If you feel that it is difficult to achieve a full day of use with your smartphone, you may not have thought of making this adjustment as simple as it is effective! We will explain everything to you.

If our smartphones lasted easily for several days several years ago, this is no longer really the case today. The most recent iPhones and Android phones often struggle to last more than a single day… When they manage to last a single day!

However, there are several settings that can save battery power, especially on the iPhone. First of all, you have to make sure that your device deploys as few actions as possible in the background. This includes several options to disable such as:

Using 5G instead of 4G Automatic downloads and updates Screen brightness Screen refresh rate (limited to 60Hz on iPhone) Background iCloud refresh, including for your pictures

How to enable power saving mode on iPhone?

One of the best ways to save battery on iPhone is to engage the “power saving” mode. The latter, located in the general settings of your phone and in the “battery” tab, allows your device to consume much less energy.

However, this option has a small defect which can quickly become very restrictive if you want to use it constantly to save battery power. The “power saving” mode is automatically deactivated when your iPhone reaches 80% battery. The device judges, at this precise moment, that you no longer need to save battery resources.

How to leave the “energy saving” mode permanently activated

However, there is a technique to leave the “power saving” mode permanently activated on iPhone. For this, we will use the automations of the device. These are small conditions that, once configured, allow you to perform many very practical operations!

To do this, go to your application called “shortcuts”. The latter should already be on your iPhone if you have an up-to-date device. Then go to the “automation” tab to create a new configuration by clicking on the small “+” at the top right of your screen. All of the next actions will be performed in the “shortcuts” application.

Scroll down a bit until you find “power saving mode” Uncheck “is enabled” and check “is disabled” Click on “new empty automation” then “add action” Look for “set power saving mode” and select the

You should have created an automation on your iPhone which will make it understand that, if the “energy saving” mode is deactivated, the latter will automatically restart it! You will thus have a device that permanently benefits from the “energy saving” mode and whose autonomy should significantly improve compared to your previous settings.
