In this quick tutorial, we’ll show you how to reboot your iPhone or iPad with just two taps on your Home Screen or Lock Screen so you can refresh the system quickly.

Turning your iOS device off and back on can fix temporary glitches and app freezes and free up space by removing unnecessary cached files. Still, restarting isn’t something an average user needs to do every day. I usually restart every 3 to 4 days to keep my iPhone and iPad snappy and lag-free.

But if you’re someone who tests apps, websites, and such, and need a super quick way to restart your iPhone or iPad, then this tip is for you. It lets you perform a restart in just two taps. You don’t have to press and hold the physical buttons to power off the system, wait for a minute, and then turn the device back on.

Restart iPhone or iPad from Home Screen

1) Open the Apple Shortcuts app and tap the plus button (+) in the top right corner of the Library tab.

2) Use the Search Actions bar to find and add the Shut Down action to your build.

3) Tap the blue Shut Down option and change it to Restart.

4) Then tap the current shortcut name at the top and rename it to Restart.

5) Tap the shortcut name again and select Add to Home Screen. Now add a desired symbol (such as the power button icon) or image to your icon, as it will appear on your device’s Home Screen. Then, tap the Add button to place a restart icon on your iPhone or iPad Home Screen.

Moving forward, just tap this button and confirm to reboot your iPhone or iPad. It’s a good thing that iOS asks for confirmation; if it didn’t, even an accidental touch could have shut down your device.

Restart iPhone or iPad from Lock Screen

Recent versions of iOS support adding shortcuts to the Lock Screen as widgets. Using this, you can add buttons to open the camera with one tap or quickly start an audio recording. And of course, you can also add the restart button to the Lock Screen, but remember that it will only work after you unlock the device with Face ID or rest your finger on the Touch ID button.

1) Build the Restart iOS shortcut using steps 1 to 3 under the previous heading.

2) Touch and hold your unlocked Lock Screen to customize it. Then, tap the Add Widgets option, select Shortcuts, and tap to add its small widget.

3) Tap the added widget and select the Restart shortcut you built earlier. Now, tap X, followed by Done, to add the restart shortcut to your iOS Lock Screen.

Moving forward, tap this shortcut and confirm to reboot your iPhone or iPad.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the easiest way to transfer all your subscribed channels from one YouTube account to another so you don’t have to manually subscribe to each creator individually.

Since there is no official option to copy YouTube subscriptions between accounts, I spent a long time researching and found a great third-party solution that I will share with you.

How it works

The entire process is simple.

• You’ll use a handy YouTube subscription transfer browser extension that will collect all your channel subscriptions from one account.
• Then switch to another YouTube account in the same browser.
• Use the same browser extension again, and this time it will run a background process that automatically subscribes to those channels with your new YouTube account.

What you need

• Mac or Windows PC
• Access to both Google/YouTube accounts
• About 4 seconds for every subscription you have. So, if you have 100 subscriptions to transfer, you’ll need 100 x 4 = 400 seconds or ~7 minutes.

A couple of important things to keep in mind

First off, this browser extension doesn’t require you to log in or give it access to your Google account. You only need to sign in to YouTube like you normally do. But to be extra secure, you can create a new Google Chrome profile and not sync any personal info (like passwords, history, etc.) to it. Use the YouTube subscription transfer tool in this new browser profile, and then delete it once the job is complete.

Secondly, like all online services, YouTube also has a soft limit on how many times you can subscribe to or unsubscribe from channels in a given time frame. If you transfer several hundred subscriptions in a short time frame, YouTube may block you from subscribing for a while or even take drastic measures like restricting your account. So, I recommend checking your old YouTube account and manually unsubscribing from any channels you no longer want to carry over to the new account.

With basics out of the way, here’s how to proceed.

Transfer all subscriptions from one YouTube account to another

1) Visit YouTube.com in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and make sure you’re signed in to the account that has all the subscriptions. Then, click the profile picture icon in the top-right corner of YouTube, select Switch account > Add account, and sign in to the second YouTube account where you want to carry over subscriptions from the first account.

2) After signing in, switch back to the first YouTube account where all your subscriptions are.

3) Visit biplobsd.me/apps/yst (this is the developer’s website) and install the YouTube Subscriptions Transfer extension.

4) Visit YouTube.com and click the new browser extension icon at the top, followed by the “Open Subscriptions” button to load the youtube.com/feed/channels page.

5) Click the YouTube Subscriptions Transfer extension icon again, and this time click the “Collect channel” button. If you don’t see this button, refresh the youtube.com/feed/channels page and retry. Wait until you see “Channel IDs collected successfully” in the Status box.

6) Now, click the YouTube profile picture icon and switch to another YouTube account.

7) Click the YouTube Subscriptions Transfer extension icon again, and you’ll see “Subscriptions: X number” in the Data section. Click the “Subscribe” button and wait.

The extension will individually subscribe to all the channels for your new account. It took me 9 minutes to transfer 137 subscriptions from one YouTube account to another.

Once all your subscriptions are carried over, you can delete the extension and this browser profile.

Manual methods you can try

These two methods are doable if you have just a few subscriptions to transfer and your computer is powerful enough to handle several open browser tabs.

1. Log in to both YouTube accounts in the same browser (step 2 above).
2. Then, visit youtube.com/feed/channels for your old YouTube account.
3. Hold the Command key on Mac or the Control key on Windows PC and click every channel link to open them in new tabs.
4. Then, switch to another YouTube account.
5. Now, refresh each channel page and click the Subscribe button. Or, close the browser and reopen it: you should see an option to restore the previous session or restore all recently closed tabs. Do one of these, and it should refresh all channel pages. Click the subscribe button for all creator channels individually.

Yet another method involves requesting a Google Takeout export of your YouTube subscriptions list. Then, open that file and click the individual channel URLs to load them and subscribe manually.
