4 iPhone Settings Tech Experts Say You Should Always Have Turned Off For A Longer-Lasting Battery

One of the best ways you can keep your iPhone battery strong and standing the test of time is by tinkering with a few settings that are known for dwindling it down fast. These iPhone settings may be enabled without you even realizing it — and they’re likely not going to be missed once you finally get around to disabling them.
One thing is for certain though: iPhone users often rave about how much battery power they save just from turning off these four settings. Give it a try if your battery struggles to make it across the finish line (aka through a full day) without requiring a charge.
Location ServicesAny setting that uses your phone’s GPS is going to also use up battery power. Location Services tracks your whereabouts, often for a specific app that requires or requests it. For some apps, like the Weather app, this may be a no-brainer. But does Facebook seriously need to track you at all times? No. Head to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and decide which apps you want to never track you and which you’ll let track you — but only when you’re using them.
