How to free RAM in iPhone X?

When I had my iPhone 7p I was used to free my RAM by holding the home button after the activation of the “slide to power off” screen! What about now with my iPhone X?

Are there any ways to do that?

Thank

You weren’t freeing anything when you did that before, btw. The simple act of powering off and back on clears RAM, just as it does on any computer - RAM empties when the device powers off. System RAM is volatile memory.


When on, as mentioned, there is no command or control trick to “clear” RAM. iOS manages RAM very efficiently already, so there’s no point to any such feature.
