The iPhone battery has always been a concern for its users. Although battery life is getting better with each new release, it has not yet reached users’ expectations, so the only way to increase phone battery life is to turn off some unnecessary features or apps.
However, it appears that Kadamba’s account on TikTok has found some practical ways to extend battery life:
-
Disable background app refresh
Background app refresh allows all activities to be performed in the background. Although the feature is very convenient, it consumes phone data and battery. To disable background app refresh on your iPhone, go to Settings, then General, Background App Refresh, and then the option to turn the feature off.
-
Change motion settings
The same account says that being able to reduce some of the effects on the iPhone saves a lot of battery power.
To reduce unnecessary motion on your iPhone, go to “Accessibility,” followed by “Motion,” then “Turn on Reduce Motion.” Then turn off autoplay for both message effects and video previews.
-
Turn off iPhone analytics and system services
Turning off iPhone Analytics not only saves phone battery, but also gives the user more privacy. The feature sends data from your iPhone to Apple, which drains the battery. iPhone Analytics also raises privacy issues because it sends data from your phone to the parent company.
To turn off iPhone Analytics, you can go to “Settings,” then “Privacy,” then “Analytics,” then stop sharing iPhone Analytics. Similarly, system services can also be turned off as they are constantly running in the background and draining iPhone battery.
