    There's a simple and practical reason to close applications when you no longer need them; it prevents the multitasking carousel from getting cluttered up and having to swipe through dozens of apps.
  • @cutecutekid
    As an iOS app developer, I wholeheartedly recommend you to close your app every now and then. Not because it can help speeding up your phone or something, but rather it helps to reduce the problems and errors you might run into. Starting an app from scratch runs a different set of steps than returning from background as well as clearing out a lot of "saved stuff". And more often than not, the developers will pay more attention to starting from scratch than from background. That's why there is the famous line: "Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?"

    0:23 you still wanna close down apps like GPS, for example Waze, it will continue to use your location even in the background and will use up resources and battery. Everything else are very good points.

    Mike thank you so much I am an 82 year old novice every time I watch one of your videos I getting more and more knowledge on how to use my iPhone and with this new mama knowledge it makes the phone that much more valuable thank you so much please keep up the good work
  • A phenomenal feature I just discovered is Guided Access. I have an 18 month old who loves Frozen. Problem is she can’t help touching the screen on long car trips which inevitably takes her off the movie and she cries. Guided access essentially disables the screen, sound buttons, and lock button so that she can’t ruin her own day
  • First tips is very useful, wow! I just found out about it today because I’ve been using android for a long time but now I upgraded to 13. Thanks from Malaysia 🇲🇾
  • @truthkl
    First off I appreciate the lack of the intro story about how your dog sits on the couch and watch tv etc. You went right into the important stuff. I’m a new iPhone user and I’ve learned 7 outta 10 things in this video
  • As many others on here, I think closing apps is really useful. They often use data in the background and stay active in the background too, using a small bit of CPU power. So closing them once per day is pretty useful. But not after every use, sure, that’s overkill.
  • Thankyou for this video. I really needed this because before this I was making a few of the same mistakes you covered here.
  • @SR-nf8cq
    Your videos are super helpful Grt work bud Cmg from android to Ios.. ur videos helped me a lot
  • I’m new to iPhone and just got the 14 Pro Max. Thank you so much for these tips!
  • You also don't need to go to the app carousel in order to switch to the last app you were on. A quick swipe left or right at the bottom of the screen quickly switches your apps.
  • Thank you so much for this buddy! iPhone is expensive and I bought this 1 month now, i want to take care of this and use it properly so that my iPhone 14pro max will perform well and use it for more years to come. I learned something for my phone, thanks alot. God blessyou and to your Channel. See yeah for the next interesting videos. 😊😊
  • I’m trying these recommendations on my new 14 pro max, appreciate it😊
  • Brilliant, Authentic. All valuable, necessary and important information given in an easy way. No click bait. You have gained a subscriber, Thx for an excellent video.
  • @KyleReich
    Very nice concise and straight-to-the-point video. Thank you, and keep up the great work.

    You do not need to set your location on the weather app if you rarely leave town. Turn it off and change your widget to your hometown. This way the weather app won’t constantly be updating via your device’s location.
  • Wonderful tips! I'm brand new to the Apple world and these tips are very helpful. TFS
