Hey zaki168,


What's happening with your iPhone that's causing you to feel the need to force restart your iPhone? Is your iPhone running slower than expected? If so, these steps can help: If your iPhone or iPad is running slow - Apple Support

Hello zaki168,


For difficulties with a particular app, you'll want to take the steps below:


1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
 
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.


You can also find those steps in this resource: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support


Should that behavior still persist, you'll want to reach out to the app developer: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support They'll be in the best position to troubleshoot their particular app further.


Take care.

Hi there, I see your question to the poster but you don’t actually answer his question.


i have an older iPad 6 with just 2 gb ram and when I find it slow I would press the power button till the shut down screen came up then press and hold the home button.

this would clear the ram.

why has this feature been disabled?

is there a new way to simply clear ram without a full restart?
