While having your programs running in the background allows you to multitask and reload the same apps, it is inevitable that one of these **background apps may get damaged and crash.** If this happens, your other programs and system operations are likely to be affected as well. That's when applications go wild or [your iPhone](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50411/what-to-do-if-your-iphone-x-can-t-be-detected-by-computer) starts acting strangely. **Try closing all of your background programs** to be sure this isn't the source of the problem. This will also **free up some space** in your iPhone's internal memory, which will help it run faster and more efficiently. Here's how you do it: \

1. **Press the Home button** twice quickly (double-tap). If you do so, the applications viewer screen will appear with a loss of recently used apps.
2. **Swipe your finger up** on each app previews to clear/close them.

After clearing and ending all your recent apps, **reboot your iPhone to complete this workaround.** See if that helps.
