally the best way to solve any screen unresponsiveness but also any other performance issues that your phone might be having.
If your device is an iPhone 6s or older, hold down the home button and the lock/power button at the same time until you see the Apple logo then let it reboot.
If your device is an iPhone 7 hold the volume down button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until it reboots.
Clear up storage space
If your device is low on storage space then it will start to slow down and this can affect screen responsiveness.
You can check your storage space in, Settings > General > Storage and iCloud Usage > Manage Storage.
Try and keep at least 1GB of available space on your device.
Still having issues? Do a full restore
If none of the above methods have worked then you might need to do a full restore.
Firstly, make sure your device is backed up either on iTunes or iCloud.
Then erase the data and settings and restore from the backup.
The computer is working amazingly!!! Thank you so much, you guys are wonderful :-)
