How To Save Battery Life

Hello in this tutorial i am going to show you how to save battery life on your IOS device - Billy 🙂


Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)
If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your power better:

1. Settings app
2. iTunes & App Store
3. In the Automatic Downloads section, find Updates
4. Move slider to /white


Turn Data Push Off
The iPhone can be set to automatically suck email and other data down to it or, for some kinds of accounts, have data pushed out to it whenever new data becomes available. You’re probably realized by now that accessing wireless networks costs you energy, soturning data push off, and thus reducing the number of times your phone connects to the network, will extend your battery’s life. With push off, you’ll need to set your email to check periodically or do it manually (see the next tip for more on this).

Find it in:

1. Settings app
2. Mail, Contacts, Calendar
3. Fetch New Data
4. Push
5. Slide to white


Fetch Email Less Often
The less often your phone accesses a network, the less battery it uses. Save battery life by setting your phone tocheck your email accounts less often. Try checking every hour or, if you’re really serious about saving battery, manually. Manual checks means you’ll never have email waiting for you on your phone, but you’ll also stave off the red battery icon.

Find it in:

1. Settings app
2. Mail, Contacts, Calendar
3. Fetch
4. Select Your Preference (the longer between checks, the better for your battery)


Auto-Lock Sooner
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.

Find it in:

1. Settings app
2. General
3. Auto-Lock
4. Tap your Preference (the shorter, the better)


Turn off Equalizer
The iPod app on the iPhone has anEqualizer feature that can adjust music to increase bass, decrease treble, etc. Because these adjustments are made on the fly, they require extra battery. Turn the equalizer off to conserve battery. This means you'll have a slightly modified listening experience - the power savings might not be worht it to true audiophiles - but for those hoarding battery power, it's a good deal.

Find it in:

1. Settings app
2. Music
3. EQ
4. Tap off


Make Sure Personal Hotspot Is Off
This only applies if you use the iPhone's Personal Hotspot feature to share your wireless data connection with other devices. But if you do that, this tip is key.

Personal Hotspot turns your iPhone into a wireless hotspot that broadcasts its cellular data to other devices within in range. This is a tremendously useful feature, but as you may have guessed if you've read this far, it also really drains your battery. That's an acceptable trade when you're using it, but if you forget to turn it off when you're done, you'll be surprised at how quickly your battery drains.

To make sure you turn off Personal Hotspot when you're done using it:

1. Settings app
2. Personal Hotspot
3. Move slider to off/white


One Common Mistake: Quitting Apps Doesn't Save Battery
When you talk about tips for saving battery life on your iPhone, perhaps the most common one that comes up is quitting your apps when you're done with them, rather than letting them run in the background.

This is wrong. In fact, regularly quitting your apps in that way can actually make your battery drain faster. So, if saving battery life is important to you, don't follow this bad tip.

For more about why this can do the opposite of what you want, read this.


Run Down Your Battery As Much As Possible
Believe it or not, but the more often you charge a battery, the less energy it can hold. Counter-intuitive, I know, but it's one of the quirks of modern batteries.

Over time, the battery remembers the point in its drain at which you recharge it and starts to treat that as its limit. For example, if you always charge your iPhone when it's still got 75% of its battery left, eventually the battery will start to behave as if it's total capacity is 75%, not the original 100%.

The way to get around your battery losing capacity in this way is to use your phone as long as possible before charging it. Try waiting until your phone is down to 20% (or even less!) battery before charging. Just make sure not to wait too long.

Buy an Extended Life Battery
If all else fails, just get more battery. A few accessory makers like mophie and Kensington offer extended life batteries for the iPhone. If you need so much battery life that none of these tips help you enough, an extended life battery is your best bet. With one, you’ll get days more standby time and many hours more use.

Do Less-Battery-Intensive Things
Not all ways to save battery life involve settings. Some of them involve the way you use the phone. Things that require the phone be on for long periods of time, or use a lot of system resources, suck the most battery. These things include movies, games, and browsing the web. If you need to conserve battery, limit your use of battery-intensive apps.
