All iPhone users should check their mobile devices, some of them are making some silly mistakes that could result in losing their money or even their devices.

A report by the British newspaper "The Sun" revealed 3 of the most common fatal errors among iPhone users:

iOS is not updating

Apple regularly introduces new versions of its operating system, and today we have reached iOS 15, and it is expected that iOS 16 will be released soon.

After a while, Apple stops supporting older models of its phones with updates, which is very bad news as these updates include vital security patches that modify serious problems with your device, so you should always install the latest update as soon as possible, so if you can't get With these updates, your phone will be vulnerable to a serious hack.

You can check if your phone is still receiving the latest updates by going to “Settings”, then “General”, then “Software Update”, if not, it is recommended that you upgrade your iPhone to a newer model that still gets on security updates.

Force close apps

It is generally recommended to close your apps to improve performance, but this is a myth, you should only force quit an app if it stops working.

In fact, it is better not to close apps if you want your iPhone to work properly, and battery life will drain faster if you close all your apps permanently, and closing apps can take longer to load next time, because The iPhone is designed in a special way to avoid apps getting stuck.

According to Apple, "When you see recently used apps, it doesn't mean they've been opened, but they are on standby to help you navigate and multitask. You should force close the app just in case it isn't responding."

The chemical life of a battery is determined by a complex of several factors, including temperature history and charging pattern (communication sites)

Using the wrong charging settings

Your iPhone battery will retain less charge as it gets older, but you can help limit this deterioration.

"Battery life is related to its chemical life, which results from a complex of several factors, including temperature history and charging pattern. All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective with chemical age," Apple said.

"As lithium-ion batteries chemically age, the amount of charge they can hold decreases, resulting in reduced battery life and reduced peak performance," Apple said.

Hence the importance of the "Optimized Battery Charging" feature provided by Apple, in an attempt to extend the life of your iPhone.

And you can reduce the wear of your battery by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged, which ultimately means your battery will last longer.

So when Optimized Battery Charging is active your iPhone will delay charging after 80%, but only in specific situations, and your iPhone will learn about your daily charging routine to do so.
