Hey all,

I've been having trouble with my iPhone 6S and I thought it was time I ask about it.

Lately, it seems to just have poor performance RAM-wise. I don't use that many apps during an average day, but yet often, when I return to an app, it wont be in a saved state anymore. The most common app to do this is YouTube. I'll be watching a video, get called away and end up leaving the app, only to return to it and it be back on the main screen, and not paused on my video like I left it.

I do have background app refresh on. I've tried using apps to clear the memory, keeping other apps closed, and other methods to keep my RAM Clear, but the problem seems to persist. I also use an app called Offline Pages which stores webpages in the internal storage of the phone, and quite often when I return to it, the page I saved is totally gone, it doesn't even show up in the address bar and I have to fully reload the page.

I know this phone is a year old now, but it just seems really poor at Memory management. I remember when the 6s came out, it was a big deal it had doubled in RAM. It already doesn't seem like enough. Can I do anything to improve memory performance?

Thanks
