The One Streaming Mistake Every iPhone User Should Stop Making Because It Drains Your Battery So Fast

There’s a good chance you use your phone to stream so much media — from music and movies to TV shows and podcasts. If you haven’t already noticed, all of that streaming can do a number on your device’s battery. Before you delete your Netflix app (because you know you really don’t want to do that), Tech Expert Yousun Allen, CEO at Yosun UV Printer, has tips on how to improve your battery power while you’re streaming fun entertainment. This is the one streaming mistake every iPhone user should stop making because it drains your battery so fast.
Not Taking Precautions Before StreamingThe problem isn’t that you are streaming media on your iPhone — the problem is that you aren’t properly prepared to stream media, which means your battery will dip down low and could leave you in the dust just when you need it. The solution is simple: take a few precautions before streaming. Start by examining the battery’s use, Allen recommends.
“When you see your iPhone battery draining quickly, the first question that comes to mind is, ‘Why is my battery draining so quickly’” and ‘What is draining my iPhone power?,’” Allen says. “As a first step, after you’ve identified the app that’s causing your iPhone battery to deplete rapidly, you may update it. If the software continues to produce issues, you can uninstall it. If you discover that these applications are not to blame for your iPhone’s battery consumption, you may easily re-download them at a later time.”
Allen provides these steps to follow:
i. Go to Settings > Battery
ii. Wait a few seconds for the Battery Usage feature to load on the Battery screen;
iii. Select “Last 7 Days” to display the percentage of battery consumed by each app over the previous seven days.
iv. Tap the time indication to access each app’s detailed information;
v. Figure out which applications consume the most battery life on your iPhone;
vi. You may now choose whether to update or uninstall the offending apps. If you notice that an app you rarely use is eating your battery excessively, delete it.
