The iOS is such standalone that it doesn’t need any third-party app for RAM management. An iPhone always stays shiny clean (inside) every time its user picks it up.
However, no judgement if you use a third-party app for the job. They’re always available in the AppStore, which actually work.
But I, as a minimalist, always try to eke the available resources for all my iOS jobs. This way, I stumbled upon three easy, app-less ways to clean up my iPhone RAM instantly.
#3. Restart your iPhone the non-ordinary way
Press and release Volume up button,
press and release Volume down button.
Now, press and hold Side button .
Keep holding it even after you see slide to power off prompt. Your iPhone will now turn off. Let it automatically restart.
This frees you ample RAM. However, it’s a slow process.
#2. Use AssistiveTouch
If you use an iPhone with Touch ID, skip the first step below.
Enable AssistiveTouch by going to Settings ⚙️ < Accessibility 🚹 < Touch 👆 < AssistiveTouch .
Press and release Volume up button,
press and release Volume down button.
Now, press and hold Side button until you see slide to power off .
DON’T SLIDE TO POWER OFF.
Now, tap on the AssistiveTouch button (Or Home button if your iPhone uses Touch ID).
Tap and hold Home until you come back to your Home Screen.
That’s it.
A bit faster process to clear RAM — right?
#1. The Camera app is for the rescue
This tip surprised me. All thanks to this iReviews YouTube video.
Open the Camera app, wait for a moment.
Now close it, completely.
Your RAM is cleared! Surprising, right? How could simply opening and closing the Camera app clear RAM?
No one knows.
