Want Your iPhone Battery To Last Longer? Tech Experts Say You Should Be Doing This Before Bed

Here are two more tips Schachner recommends for boosting your phone’s battery power. 

Turn Your Screen’s Brightness Down 

“Use Auto-Brightness or decrease your screen's brightness,” Schachner says. “With this method, you can prevent your iPhone from displaying brighter screens than necessary given the amount of light in your environment. This technique helps save battery since your iPhone requires less power to display dimmer screens.”

Limit Location Services 

“Limit your iPhone's use of location services, which uses your iPhone's GPS receiver to communicate with cell towers to determine your iPhone's location,” Schachner says. “Apps that use this location service and require frequent location updates tend drain your iPhone's battery quickly. If you'd like your iPhone battery life to last longer, in your phone's settings, you can remove some apps' permission to use your location services, or you can turn the location service off altogether if you've realized that you don't need it.”

Disable Background Refresh

Disabling background refresh for apps that don't need to load new content while you're not using them can save you a ton of a battery power. “For example, if you don't see the need for your social media apps to load new posts in the background since your feed will update as soon as you open these apps, you can consider disabling background app refresh for these apps,” Schachner says. “If this setting is disabled, your iPhone will have fewer tasks running in the background and will therefore consume less power overall. To prevent apps from slowing down your iPhone due to extensive background activity, you can go to Background App Refresh in the General section of Settings and disable this feature for some or all of your apps.”
