You’re busying getting ready for a big event. You get in the car and put on your GPS. You’re almost there, and then it happens: your battery dies and you have no clue where you are going. Sound familiar? Any iPhone user knows to keep that charger handy because then battery drains pretty quickly. But fear not, there are ways to conserve the battery life of your iPhone.
Here are 5 easy tips to save your iPhone battery.
5 Easy Tips To Save Your iPhone Battery
- Turn Off Wi-fi—Leaving your Wi-Fi on is a definite battery drainer. It’s best to turn it off when you don’t need it. How to turn off your Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi > Move slider to Off/white.
- Turn on Auto-Brightness and Reduce Screen Brightness—Auto-Brightness saves energy because your screen uses less power in dark places. To adjust auto-brightness: Tap Settings > Display & Brightness (Brightness & Wallpaper For iOS 7) > Slide Auto-Brightness to On/green. The brighter the setting for the screen, the more power it requires. To reduce the screen brightness: Tap Display & Brightness > move slider as needed.
- Turn Off Location Services—Save some power and turn off Location Services if you’re not using it. Turn off Location Services by: Tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services > move slider to Off/white.
- Background App Refresh—If you’re not too familiar with this feature, it works by looking at the apps you use the most, and the time of day that you use them. Then it automatically updates them for you, this way, the latest information is waiting for you the next time you open the app. To turn it off: Tap Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Then you can either disable the feature entirely or just for specific apps that you want to use it with.
- Buy An Extended Battery Life— If these tips aren’t doing the trick, an extended life battery is your best bet. You’ll get days more standby time and more hours to use.
