Is it possible that the throttling that Apple put into effect is affecting the Monzo app?
I turned it off on my 6S. I’ll just take the hit on battery health since I’m only a few months away from upgrading it anyway.

hmm interesting. I’ve got like 30gb spare so think its ok on that front, think its just a bit of an old, ropey phone now!

Ah I’ll look into that, could be. Think its nearly time for me to upgrade too!
Maybe! My phone is nearly two years old now so I’m hankering after a new one… but the worst speeds I’ve got was definitely when I had only about 12GB or so free space left. It took about 6-7 seconds.
which got this reply from Rika -

I suggest not killing the app, there’s no point in doing this on iOS

… other than coping with the urge caused by OCD. I kill my all apps everyday even though I am aware it doesn’t do anything useful speed-wise

Fair enough. I think it’s known to slow down your phone but each to their own

3 seconds after I killed the app or if it not been open for a while. Using the samsung galaxy note 8
I do have a good 5 second wait if the app wasn’t loaded, but I am on an iPhone SE so that’s not unexpected.
You should try a similar priced android phone, far superior 
2 years of transactions on my account, takes under 4 seconds from completely closed. Less than a second otherwise

Just as a heads up if you didn’t already know… Apple are replacing batteries on that handset (among others) for £25 up until 31/12/2018. It may be worth doing this if you plan to keep the handset.
That new battery, along with iOS 12 and it will be like having the latest handset from Apple.

For me it seems less than a second if launching from background. 1-2 seconds if launching following forced quit.
Transactions go back about 1.5 years.
iOS 11.4, iPhone 6S.
Quick here on iOS 12 with iPhone X
Great tip thanks!
Update: I have tried re-installing Monzo app, clearing iPhone ram and killing all other apps and…it loads now in about 8-9 seconds from cold start or 2 seconds if already opened. So a little better but still not great
Sounds like it is down to my phone though not Monzo - my battery is crap perhaps, or maybe just time for an upgrade!
If you go to Settings->Battery->Battery Health and Maximum Capiticy is under 80%, your battery is classed as consumed and you’ll see a decrease to performance. If it’s close to 80% I highly recommend replacing your battery whilst it’s cheap.

I second this!
£25 to replace a battery from Apple
