To make sure you have the latest version of iOS installed on your iPhone you must go to it Settings> General> Software update. If you see a new iOS update, try installing it as soon as possible.
Check the battery status
With several iOS models we can check the current battery status of our iPhone. It is a very useful exercise as we can see if it is very damaged or in good condition. And if the battery has been seriously damaged and your device is under warranty, Apple can replace it completely for free.
When we go Settings> Battery> Battery life We see what its ratio is. At standard prices Apple promises that the battery will save 80% of its power after two years.
Restrict app access
Location settings are very important to maintain battery downtime, and the few that can better reach our environment are our battery. In addition it is not only important to limit the applications that can access our environment, it is also important decide when they can get it.
To properly prepare apps that can reach your destination Settings> Privacy> Location and select applications and, if possible, select the "When used" option for applications that require this type of access, your battery will notify you.
Use low power mode
Low power mode is designed to help us in certain situations where we need to extend the battery of our iPhone, but in the case that your device's battery doesn't last long you can use this mode as usual.
Low power mode can work on Settings> Battery> Low power mode, or from a Control Center problem with a small battery drain.
Disable Wi-Fi when you leave home
Wi-Fi connection usually takes place at home or work, as long as it works it will only use battery power continuously search for the networks to connect to. For this reason, if you have battery problems, it is best to disable Wi-Fi completely when leaving home.
However, to activate a Wi-Fi connection, do not press the switch from the control center, you should go to device settings and disable Wi-Fi, create a shortcut or ask Siri.
Restrict access to Bluetooth apps
In the same way that it does with location, Bluetooth access to apps can also use more battery than is necessary. To configure Bluetooth-enabled applications you must go to them Settings> Privacy> Bluetooth and editing apps They may or may not use this technology. It is true that for some applications it is necessary but, why does Facebook want to sign in with Bluetooth?
Use black mode
It has been shown that the black mode released in iOS 13 and iPadOS makes our device use less battery, especially if your iPhone has OLED technology display such as iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro.
If you use this mode automatically you will save battery, and the more you use it the more you will notice its effectiveness. Using it you can do it from Settings> Screen & Light> Black, or do it from the Control Center icon, if it's not visible you can configure it from Settings> Control Center.
In areas with no cover, enable flight mode
If you tend to make areas without integrating you will know that your iPhone uses more battery, this is because the device always wants new networks to be calculated. For that reason the best thing you can do activate flight mode from the Control Center If you know you're in an area with no coverage, in addition to airplane mode you can allow Wi-Fi to be connected to the network.
Find the most battery-friendly apps
It is possible that some systems use more battery power than necessary, especially if you do not use them or are of little importance to you. You may not know exactly what apps and games that run more battery on your iPhone, above this table should be the one you use the most.
Knowing the most battery-powered applications on your iPhone is a must Settings> Battery and slide down. A list will appear where individual apps and battery usage have made in the last 24 hours and 10 days ago.
Restrict background app updates
If we allow all apps to recharge in the background, our battery will suffer, so we have to choose carefully which one to do. To do this we go Settings> General> Background update and only select our important apps.
Disable automatic app updates
This app store option updates the apps and games we installed on our iPhone automatically, without having to go into the store. But this hace every App Store that connects to the internet to look for updates, something that drains the battery.
Fortunately we can restrict this route from Settings> iTunes and App Store> App updates. Once this method is activated, we should update the applications manually.
Configure the frequency of new email updates
The Mail app is one of the most used on the iPhone, so it's one of the most used batteries. However, we can limit these battery costs by increasing the search time for new emails. Only the leader until Settings> Passwords and accounts> Get data and choose how often you want to search for new emails.
Do not close many apps
We've said it a thousand and one times, shut down various apps all you do is use more battery. This is because every time you close an app when you open it and it has to restart completely, which makes the processor more efficient. Apple has a much improved system that prevents when we leave the app to continue to drain the battery, so it's best not to remove it from multitasking.
