The iPhone’s battery life is one of the most important features to many users. It’s also one of the first things that people judge when they check out a new phone. In fact, battery life is so essential for the iPhone that Apple has even included the remaining battery life as a central element in its iOS software. Now you might think, “If it’s so important, why not just carry around an external power source?” Well, because many people use their phones for much more than just making calls and sending texts. They use them to listen to music, take pictures and videos, surf the web and do other things besides simply making calls and sending texts — everything we do on our phones uses up battery!
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your iPhone Battery
Before we go into strategies for increasing the battery life, let’s start with some tips for getting the most out of your existing iPhone battery. For example, you should always make sure that your iPhone’s operating system is up to date. New versions of iOS often come with improvements to battery life. In addition, you should always make sure that your apps are up to date. New software updates often come with new features and bug fixes that can make your phone more efficient. For example, you should make sure that your phone is connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network whenever possible. This will allow you to use data more efficiently. If you’re not connected to Wi-Fi, your phone will constantly be looking for a connection — which can eat up a lot of battery power. Wi-Fi connections don’t draw as much power. Also, make sure that you have installed all of the software updates for your apps. New software updates often come with improvements that can make your phone more efficient.
Turn on Battery Saving Mode
If you’re having battery issues, one of the first things that you should do is turn on Battery Saving Mode. You can find this option in the Settings app under Battery. You can also find Battery Saving Mode in the setting menu of your Apple Watch. This feature will automatically turn on when you are close to running out of battery. After you charge your device, Battery Saving Mode will stay off. Unfortunately, though, it is not possible to turn this feature on manually. When your battery is low, it will automatically kick in to help you get through the rest of your day.
Don’t leave your apps running in the background
Apps in the background can use up a substantial amount of your iPhone’s battery. In fact, an app can continue to run even after you’ve closed the app. If you’re not careful, this can significantly affect your iPhone’s battery life. If you don’t need an app to run in the background, you should close it after you’ve finished using it. You can do this by pressing the Home key twice and then swiping the app symbol upward. You can also go into the app and select the “Quit” or “Exit” option. You should also avoid using the “Background App Refresh” feature. This feature allows certain apps to run in the background so that they can update themselves with new information.
Use the dark interface
Using the dark interface — also known as the “dark mode” — can actually help you save battery power. Apple recently introduced a dark mode for both its iPhone and iPad operating systems. The dark mode makes your screen much less bright, which can extend the life of your iPhone’s battery. It’s also nice to look at, so you’re not forced to squint your eyes when using your phone in a dark room. If you’re running iOS 12.1 or later, you can enable the dark mode by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Color Filters. If you’re running an earlier version of iOS, you can enable the dark mode by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Invert Colors. You can also use this option to use a “grayscale” mode.
Turn off features you don’t use
If you don’t use a feature, then you should consider turning it off. Here are some things that you might not be using that are draining your battery. – Wifi – If you don’t need it, turn it off! You don’t want it looking for a connection all the time when you don’t need it. – Bluetooth – If you don’t use a Bluetooth device, turn it off. This will save power and keep the airwaves clean.
Try a darker wallpaper
Many people choose their wallpapers based on aesthetic appeal. However, a darker wallpaper can actually make your iPhone’s battery last longer. Although the exact cause is not entirely clear, some people have found that using dark wallpapers can significantly extend the life of their iPhone’s battery. This is likely due to the fact that your screen is less bright with a darker wallpaper. This means that your phone’s display uses less power.
Conclusion
Everyone wants their phone to last as long as possible, but with thousands of apps being downloaded daily and other activities, the phone’s battery won’t last long. Thankfully, you can take steps to ensure that your battery lasts longer. One of the best ways to keep your battery running longer is by adjusting the brightness of your phone. This can be done by sliding your finger across the top of your phone or by going into your settings. Another way to make your phone’s battery last longer is by closing out the apps that you are not using. You can also turn off the features that you don’t use such as Bluetooth or WiFi. Finally, you can try a darker wallpaper on your phone to make the screen less bright.
