There are various ways to boost your iPhone’s battery once you’ve figured out what’s draining it. According to our experts, here’s how to extend the life of an iPhone battery:
1. TURN ON LOW POWER MODE
When your battery gets to 20% or lower, your phone may prompt you to conserve power. Low Power Mode reduces some of your phone’s functions until you can juice up. But you can also turn on this feature any time: Just open Settings > Battery and turn on Low Power Mode.
2. REDUCE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Constant app notifications can keep you connected to the world—at the expense of your battery life. Do a quick audit and see which updates you can live without. Here’s how: Open Settings > Notifications, then choose an app from the list to adjust its notification settings.
3. ADJUST AUTO-LOCK SETTINGS
Auto-Lock controls the length of time before your screen turns off. To save battery life, choose a shorter Auto-Lock setting. It’s simple:
- Open Settings > Display & Brightness.
- Tap Auto-Lock and choose a length of time. Our experts recommend 30 seconds.
4. CHECK LOCATION SERVICES
Location Services is a helpful feature that uses cell towers, Wi-Fi hotspots, GPS, and Bluetooth to pinpoint your approximate location, but these services can also burn through the battery. When turned on, your apps can access your location. Turn it off for those that don’t need to know:
- Open Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
- You can turn off Location Services at the top of the screen or change the settings for each app by tapping Never, Ask Next Time, While Using the App, or Always, when the option is available.
Keep in mind that certain apps like Maps and Weather won’t function properly without Location Services. But to save battery, Asurion Experts recommend setting location features to While Using the App.
5. TURN OFF BACKGROUND APP REFRESH
When Background App Refresh is turned on, apps and services constantly run in the background of your iPhone, draining your battery. Here’s how to turn it off and maximize your battery life.
- Open Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
- Select Off or choose to refresh apps while using Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi & Cellular Data.
