Common mistakes of new iPhone users

 Discover common mistakes new users make that make iPhones slow and less secure, from memory management to data security



Memory overload


Large files can slow down iPhone performance , so users are advised to back up photos to iCloud and check their storage capacity regularly in Settings > General > iPhone Storage. By freeing up space, users can avoid slowdowns, increase the life of their device, and make room for new apps and upgrades that require adequate storage.

Skip Screen Time


Screen Time provides detailed information about device usage and allows users to set limits, promoting healthy usage habits. This feature is convenient for parents who want to monitor their children's online activities. Users can use this feature in Settings.


Don't turn on Find My iPhone


Many newcomers overlook Find My iPhone, an essential feature for locating a lost iPhone. Turn it on in Settings > Apple ID > Find My and activate Find My iPhone to track the location of your iPhone. When your iPhone is lost, you can remotely lock, erase, or play a sound, providing security and peace of mind while protecting your device from unwanted use.

Use extreme temperatures


iPhone is sensitive to extreme temperatures, which can damage battery life and cause it to shut down. Keep your device between 0° and 35°C and away from direct sunlight and cold conditions. This will protect performance and extend battery life. Leaving your phone in a hot car or exposing it to extremely cold temperatures can cause long-term problems, so be careful when storing your phone.

Poor battery health management


Many people try to extend battery life by force-closing apps, which is unnecessary since reopening apps in iOS often requires more power. Also, avoid using non-MFi chargers as they are not quality-controlled by Apple and can damage the battery, leading to reduced battery life or overheating.

Skip Location & Privacy settings


Location services can drain battery life and compromise privacy. Check Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services regularly to see which apps have location access and limit permissions to only those that need it. Use “Ask Next Time” for even more control, while also saving battery life and protecting privacy by only allowing essential apps to access your location data.


Not updating iOS regularly


Skipping iOS updates can leave your iPhone vulnerable to security issues. Even though major updates may seem optional, regular patches are still important for security. Users can turn on Automatic Updates in Settings > General > Software Update to stay safe.

Leave Safari tabs open


Multiple active Safari tabs can slow down your iPhone by using RAM. To clear them, press and hold the tab icon in Safari and select “Close All Tabs.” Regularly clearing tabs will improve browsing speed and free up resources, resulting in smoother overall performance. This is handy if you frequently use Safari for work, study, or multitasking.


Skip Manage App Subscriptions


Forgetting to subscribe to an app can lead to unexpected charges, as many apps auto-renew by default. To manage them, go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. You can cancel or review your subscriptions. This ensures you only pay for active, necessary services and avoids surprises from forgotten trials or subscriptions you no longer use.

Not backing up regularly


Regular backups help prevent data loss if your iPhone is lost or damaged. Turn on iCloud backup in Settings > iCloud > Backup or back up manually using iTunes. This routine protects your important data, photos, and files, making them easy to restore on a new device.


Using unprotected Wi-Fi networks


Connecting to an unsecured Wi-Fi network can expose your important data to cyber threats. When possible, use a trusted network or enable a VPN on public Wi-Fi. This protects your iPhone data and reduces the possibility of unauthorized access.

Don't use Passcode or Face ID


Ignoring security options puts your iPhone at risk of being lost or stolen. To protect your personal data, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and turn on a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID. This extra layer of security prevents unwanted access and keeps your data private even if your phone falls into the wrong hands.


Always keep Bluetooth and AirDrop on


Keeping Bluetooth and AirDrop enabled all the time drains your battery and creates security risks. Turn them off in Control Center when not in use to save power and improve security. It's best to use these features when needed, saving resources and reducing the possibility of unauthorized access from unknown nearby devices.
