The One Default Setting Apple Doesn’t Want You To Know Is Ruining Your iPhone Battery

It isn’t all bad news. With iOS 13, Patel reminds us you can quickly turn off background app refresh and make your iPhone faster. Just Head over to Setting > General > Background App Refresh and toggle off the Background App Refresh. And Andrew Drow, COO at Cloom, provided five tips on how to speed up your iPhone that can also help you solve the problem: 

1. It's the "Updating Apps" pop-up that is slowing down your iPhone. 

2. Background App Refresh is a new iOS 7 feature that allows apps to update data or refresh content in the background, even when you're not using them. This setting can be turned on or off at any time.

3. Apps are enabled for Background App Refresh when they are open, but are not running in the foreground. 

4. Enable or disable Location Services to control which apps can access your location information while you use them in the background. Turn off an app's access to Location information if it isn't absolutely necessary or if you want to preserve battery life.

5. Some apps that use Location Services, like Maps or Weather, will continue to collect location data even if you've turned off the feature for Background App Refresh.
