Hi Janet. You can always clear your memory, by turning off your phone, about once a week or 2, and this should do the same thing, as far as i know.

LOL! The reason why I say this is because according to these instructions, I go to settings, general, accessibility, and turn on Assistive Touch, and then go back to general, and tap on the shutdown button, and I do all that just fine, but according to the instructions, it says to press and hold the assistive touch button, but I’ve searched the entire page for the assistive touch button under general, but it is not on that page! LOL! Either that, or I am losing my mind! LOL! If anyone has cleared the ram on their xr phone, please let me know how you did it. I also can’t find the on-screen button rather I turn on the assistive touch or not. A few weeks ago, I noticed my xr phone started acting a little sluggish, so I thought if I cleared the ram, it might work better. Thank you for all your help.

But if you want to try this, the on-screen home button is the one which you can find after you tap on the Assistive Touch menu, this itself is a button which appears on the screen near the bottom right after you turn on assistive touch, you can also find this button, tap on hold on it and drag it wherever you want on the screen, e.g. you can drag it to the bottom in the middle so it appears approx.. in the same spot where the old physical home button on older phones used to be.

I did several Google searches, and I came up with the exact same results as you are showing here. I can follow most of the steps to clear xr iPhone, until I get to the last step, Tap on the Assistive Touch button and then press and hold on the on-screen Home button until your iPhone flashes and returns to the Home screen. Do they mean the on-screen Home button is the power on and off button? Am I supposed to go back to the Accessibility page to find the Assistive Touch button, and press it and hold it? Can someone please tell me how to work with this last step? Thank you all!

Doing a Google search for “How to clear memory on the iPhone” resulted in a lot of articles, many older and referring to phones with a mechanical home button and apparently even the iPhone 7 which I believe had the first virtual home button still works this way. Anyways, I also found an article from 2018 which explains how to do this on the iPhone 7 and older phones as well as the iPhone 8 and iPhone X and, I assume XR/XS/XS Max. I tried the method described in the article on my iPhone 8 and the result was the same as pressing and holding down the virtual home button, I ended up on the lock screen where I had to enter my passcode, Touch Id at that point did not unlock my phone and focus did not return simply to the home screen. If anybody wants to try this on the iPhone X/XR/XS, here is the text of the article: Speed Up iPhone: How to Clear RAM on iPhone to Make It Faster By Conner Carey updated on 04/10/2018 How do you clear RAM on iPhone and what does clearing RAM do? Resetting RAM on your iPhone makes it perform faster. Memory on iPhone is about how many various activities are going on at once. Clearing RAM allows iPhone to clear out any processing it doesn’t need to currently do. When you clear RAM on your iPhone, nothing on the surface changes. But you will see and feel the difference when using your iPhone. This is one of the best ways to make your iPhone faster in just a couple short steps. You can clear RAM on any iPhone model, including the latest iPhone 7. Here’s how to clear RAM on iPhone to make it faster. What Does Clearing RAM Do on iPhone? This is one of those tricks that rarely gets talked about, but if your phone is feeling sluggish, clearing the RAM should help give it a boost. Clearing iPhone RAM is like sweeping cobwebs from a closet—the information that’s cleared isn’t needed so we reset RAM to free up usable memory on our iPhones. With less information to process and filter through, your iPhone is free to run faster. How to Clear RAM on iPhone 7 & Older iPhones Hold down the Sleep/Wake button. When Slide to Power off appears, let go of the Sleep/Wake Button. Hold down your Home button. After a few seconds, your screen will flash blank and then return to Home screen, which means you’ve cleared your iPhone’s RAM. Some users have had trouble with this and I’m not sure why. If Siri comes up when you hold down the Home button, one user suggested turning Siri off to clear RAM and then turning Siri back on when you’re done. For most this should go smoothly and be easy to do. If your iPhone has been particularly sluggish, you’ll feel how much faster your iPhone is instantly. How to Clear RAM on iPhone 8 & X First, you will need to turn on Assistive Touch. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch and toggle Assistive Touch on. A gray and white button will appear on the screen. Next, return to the General page in your Settings app. Scroll down to the bottom of the General menu and tap Shut Down. A screen should pop up telling you to slide to power off with a Cancel button at the bottom. Tap on the Assistive Touch button and then press and hold on the on-screen Home button until your iPhone flashes and returns to the Home screen. It’s good to note that clearing RAM on your iPhone will not quit any of the apps you had open; the app will simply reload. Everything should be as it was, just faster. That's all there is to it!

I was just looking through my archives list and found some information about clearing the memory. I decided to do this. I held down the screen lock button until it said IPhone shutting down, then held down the home button on my IPhone 7. Voice over didn’t come back, but I heard the siri beep. Should I have held it down longer? Thanks. God bless! Paula and Garçon -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
