Apple Employees Share 3 Battery-Draining Settings Everyone Should Turn Off In 2024

There are a number of ways you can save more battery power on your iPhone so that you don’t lose juice hours after you remove your device from its charger. Among those ways, tech experts often suggest enabling or disabling (or, more commonly, adjusting) certain settings that are known amongst iPhone users to be especially taxing on your battery. Wondering where to start? These three settings on your iPhone are probably responsible for a number of battery issues you are experiencing. Take better control of your device and help keep its battery strong by adjusting these settings. 

A number of apps you use request your location, and many have no justifiable reason for doing so. We can understand why something like a maps app with GPS requires your whereabouts, but social media? Oftentimes, this is requested so that these apps can push your information through to third-party advertisers who can then send you targeted ads. If you’ve ever wondered how your phone knows you are close to a certain store or restaurant, that just may be your answer. 

To adjust this setting, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Here you can review the list of apps that request your location and take away their privileges as you deem necessary.
