| From: Ken Adams | 2/15/2018 5:21:12 PM | | | | | | A friend just told me I should occasionally "reboot" my iPhone. He says there's a difference between just starting the phone each morning, as I do with my computers. A "reboot" is different and does a sort of cleanup the junk process, according to him. He told me how to do this and said I'll need my passcode to get access to phone usage once it completes the reboot.
Does all this make sense to those out there who know? Can I get in trouble with this since I don't think I've ever had a passcode for the phone which I've been using for at least 4-5 years now.
Lastly, is this something I really NEED to do? |

I'm told that a "reboot" does some stuff that doesn't happen with a shut down and start up the next day. I may need to get hold of my phone supplier and ask these questions there. |

| To: Ken Adams who wrote (2957) | 2/15/2018 7:30:55 PM | | From: waitwatchwander | | | | | A shutdown power up whenever is a clean reboot. What's mostly going to happen is all the apps you Fire up during the day will be terminated. You can do the same thing without power down by holding the button and sliding each app window (or card) to the top of the phone. This is the Palm patent now owned by Qualcomm that Apple is blatantly infringing but that's another matter. |
