IOS – Does an ipad (iOS) need to be restarted occasionally

iosipad

Most of our webapp users never restart their ipads. (They think they are but they are just putting them to sleep).

Does the iPad reclaim memory, storage, etc. from apps that were never closed? Would restarting it fix this?

Symptoms this might fix:

  • Audio is distorted
  • Video is partially black

I tend to try and restart my iPhone/iPad every few weeks or once a month. I've found it to be a good best practice. If nothing else it just gives you a clean slate to begin on again! I hope this helps you out!
