Over time, the iPad and iPad Mini become sluggish and slow. With these tempo tips you can get everything out of your Apple tablet.
For more speed: Quit running apps on the iPad
The iPad manages active apps in the background very reliably. Nevertheless, it can get very slow with many open apps. Thanks to the iOS Task Manager, this problem is quickly resolved:
- Switch to the home screen of the iPad and press the home button twice quickly. Alternatively, you can also pull up five fingers. In Task Manager you will now see all the apps that were last opened. Some of them are still running in the background, draining your iPad's performance.
- Therefore, you should quit all apps at regular intervals. To do this, swipe up the desired preview image. This removes the processes from the working memory and calculations are set in the background.
- Finally, close the Task Manager with the Home button.
Tempo tip for the iPad: switch off transparency and parallax
The transparency and the parallax effect have to be calculated constantly and therefore consume a lot of power. To make your iPad faster, you can turn off the effects:
- Open the settings of your iPad. Now select the "Accessibility" tab under "General".
- Under "Reduce motion" you will now find the switch of the same name. Activate this to switch off the parallax effect.
- Under "Accessibility" you will also find the "Increase Contrast" tab. Now select "Reduce transparency" to release computing power.
Slow iPad? - Outsource apps and free up storage space
If your current iPad is slow, you can make it faster again with a new feature in iOS 11.
- By "outsource app" the operating system only removes the app, but keeps your personal data. This allows you to reinstall them at a later time without losing your data.
- To outsource an app, navigate to the settings of your iPad and look for the menu item "General". Then switch to "iPad Storage".
- There you can then selectively outsource individual apps or activate automatic outsourcing.
- For apps from Apple, individual data of an app, such as downloaded content, can also be deleted here. In the future, however, this should also work with other apps.
iPad too slow? - delete unused apps
Apps that you do not use often only consume system resources on your iPad unnecessarily. It is best to delete them.
- Delete apps that you don't or rarely use from your iPad. This frees up storage space and helps the iPad use resources more efficiently.
- How exactly you can delete iPad apps can be read in a separate practical tip.
For jailbreakers: Cydia tweaks for more speed
If your iPad has a jailbreak, you can easily ignite the turbo thanks to the Cydia tweak "Speed Intensifier". This speeds up the animations of the system, which means that apps start slightly faster.
- Start Cydia on your jailbroken iPad or iPad Mini and search for "Speed Intensifier". Install the found tweak by clicking "Install" in the top right corner.
- After a restart you will find a new tab "Speed Intensifier" in the settings. Click on it to go to the settings menu of the tweak.
- Now click on "Current Selection" and you will be taken to another menu. Here you can now adjust the animation speed. The higher the value, the faster the animations. Therefore, choose one of the positive values.
- Now close the app by clicking on the home button. If the animation speed has not yet changed, restart your device to make the changes effective.
In an emergency: More performance thanks to the new iPad

Please note that older iPads become sluggish over time, as the necessary performance for new apps is often lacking. Here the tips only help to a limited extent. If you therefore want to switch to a new device, you are sure to make the right choice with an iPad or Samsung tablet.
