From: Rita Howells via iDevices Rita's iDevice Advice for October 10, 2016: How to make your phone battery last longer If the CPU is the brain of your mobile device, then the battery is its heart. And like your heart, there are steps you can take to keep it healthy. There is a limit to how far any phone can stretch, battery life isn't written in stone. How you use your phone and how you treat it determines not only how much time you get on a charge, but also how long the battery itself lasts. The first thing you should do is figure out how you're actually using your battery, and which apps and activities are drinking the most juice. Apple iOS provides a simple breakdown of what's draining your battery at any given time. Here's how to find it for iOS: Go to Settings, General, Usage, Battery Usage. From there, you can identify all the culprits and start thinking about how to focus your battery conservation efforts. There are a number of ways to conserve your battery and prolong its life. Depending on whether you're in a pinch, or if you just want to limit usage in general, there are some settings you can adopt to save battery life. Whether you are using iOS or Android, your screen is almost certainly the biggest battery hog on your phone. When you are feeling the heat, dim that screen! Not only will this save you precious battery percentage points, but it will reduce your phone's operating temperature and contribute to a longer life span. After all, heat is the natural enemy of electronics. Turn up the brightness when necessary, but leave it on Auto or low the rest of the time. For Apple iOS: Go to Control Center, and drag the brightness slider to the left. When using VoiceOver: flick up or down on the brightness indicator to move it higher or lower. For Auto Brightness, go to Settings, Display & Brightness, and toggle' Auto-Brightness to Off. As of iOS 7 and above, Apple introduced a whole bunch of fancy new animations to its user interface. These include the zooming effects that occur when you change apps and the parallax effect on your background image when moving the phone. They are pretty, no doubt, but they also eat up an entire CPU core, and put a strain on your battery. If you can live without the window dressing, you can save some juice by disabling these features. Here's how in iOS: Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Reduce Motion, and turn the setting to On. GPS is a serious battery destroyer. If you've ever had to use Google Maps for an extended period without a way to charge your phone, you know how quickly it dies. Other apps tap into GPS, too, often unnecessarily. If there is no reason for an app to know your location, turn that battery-draining feature off. If you are really in a pinch, just turn off Location Services entirely. For iOS: Go to Settings, Privacy, Location Services . Most smartphones include an option to automatically download app updates when they become available. This is a convenient out-of-sight, out-of-mind feature, but it's a drain on your battery. If you find that you are consistently short on battery, turn off automatic app updates and download new versions manually (preferably over WiFi). For iOS: Go to Settings, iTunes & App Store . From there, you can toggle automatic downloads for Updates, as well as Music, Apps, and Books to either the On or Off options. While you are there, look at the "Use Cellular Data" toggle to make sure you are not using cellular data to make any of these downloads. A lot of apps continue to run while you are not using them, sucking down data in the background. This is particularly true of email and social media apps. Sometimes this data use is necessary, but sometimes not. Every time an app activates the cellular or WiFi radio to refresh, it's draining your battery. To keep battery use to a minimum, you can either turn off background data entirely and update information by manually accessing your apps, or customize which apps are allowed to use background data. For iOS: Go to Settings, General, Background App Refresh. Every time you receive a push notification, your screen lights up and your battery reserves go down. (Depending on your settings, your phone may also ring or vibrate, further denting battery life.) You can save a little juice by limiting push notifications to the most necessary apps, like Twitter and messaging, which more or less depend on them to function as intended. For iOS: Go to Settings, Notifications, and select which apps to include. AirDrop is a nifty, underrated iOS feature that allows you to share files with other nearby iPhone users (via Bluetooth). But there is no reason to have it on if you are not using it. In fact, it will waste battery by searching for people you can share with. For iOS: Go to Control Center, AirDrop button. >From there, you can turn off AirDrop, or make your device discoverable to >"Contacts Only" or "Everyone" in a given network . Setting your phone to >vibrate has more or less entered the realm of "phone etiquette," but it actually drains more battery than a ringtone. Striking the right balance between battery conservation and annoyance is tough. For iOS: Go to Settings, Sounds, to adjust your Vibrate settings. Your phone includes a whole lot of radios, and they all drain the battery. If you are not going to be using the web and do not need frequent email updates, you can disable your cellular data to save some juice. It is also a good habit to turn off Bluetooth connectivity when you are not using it. If you have just a sliver of battery life left and are desperate to save it, you can just put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns your phone into a 100% offline handheld computer. Finally, pay attention to signal strength. Your phone drains battery trying to maintain a WiFi or cellular data signal, and it expends' more 'battery when the signal is weak. For that reason, if you are going to be outside areas with poor reception, it's probably best to put your phone in airplane mode. For iOS: Go to Settings, and you'll find your connectivity options for WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, and Airplane Mode right at the top. You can also open' Control Center, to toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, and Airplane mode. Heat is the enemy of electronics. It can sap life out of each battery charge, and also shorten the battery's overall lifespan. As mentioned above, you can dim your screen to reduce heat, but you should also avoid leaving your phone out in the sun or close to other heat sources. For the same reason, it is best to avoid using your phone while it's charging. Doing so stresses the CPU and jacks up the operating temperature. Leaving your phone plugged in after a charge is actually a-ok (almost all phones use intelligent charging algorithms), but using it while plugged in is bad practice. The vast majority of the time, the flash is just going to make your photos look flat, overexposed, and washed out. So even for just aesthetic reason, you should probably avoid using your camera's flash. With regards to your battery, this is even more critical, because that light is a drain on your battery.
