It may have happened with most of us that we download an app that is not being used often. Sometimes these apps don’t get the update or probably we don’t use them often. Such apps lead to slowing down of the device. With iOS 10.3, you can check out the compatibility by going to the settings menu and about an option on the General Settings. In case you have non-compatible apps you will see an arrow appear next to the number next to that app.
