Quickest way to Free up iPhone Memory

 
Have you ever wonder how to make your iPhone quickly come to live again when it starts to respond slow to actions? I have a trick for that.

  • To free up some memory, unlock your phone and then hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" screen appears. 
  • Next, instead of sliding to power off or tapping the cancel button, press and hold the Home button for a few seconds until you are returned to the home screen.
That's it, memory flushed.

I think this maneuver really does is to suspend all background app activity. After you are returned to the home screen, if you double tap the Home button, you will see that all of of your recently used apps are still listed in the app switcher carousel. When you tap to open one, however, you won't pick up where you left off as the app switcher normally does. Instead, the app reloads and starts you off fresh.

Try and install a system monitor app on my iPhone and iPad to see what your memory usage looks like before and after performing this memory-flush move. With this move, you can revive a sluggish iOS device without resetting or restarting it.

What do you think? Does this work for you?
