close apps
This is something that has been said a thousand times but many iPhone users continue to do on a daily basis. It is not necessary to close iPhone applications, in fact it is a counterproductive gesture. That’s to say, closing iPhone apps drains more battery and makes iPhone slower.
This is something that even Apple itself has confirmed. iOS takes care of automatically suspending the apps you use so they stay paused and when you come back to them, they open quickly and without spending extra battery.
Closing apps is somewhat counterproductive
Allow apps to track you
Whenever you start a new application, a message appears asking you to follow you and the Most users mindlessly click and accept that apps can track them and collect their data. It’s a feature that was introduced with iOS 14.5, and luckily you can prevent your settings from being tracked:
- Come into Settings > Privacy & Security.

iOS updates always improve the system and recently we may forget about them and install them automatically. Just enter Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates
You certainly make a lot of these mistakes.

- Come into settings and retouch your name.
- Now press iCloud.
- Come into Manage account space.
- Uncheck apps that you don’t want them accessing iCloud.

Make AirDrop accessible to everyone
AirDrop is the best way to transfer photos, videos and documents between Apple devices, but only when we want. We often forget that AirDrop is always on so anyone can send us anything. That’s why we recommend that only contacts can AirDrop things to you. Enter the Control Center > long press the top right square > tap AirDrop and select Contacts Only.
