Is your iPhone battery struggling to make it through an entire day? Have you already done your due diligence and deleted battery-draining apps like Facebook, only to continue confronting the problem? Don’t run off to the Apple store just yet or consider your battery old and in need of replacement. Miranda Yan, Founder of VinPit, offers four hacks tech experts swear by to make your iPhone battery run like new.
Use Power-Saving Mode
The best way to allow your battery a longer life and efficient performance are by activating the power-saving mode found in the settings of most phones, Yan says. “This limits the processor usage and reduces the screen’s brightness display, using only the bare minimum power to keep its critical functions running.”
Uninstall Infrequently Used Apps
“To prevent round data usage and battery drainage, it's better to uninstall all unused applications,” Yan says. “The more apps there are on your phone, the more power your phone uses to keep them running in the background.”
Organize Your Home Screen
“Since most iPhone users don’t realize that a cluttered home screen sucks away their battery life, they load it with tons of apps and widgets,” Yan says. “Instead, use Black wallpaper or minimum colors to reduce battery life in newer Android phone models considerably.”
Switch Off Sound And Vibration
“Sounds and vibration also heavily drain the battery,” Yan says. “Make your battery run like new for more extended periods, switch off call beats, pop-up messages, and notifications sounds.”
