This two-second hack makes your iPhone run FASTER

It’s bad enough when you’re fighting for a signal, endlessly scrolling past gray square after gray square, and when the Wi-Fi kicks in, you’re still waiting, waiting, waiting…

Lagging phones are a modern day frustration, and with the endless operating system upgrades, it seems that your handheld device is just getting slower and slower.

So anything you can do to save your browsing time a few seconds is definitely a bonus, right?

There is a really quick and easy way to delete all tabs at once – and it will only take you a few seconds (File image)

One of the reasons why your phone can run slowly is due to the number of tabs in your internet browser that you inadvertently have open.

And for Safari users, all of these can be closed with a simple finger press.

The hack was shared on Twitter by user @TodayYearsOld, who asked their followers, “How old were you when you heard that you can hold down the tab browser on your iPhone to save three minutes of swiping?”.

And hundreds of people responded to the post, many saying they “never knew” this tip.

One person wrote: ‘Never knew’.

As another said, “Omg. this has changed my life, thank you.’

And a third said, “Omg, life changer.”

While another wrote, “Just closed 426 tabs,” as one person also noted, “This deserves a follow up because I just closed 323 tabs in one move.”
