Battery drains fast even when I'm not using the phone. Do I need to swipe apps closed, or is turning off background app refresh the proper way? Not sure which apps are the problem.

just moved from an old ipad to an ipad air and there's no home button. swiping up just takes me to the home screen, the apps still seem to be running in the background. how do i actually quit one?

Set up a new iPhone with Quick Start and a bunch of apps are missing or show as greyed icons that won't finish downloading. Is there a proper way to move every app across, or do I redo the transfer?

Spotify, Teams, Steam and a couple I don't recognise all open on startup and the laptop takes ages to be usable. Where do I stop them from starting automatically?

Spotify, Teams, a printer utility and a few others launch at login and make startup crawl. Login Items only lists some of them. Where are the rest coming from?

Uninstalled a few apps by dropping them in the trash. Storage barely changed. Do they leave settings and caches behind, and how do you clear those too?

Been trying to unhide apps on iphone for two days and i'm clearly missing a step. It worked fine a few months ago, which is the confusing bit. Does it need anything turned on first?
