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.

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

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

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
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.

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.
