iOS is a great manager of RAM in every sense. We still remember how the first iPad mini with its 512MB ran much smoother than most Android at the time, and all of them with its 2GB. However, a poorly designed application or a few lines of faulty code can cause this resource to be wasted and our device to work slowly. We teach you what to do in a situation like this.
The first thing to explain is that it will not be necessary to perform this trick frequently either. A few days ago we commented that close multitasking apps It is not equivalent to saving battery, but quite the opposite and we explain that the philosophy under which iOS is programmed is to make users forget the computers and that they dedicate themselves only to enjoying their iDevices. A maintenance task similar to the one we are going to describe does not fall within the usual apple codes either.
Closing the multitasking apps on your iPad does not gain battery, you lose it
Trick to free up RAM instantly
We read in iPhone Hacks (Via iPadize) the following: to free a good portion of RAM in case we notice that the iPad is slow in some circumstance, we must press and hold the key to turn on the tablet and when the screen that offers us to turn off the system comes out, we stop pressing and press long about him home button until it returns us to the home screen.
In this way we will be closing not only the possible application that has become "stuck", eating up the RAM memory, but all those that were running in background. So, in case we were listening to background music (for example) we will notice how it stops.
Two birds with one stone: we will also calibrate the home button
As this website dedicated to revealing tricks about the different Apple devices comments, the procedure also serves to calibrate home button iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch on which we are working. If we notice that said physical component is slow, is not very responsive or that it does not even respond to our orders, we can do exactly the same thing that we have explained in the previous section to return the lost functionality.
Physical buttons may deteriorate over time, however, a virtual button it will be eternal unless the screen breaks in some way. You have a problem in this regard, you can also try the following:
