Your iPhone battery isn’t just suffering at the hands of social media apps like Facebook and TikTok or streaming apps like Netflix. There are a few cellular mistakes you could be making that are resulting in a less efficient phone. The good news is that the minute you uncover these errors, turning the tide couldn’t be easier. Tech Expert Anup Kayastha spoke to SHEFinds.com about two of the worst cellular mistakes you should stop making because they ruin your iPhone battery. Here’s what you need to know.

It could be a few minutes a day, but if you have many apps on your phone, it adds up quickly.. The best thing to do is to allow automatic app updates.”
