IPhone 4s very VERY slow lately?

I started noticing with the internet not loading like usually. It takes longer to receive messages on iMessage (which usually just sends as a text message to other iPhone users) and on the app Kik. Also, when downloading music it takes way longer (about a minute) I know it sounds like I'm spoiled lol but I'm not, trust me. I have a 8gb or 16gb i'm pretty sure. I downloaded & deleted many of my photos yesterday to my mac, but it didn't work. Suggestions? Should I back up on iCloud?

Click the home button twice to show all apps opened at the bottom, then hold until the x appears and close those out… They may be taking alot of memory.

  • Why is my Iphone 5 Battery Life so bad lately? My Iphone 5 has recently been getting very bad battery life. The only things that I have changed have been setting my email to push as well as resetting all of the phones settings. Would the email really hurt my battery that much? I took a shower today for 15 minutes and at first my phone was at 94% and when I got out, my phone was only at 98%.It used to charge so fast and I have no idea what is going on. Please let me know.
  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • My iPhone 6 has been acting a bit weird lately? I'll be texting a few people on imessaging or kik, and I'll have to double tap the home button. Sometimes when I double tap, it brings me to what looks like my home screen, but with no apps, just the wallpaper I have set. When I press the home button again, nothing happens. I have to restart my phone. This can happen up to 3,4, or even 5 times a day. What does this mean? Is something wrong with my iPhone? I have the newest updates installed btw.
