Clean up Your iPad for Optimal Performance

For many iPad owners, running out of storage space can be a nuisance, especially when iPad performance is greatly influenced in app loading. Are you eager to clean up your iPad for faster responsive speed and better battery performance? You need the following five methods to clean up iPad storage.

1. Focused on the size of apps you fancy

Many interesting apps are launched to App Store every day, and it’s not easy to resist the temptation of installing and experiencing them. What most users are prone to neglect is how much space the app will occupy besides its own size. The first thing to clean up iPad storage is to figure out how space is eaten up. You can check out by going to Settings > General > Usage.

If you don’t want to bother checking and uninstalling specific apps, you can just set your iPad to factory reset and restore the backup of apps and files you need later. This will help you to clean up cache and junk files. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Please pay attention that this act will make your iPad a totally new device, so you will be required to input account information when you use some apps.

2. Give high priority to default apps

It’s common that more than one app of the same function with minor differences, e.g. VSCO and AFTERLIGHT are both downloaded in your iPad; instead of using the default email service in the iPad, you download SEED or SPARROW. If you don’t have preferences for browser apps, you can just stick to use preloaded default apps in your iPad instead of downloading new apps. An app can occupy nearly one hundred MB alone, and offline data and cache will add up to the separate user folders as long as you use them. What about uninstalling similar apps and giving high priority to preloaded default apps? You will be surprised how much space can be cleaned up after this.

3. Stop automatic updates and downloads

This automatic downloads function does bring convenience to users, while it can take up space and RAM resource in your iPad. If iPad cleaning is on your priority list above convenience of automatic updates and downloads, you can stop this service by going to Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap off Apps and Updates in AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS. You can manually check updates and upgrade apps later if you want certain apps to be the latest version.

4. Reduce motion effects and transparency

For iOS later than iOS7, screen movement is applied to your iPad. Motion effects and transparency is not essential to daily use, and if you are willing to reduce these funny special effects and convenience to clean up a bit RAM space for your iPad, you can turn on Reduce Motion and Reduce transparency in Settings> General> Accessibility.
