Hyderabad: There are misconceptions about restarting the iPhone. While iPhone users wanted to know whether restart and factory reset options were the same. They unnecessarily worry about what will happen to the phone after restarting/rebooting. Now let's read what the tech experts say about misconceptions.

Speed-Cool-Power

Many people have a misconception that restarting the iPhone will affect its functioning. But, there is not an iota of reality in that. Restarting will make the iPhone performance even better than before. By then, the heat surrounding the iPhone's hardware will dissipate. This makes it cool. After cooling, users can notice the speed increase in iPhone performance automatically. Restarting will close some apps and other software running in the background without our knowledge. Apps running in the background secretly use battery power. The iPhone gets rid of such apps and saves more battery power by restarting. This paves the way for us to spend even more time with it without charging.

This is the solution...

A few technical problems are encountered while using the iPhone. The restart option works as the biggest solution for such things as well. Tech experts say there is no better way than a 'restart' to automatically reset the software creating the tech problem. After the restart, the processor in the iPhone will perform more actively. As a result, we feel very comfortable in browsing. With all these benefits, experts advise restarting the iPhone at least once every day is better.

Factory reset vs restart

Some confuse the 'restart' option with the 'factory reset' option. These two are completely different options. Restarting does not cause any harm to the iPhone user. There is no chance of losing sensitive information like documents, files, IDs, passwords, photos and videos. If you do a hasty 'factory reset', the data will be lost from the iPhone. Unsaved information will be lost. That is why files must be backed up before using the factory reset option. Otherwise, transfer them to any other device. All in all, we don't need to worry about restarting the iPhone.
