Hi, One setting that can save some battery usage is the "screen brightness" setting. Reducing the brightness helps as the phone's display uses a fair amount of battery.
As one with no vision I set my screen brightness to 2% or 3% with a simple SIRI command "set screen brightness to 2%" On my iphone 8, while I have not accurately measured it, I feel this adds at least an hour of usage time per day. It should help yourusage as well. Of course, if I need sighted help I have to remember to turn up the brightness. I also keep a battery pack with me for the times when I run my phone really low during the day. :) Dave Clement Winnipeg MB On Jun 4, 2020, at 9:51 AM, Richard Turner <[email protected]> wrote: OK, if a battery that gets you through a whole day isn’t enough, then you need to by a battery pack as that is the best battery life of most iPhones. The plus or Max sized phones will give you more at a significant higher price point; far more than if you buy even a $100 external battery pack. You can reduce what runs in the background, and keep the screen display dim, etc. The alerts are under Notifications. At the very bottom of that screen you will find Government Alerts. Amber alerts, Emergency Alerts, and Public Safety Alerts. You can toggle any of those on or off. When the curfew was announced where I live, the public safety alert went off. I suspect that is where you would get alerts for hurricanes and earthquakes as well. HTH, Richard Chickens: the pet that poops breakfast!

The one thing I don't care for about the new SE phone is it doesn't seem to have good battery life. Is there anything I can do to make the battery life longer? It will hold all day but by the time my day ends it is pretty low. Also where in settings do I find alerts such as earthquake alerts as someone mentioned. Thanks!
