A few days ago, the company observed how the owner of an iPhone 15 Pro Max closed background applications for an endlessly long time, although he initially took his smartphone out of his pocket only to read a new message in the messenger.
To my question “why are you doing this?” The person replied that this increases the battery life of the device.
In fact, this misconception seems impossible to eradicate. Many iPhone owners still firmly believe that if not a single application is killed in the background, the iPhone will work much longer.
We dealt with this issue back in 2016, but it seems that some things are better repeated over and over again. So read it for yourself, and tell all the iPhone owners you know:
Do not close background applications, do not turn on iOS
The iOS operating system is quite well thought out, and in particular the launch and operation of applications is neat. To be more precise, every app on your iPhone has three states:
▪️ Launch
▪️ Active
▪️ Background
The startup state is considered in two forms, one of which involves loading application components for its operation, while the second takes the application out of hibernation, or background mode.
The active state of an application is when it opens on the screen and is running, performing the tasks you want.
The background state is activated automatically when you rotate the app and exit to the desktop of your smartphone. The tape recorder system remembers the interface breakpoint so that if the application switches back to the active state, the user sees exactly the screen where he left off.
This is how many processes occur each time an application is launched in iOS outside the background.
At the same time, in the background, almost all application processes are suspended and do not use smartphone resources, so do not waste battery power.
The trick is that your iPhone’s processor spends much less energy on bringing an application from the background to the active state than on launching it from scratch.
After all, when you close the application cache completely, the cache of the application is reset, and when you start the system again, you need to load all the data, select the required number of launches, which will load the processor. Accordingly, it consumes more energy from the battery.
So it turns out that keeping applications in the background is much more profitable than unloading them from memory and launching them again. And there is no point in installing some applications, because, for example, Telegram continues to send notifications about messages, even if you close it this way.
For the same then there is this menu that shows running applications
I am often asked this question, citing the fact that since it is possible to unload these background applications from memory, it means that you need to use them.
Yes, it is necessary. But only if the application is frozen and does not respond to user commands..
In this case, iOS provides the ability to completely close a non-working program and, if desired, start it again. And if everything works perfectly, then there is no need to perform unnecessary actions and unload it from the iPhone’s memory.
If you are no longer in talk mode and your smartphone is not in talk mode, switch it off and turn it off completely. This will definitely save the charging battery, info weaving.
