A Tech Pro Reveals The Settings He Changed To ‘Double’ His iPhone Battery Life

There are a number of iPhone settings that can seem fairly harmless, but are actually guilty of dragging your phone’s battery way down low. You may not even be aware of it, but these settings consume battery power — and sometimes even storage space — and can lead to an overall compromised experience with your device. This one iPhone setting can even cost you money in the long run, something you likely didn’t plan for when you purchased your iPhone and plan. 

A tech pro from Payette Forward reveals the one setting he changed to boost his iPhone battery life. 

Here’s a setting you’ve probably rarely thought about — you may not even know that it exists. 

Go to Settings > Photos > Cellular Data. If Cellular Data is enabled on your phone, disable it. Turning this feature off restricts updates to Wi-Fi, including Shared Albums and iCloud Photos. The reason why this setting is so important is because turning it off prevents your phone from using your entire cellular plan to update photos to iCloud. This uses up your cellular data, which of course winds up costing you money.
