After a long time of use, the iPad will show signs of slowing down, its performance is not as fast as before. Especially for older models like iPad 1, 2, 3, 4 or iPad mini 1, the status of slow devices will often occur. If your device is in a slow-working state, or using older iPad versions, you may want to refer to some iPad acceleration tips below.

1. Delete unused applications:

If the application does not need to be used, it is best to uninstall it, even if the application size is heavy or light. This will regain a large amount of memory, especially when your iPad has limited memory.

How to delete the application is very simple, press and hold the application icon until the icon vibrates, then click the X to delete the application.

If you want to delete multiple applications at once, users access menu Settings> General> Storage & iCloud Usage . Then click Manage Storage under Storage, then find unused applications. Click Delete to delete the application.

2. Restart the iPad:

After removing unused applications on the iPad, users should restart the device to refresh the memory. Press and hold the power button until Slide To Power Off appears , swipe right to turn off the iPad. Then press and hold on the power button to restart the device.

3. Turn off applications that automatically refresh the background:

This is the Background App Refresh feature added from iOS 7, with the task of automatically updating the latest content even if we don't open the app. However, this feature sometimes causes the iPad to fall into a "turtle-like" slow-running state.

To turn off this feature, go to Settings> General> Background App Refresh and switch to Off status.

In case users still want to use this feature for essential applications such as Mail, it is possible to turn on the Background App Refresh, but turn off applications that do not want to refresh in the list.

4. Upgrade to the new operating system:

The new version of the iOS operating system will solve a lot of problems in the predecessor, such as fixing some bugs, increasing security, optimizing the device for smoother operation.

If your iPad is running slowly, try upgrading to the latest operating system version. Go to Settings> General> Software Update menu and proceed to upgrade to the latest iOS version.

5. Delete Safari cache:

Safari is one of the most frequently used and slow applications. This is because you forgot to clear the cache when surfing the web on Safari. Visit the Settings> General> Clear History and Website Data links to clear the cache on Safari browser when we surf the web.

6. Turn off location services on the iPad:

In some cases of using the application, we need to use Location Services location. However, if you forget to turn off this service and let it run in the background, it will reduce the performance of the machine, even drain the battery quickly.

Follow the Settings> Privacy> Location Services link and move the Location Services setting to Off .

7. Turn off Spotlight on iPad:

Spotlight application on iPad device will help us to search content quickly. But to keep this tool in a standby state to receive search commands from users, may cause the device to fall into a slow operating state.
