A Tech Pro Shares How To Clean Up Your iPhone From Battery-Draining Apps And Settings, Step By Step

Push Mail 

Turn off Push Mail and wait a few seconds for messages to load instead of having them readily available — you’ll save a lot of battery power this way and will only be inconvenienced momentarily. Go to Settings - Mail - Accounts - Fetch New Data.

Turn Down Your Phone’s Brightness Settings 

One of the fastest ways to boost your battery power is by turning down your screen’s brightness and keeping it as dim as possible, ensuring it’s still comfortable for you. Swipe up to access your phone’s Control Center and then manually lower your brightness setting.

Turn Off Raise to Wake 

There’s a really good chance that you don’t need your phone to light up and be ready to use the second you pick it up from any surface. Yet, if you have the Raise to Wake setting enabled, that’s exactly what will happen — and your battery will suffer because of it. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > toggle off Raise to Wake 

Delete Unnecessary Apps 

Have a good look through your device. Are there any apps that you rarely or never use? Don’t even think about it: delete them. The fewer apps you have on your phone, especially ones that don’t serve much of a purpose, the better off your battery will be.

Update Apps and Software 

Now that all of your unnecessary apps have been deleted, take care of the apps that you do have. Go to the App Store > Tap the account icon on the top right-hand corner > tap to Update All. It’s also really important to update your iPhone’s iOS whenever a new update becomes available. Not doing so can lead to bugs, a more sluggish device, and even battery drainage. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
