Typically, a device’s performance degrades as it becomes older. Sluggishness or frequent delays, unpredictable restarts, persistent freezes, or unresponsive displays are some of the most prevalent symptoms to emerge. However, other issues such as random malfunctions, corrupted data, and improper updates might also cause these symptoms. Whatever the reason, it is an issue that must be addressed as quickly as possible. A similar issue with the iPhone SE is addressed in this post, with a focus on delayed touchscreen responses. Continue reading to see what choices you have if you ever have the same problem with your iPhone SE.
1. Restart your iPhone (Soft Reset).
If there isn’t enough memory on the device, minor errors are frequently the culprits. If this is the first time your iPhone SE has been sluggish to perform, it’s most likely one of many random software bugs on your device. Restarting your iPhone is an easy solution to this problem.
To do so, press and hold the Power button on your iPhone until it turns off, then slide it to power off. Turn your iPhone back on after 30 seconds by pushing the Power button until the Apple logo shows.
After the reboot, use your iPhone, as usual, to determine if the problem has been resolved. If it doesn’t work, try the next available options.
2. Force background apps to close.
Background applications can occasionally cause a conflict with the system, resulting in a delayed touchscreen response. It’s the same thing that happens when one of the background applications crashes. Other functions of the iPhone are usually affected as well. Clear all your recent applications using these procedures to be sure this isn’t the problem:
- Press the Home button twice quickly. This will bring up a list of apps that have been used recently.
- To clean or end an app, swipe it.
- Carry on with the remainder of the apps on the screen in the same way.
- Reboot your iPhone once more to determine whether the problem has been resolved.
3. Manage internal memory.
A regular lag in the touchscreen might indicate that your iPhone’s functionality is deteriorating owing to a lack of memory. If you often download large files and demanding applications to your iPhone, your phone’s internal memory is likely to be running out soon. As a result, your gadget is becoming increasingly slow. Memory management would be required if this is the case.
Go to Settings-> General-> iPhone Storage to see how much storage space your iPhone SE has. View the used and available memory on the following screen, or scroll down to see how much memory each programme is taking.
If your memory is running low, you’ll need to make some room. Remove any useless files and unnecessary apps from your device to do this. Another option to explore is transferring some of your crucial data to an external device or online storage.
4. Update iOS to the most recent version.
Keeping your iPhone system up to date is one method to ensure that it performs at its best. This is why Apple always advises you to install the most recent iOS version for your device. Software upgrades, in addition to bringing new and improved features, also provide bug patches to address existing software issues caused by faults in the present iOS platform. Check for available software updates and upgrade your smartphone to the newest iOS version if you haven’t already.
Go to the Settings-> General-> Software Update menu to do so.
If an update is available, a notification will appear. Make sure your device has a steady Internet connection and enough energy to continue with the update process. This is to avoid data corruption as a result of a partial or unfinished update installation.
5. Reset or restore your iPhone to factory settings.
You might try a factory reset on the iPhone SE as a final option. A factory reset erases everything from your iPhone’s system and returns it to factory settings. All system flaws, such as a sluggish touchscreen response and software issues, are then removed, as well as any vital data saved on the internal memory. As a result, your iPhone will get a fresh start. However, before you begin, make a backup of all of your vital data, as the system will erase everything. Once you’ve got everything set up, you may reset your iPhone SE to factory settings by following these steps:
- Go to Settings app
- Select General.
- Reset option may be found by scrolling down and tapping it.
- Erase all content and settings is the option to choose. The master reset is then triggered.
- Wait until your iPhone reboots once the reset is completed. Proceed to the initial setup after the reset, and then use your iPhone as usual.
You may also use iTunes on a computer to recover your iPhone SE. To do so, you’ll need a Windows or Mac computer with the most recent version of iTunes installed. You may next choose to restore from an iOS backup or restore your iPhone to factory defaults. To execute the required process, simply follow the onscreen directions in iTunes.
