The previous version of iOS has a lot of subtle little design details , like that neato fade - in - and - out affair that hap whenever you open or close an app . That ’s jolly smooth , huh ? The only problem is it create a slight pull that holds you back from unlocking your iPhone ’s ninja - quick potential . Good intelligence , there ’s a coolheaded elbow room to disable it that will make your iPhone run noticeably faster . Here ’s how it ’s done .
So , full disclosure : this is n’t a sanctioned option in your preferences , but rather a bug in the iOS software program that you ’d be wise to take vantage of . First , head toSettings > General > handiness > Assistive Touch , and turn on the Assistive Touch switch . Then , get back to the Home screen , and drag on the transparent Assistive Touch nub to the very bottom - right hand corner .
Next comes the weird part : activate the Spotlight Search screenland by dragging the Home screen downwardly , wait for the AT nub to pop up above the keyboard , and get through the empty part of the screen to dismiss Spotlight . You ’ll involve to recapitulate this dance step several meter – there ’s no specific number , but it took me around 10 – until you notice Spotlight ’s load and pink slip amphetamine is faster , which signals that the glitch is now active .

To test it out , go back to the Home screen and spread out any app . You ’ll notice there is no lag at all between your tap and the launching – and none when you close out either . On the sound above , the one on the left wing has activated the bug , while the one on the right has not . The remainder is decidedly obtrusive ; it ’s especially great for being quick on the draw to draw up Snapchat or Camera .
There is one small catch , though . The glitch resets any clock time you re Chalkboard for your phone , so endeavor to keep your reboots to a minimum .
