For many people, it is a dream to have an iPhone, but the worst nightmare is running out of battery, especially if you are about to get home and you think that your smartphone will not last.
But now Apple shares some tricks that will help you get the most out of your iPhone charging. They are not complicated things, but rather simple settings adjustments, so you can significantly increase battery life and avoid that annoying “low battery” notification that makes more than one person tremble.
One of the most effective settings is auto-brightness. This feature adjusts the screen brightness according to the light around you. If you are in a dark place, the brightness is automatically reduced, and if you are in full sunlight, it is increased.
Switch iPhone to night mode
This modification not only makes the screen more comfortable to look at, but also helps the battery last longer. To activate it, just go to Settings > Accessibility > Display and text size, and toggle the auto-brightness switch.
But if that’s not enough for you and you want to give your battery savings an extra boost, try turning on “night shift” from the same menu
This option adjusts the color temperature of the screen to warmer tones according to the time of day, reducing blue light at night and helping the battery last longer, as well as giving your eyes a rest.
Disable some features on your iPhone
Another tip shared by Apple is about auto-locking. If your iPhone stays on longer than necessary, the battery will run down much faster
To avoid this, set auto-lock to a short time, such as 30 seconds. This way, when you’re not using your phone, it turns off quickly and doesn’t waste power
To do this, simply go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock to set it up.
If you’re lucky enough to have an iPhone 14 Pro or later, it’s also recommended to turn off the always-on display. Although it’s designed not to affect the battery too much, keeping the screen slightly lit all the time can consume extra power. You can turn it off in the same Display & Brightness menu.
One of the latest tips from Apple to conserve your iPhone’s battery life is to go to location services, which are very useful for apps such as maps or weather, but are also big battery drainers
If you don’t need all your apps to track your location, it’s best to turn this feature off for apps that don’t require it. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, and you can turn it off completely or disable it for specific apps.
So now you have the information to make your iPhone battery last longer, it just requires a few tweaks.
