Until now it was believed that the only way to cure a cranky Apple device was to restart, but now we have a much more efficient and quicker way. 

The discovery of this new trick is all thanks to iPhone enthusiast Marc Forrest.

Here’s his three easy steps on how to do it:

1. Start by unlocking your iOS device. That means the display will be lit, and you'll be on your home screen, not the lock screen.

2. Hold down the power button until the “slide to power off” option appears.

3. Next, release the power button, and then hold down the home button for around five seconds.

And, poof, just like that the iPhone’s memory, or RAM, is refreshed.

After doing this you should notice some telltale signs that show your Apple gear has indeed improved.

First, as the home screen reloads, watch the menu bar refresh. This usually only happens after re-starting your phone. 

Secondly, double-tap your home button to pull up all of your formerly-opened apps. They will still appear to be running in their last-viewed state, but when you tap on any of them, you’ll notice they reload. They have been suspended, and are now coming back to life.
