20 tricks to improve the battery of your iPhone so that it lasts longer
iPhone batteries are not known to last very long. We
offer you 20 tricks to make it last longer.
Surely you've heard it once: "The batteries of
old iPhones do not last at all". And the truth is that it is true.
Although it is also true that the new iPhones have improved a lot in terms of
battery.
But, if you have an older iPhone, it is very likely
that you have a problem with its battery life. And, although a portable charger
can be a good remedy to always have a battery, we also have another series of
recommendations that can make your iPhone's battery last longer.

However, keep in mind that if the problem with your
Apple device's battery is too severe, you may need to take the phone in for
service or even consider getting a new one. And, if your iPhone is not able to
charge, you will have to fix your iPhone not charging its battery issue.
Now yes, do not miss our 20 tips to make your iPhone
or iPad battery last longer.
Don't close open apps
You've
probably heard that having many apps open drains your iPhone's battery,
however, this is just a myth.
In fact, what will really drain the battery of your
Apple phone is the continuous closing and starting of applications, which is
why it is convenient that, if you know that you are going to use that
application more than once, leave it open.
Apple's chief software officer, Craig Federighi, has
confirmed that actually closing apps does not improve battery performance.

Activate 'Low Power Mode'
The 'low power mode' will make the phone
automatically manage the available battery so that it lasts as long as
possible. Apple claims that activating this mode can gain up to three extra
hours of battery life.
When your iPhone's battery drops to 20%, a
notification will appear giving you the option to turn on Low Power Mode.
However, if you wish, you can activate the energy
saving mode before reaching 20%. To do this, go to 'Settings > battery' and
activate the 'Low consumption mode' option.
Update the iOS operating system
The most recent iOS operating system update can be a
great opportunity to fix any little issues you may be having.
Keep in mind that with each update Apple works to
improve its software and fix bugs, among which you can find the low durability
of your battery.

Check the 'Battery Usage'
Wait for the battery consumption data to load before
going to "Settings > Battery." In this way you will be able to
check which applications or uses are drastically draining your iPhone's
battery.
You'll also be able to see other information like
how long you've used the phone since the last charge or how long it's been since
your iPhone has been charging. Normally the first figure will have to be much
less than the second.
Lower the screen brightness
As in almost all devices, the screen is one of the
reasons why our battery drains quickly. If the screen brightness is at maximum,
your battery will drain much faster.
We've done the test with an iPhone 5, with the
screen brightness at maximum, and the battery lasted 6 hours and 21 minutes
while playing a 720p video. However, when I lowered the brightness to half, the
battery lasted 9 hours and 48 minutes.
To regulate the brightness of the screen, go to
'Settings > screen and brightness', and slide the upper bar to adjust the
brightness to your liking.

Auto lock
As we explained in the previous point, having the
screen activated consumes battery. For this same reason, you want the screen to
be off when you are not using the phone.
For this, it is recommended to configure the
automatic lock so that the phone is locked as soon as possible after it has
been used for the last time.
If you go to 'Settings > Display & Brightness
> Auto-Lock' , you can select how long your iPhone waits before
automatically locking itself. The minimum is 30 seconds, an option that, in
case you want to save battery, we recommend.

Turn off Wi-Fi
If there are
no Wi-Fi connections available and you are using your data to stay connected,
we recommend turning Wi-Fi off. In this way, your iPhone will stop constantly
searching for Wi-Fi networks to connect to (which uses up battery).
To disable Wi-Fi, simply swipe up and tap on the
Wi-Fi icon to turn off the option.
Turn off bluetooth
As with the Wi-Fi option, having Bluetooth enabled
will cause your iPhone to continually drain battery power by searching for
nearby Bluetooth networks to connect to.
To deactivate Bluetooth you will have to carry out
the same action as in the previous example: slide from the bottom to the top
and tap on the Bluetooth icon.
Down the volume
You probably didn't know that volume adjustments
also affect your iPhone's battery. So if you listen to music continuously on
your iPhone or iPad, try that at least the volume is not turned up to the
maximum.
Turn off the sound equalizer to save battery. Go to
'Settings > Music > EQ', and check that next to EQ there is a 'No'.
Turn off vibration
Go to 'Settings > Sounds and vibrations' and turn
off the 'Vibration with tone' and 'Vibration on silent' options.
In this way, if you receive several messages or
notifications at once, the vibrations that they cause will not drastically
drain your iPhone's battery.
If you need a notification when you receive a
message or when something happens in a certain app, you can choose a ringtone
or sound instead of vibration.
Avoid visual effects
When the iOS 7 operating system was introduced, 3D
wallpapers or other visual effects were also introduced making your iPhone look
even more beautiful than it already is.
Although these images with effects used as wallpaper
are very exciting, the truth is that, unfortunately, they are also a reason for
unnecessary draining of your battery.
For this reason, we recommend using wallpapers
without special visual effects, since, although they are more boring, they will
help you optimize the battery life of your iPhone or iPad.

Notifications
By editing the settings of the notifications you
receive you can save a lot of battery. Every time you receive a notification,
the screen of your iPhone or iPad is activated, as well as vibrating and/or
making a sound.
If you multiply the time that a notification
"wakes up" your phone by all the notifications you receive daily, you
will see that in the end it is a long time.
We are aware that there are important applications
(for many users) such as WhatsApp or email that will require notifications,
however, many times we have notifications activated from secondary applications
that we can surely do without.
To be able to configure notifications, we recommend
that you go to 'Settings > Notifications' and one by one select the apps
from which you want to receive notifications.
Turn off the 'Auto set' of the clock
iPhones (and the vast majority of smartphones ) are
capable of updating the time automatically depending on where you are.
Thanks to this option, if you take a plane from
London to Zaragoza, for example, as soon as you land and turn the data back on,
the time in Spain will be accurate on your iPhone.
The same goes for time changes, if you have the
'Auto adjust' option activated, you won't have to change the clock manually.
If you never use Siri, but still have the 'Hey Siri'
option turned on, we recommend turning it off. Your iPhone or iPad's battery
life significantly decreases each time Siri is used.
To deactivate Siri go to 'Settings > Siri and
search', and deactivate the option 'When you hear Hey Siri'. If you want, you
can get more detailed information on how to disable Siri in this article.
If your phone is charging, or if you're not worried
about battery life, we recommend you take a look at our article on 'The
funniest and most insane questions to ask Siri'. You can have a fun time.
Although it is a very practical option, having it
activated consumes small percentages of battery. If you want to disable it, go
to 'Settings > Date and time > Automatic adjustment'.

Turn off 'Location'
Many times, when our battery is draining
drastically, the fault is not with the iOS system, but with the applications
that we have installed.
A large part of applications request permission
(which we normally accept) to be able to access your location. This means that
the location on your iPhone is continuously working, allowing different apps to
access it.
In order to improve the battery performance of your
iPhone or iPad, we recommend that you go to 'Settings > Privacy >
Location Services' and disable the option.
Turn off Siri
If you never use Siri, but still have the 'Hey Siri'
option turned on, we recommend turning it off. Every time Siri is activated,
the battery life of your iPhone or iPad suffers a great loss.
To deactivate Siri go to 'Settings > Siri and
search', and deactivate the option 'When you hear Hey Siri'. If you want, you
can get more detailed information on how to disable Siri in this article.
If your phone is charging, or if you're not worried
about battery life, we recommend you take a look at our article on 'The
funniest and most insane questions to ask Siri'. You can have a fun time.
Turn off automatic app updates
From iOS 7, the apps are updated automatically.
Although this feature is quite useful to keep everything up to date on your
iPhone or iPad, it can also be a reason for unnecessary battery drain.
Luckily, you can disable this option if you wish. To
do this, go to 'Settings > iTunes Store and App Store' and deactivate the
'Updates' option.
Shows the percentage of available
battery
You will undoubtedly be interested in being able to
monitor the percentage of available battery since you are attempting to control
your battery. To activate it go to 'Settings > battery' and activate the
'Battery percentage' option.
Your iPhone will notify you when you reach 20%
battery and also when you reach 10%. Being at 10% may cause the phone to turn
off suddenly, so don't do anything too important if you are at that percentage.

Calibrate your battery
If you are carrying out all the recommendations
explained, and still your battery does not last as long as it should last, then
your iPhone may be crying out for a battery calibration.
Apple recommends performing battery calibrations
periodically. To calibrate the battery of your iPhone or iPad, put it on charge
until it reaches 100% (turning off the device will take less time).
Once the battery reaches 100%, discharge it to 0%.
This task should be performed at least once a month to ensure the proper
functioning of the battery.
This process helps the device to estimate the
battery life in a more accurate way, and thus to check if the iPhone really
needs a battery change or not.
Do not have the iPhone always charging
Although it is true that when the charge of the
iPhone or iPad reaches 100% it automatically stops charging, from our own
experience we have been able to verify that having our devices continuously
charging, even if they have not exhausted their battery, contributes to wear
and tear on it.
Get a power bank
If you are one of those who is constantly using the
mobile, and you fear for the duration of your battery, you may be interested in
purchasing a power bank or external battery.
In this way, you can take the external battery with
you to be able to use it whenever the battery of your iPhone or iPad begins to
decline.
We recommend that you take a look at our article on
the best external batteries for iPhone or iPad.
