Hint
Background updates
Several features make Apple iPhone smarter and ready when you need it. One of these characteristics is the Refresh the App in the background. This feature analyzes which apps you use most frequently and the time of day you use them. Then update these apps so that the next time you open one of these apps, the latest information will be waiting for you.
For example, if you check social media at 7:30 a.m., iOS knows about it and automatically updates the social apps before that time. This is very useful, but as you will have understood, it drains the battery.
To disable background app refresh on iPhone:
- First go to Settings then General.
- Refresh the App in the background
- So choose Background app refresh > Off.
- Or disable the option only for specific apps.
Not automatically updating apps
Since iOS 7, apps can be automatically updated as new versions are released. Although convenient, this feature consumes your iPhone’s battery. Update apps manually when the battery is fully charged or iPhone is plugged into power.
To turn off automatic app updates:
- First go to Adjust to your iPhone
- Then search App Store and turn off app updates.
Auto Brightness
The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the screen brightness based on the light around it. This sensor makes the screen darker in dark places and brighter when there is more ambient light. This option saves battery power and makes the phone easier to use.
To enable auto-brightness in iOS 13 and later:
- First go to Adjust to your iPhone
- Then go to Accessibility > Display and text size, then scroll down and tap Auto Brightness.
- In iOS 12 and iOS 11, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accommodation Display, then tap Auto-Brightness.
Entertainment
One of the coolest features introduced in iOS 7 is called Motion (Background). It’s subtle: move the iPhone and watch the app icons and background image move independently of each other, as if they’re on different planes.
This parallax effect is ideal to highlight and gives the phone a more lively appearance. However, it offers few features and takes a heavy toll on an iPhone’s battery. Additionally, turning off that extra motion on an iPhone can reduce motion sickness for some people.
To disable background motion in iOS 12 and later:
- First go to Settings
- Now search Accessibility > Motion, then turn on Reduce Motion.
- For iOS 11, open Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion, then turn on Reduce Motion.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not going to use it
Wi-Fi has advantages and can save battery if the Wi-Fi signal is stronger than the mobile signal. Keeping Wi-Fi on all the time to find an open hotspot can drain your battery. Connect to Wi-Fi when available. If you’re not near a Wi-Fi network (like when you’re traveling), turn off Wi-Fi to save battery life on your iPhone.
To turn off Wi-Fi, you can do this:
- First go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off the switch.
- You can also swipe down from the top of the screen or up from the bottom (depending on the iPhone model), then tap the Wi-Fi icon to turn it gray. But remember that this way it would not be completely disabled.
Find the apps that are draining your iPhone battery
In iOS 8 and later, the feature Battery usage Shows which apps consumed the most power over the last 24 hours and days. To view it, follow these steps:
- First go to Settings
- Then search for Battery to check it.
- There may be notes under each item explaining why the app drained the battery and suggesting ways to fix it.
If an application appears systematically in the list, running it too frequently consumes a lot of battery.
Turn off location services
iPhone’s built-in GPS provides directions and locates nearby stores, restaurants, and other places. However, like any service that sends data over a network, it requires a battery to operate. If you don’t use location services, turn them off to save power.
To turn off location services, follow these steps:
- First open the app Settings, go to Privacy > Location Services.
- Select now Location Services and tap Turn Off to turn it off completely.
The iPhone performs many tasks in the background. Background activities, especially those connecting to the Internet or using GPS, drain your battery quickly. Unnecessary features can be safely disabled to restore battery life.
To disable background tasks, follow these steps:
- First go to Settings.
- So go down and search Privacy and Security.
- Here you will see a detailed list of apps that use your location and how and when they use it.
- And if you go down you will see the section System Services then turn off things like location-based Apple ads, popular near me, and time zone settings.
