iPhone battery drains fast: avoid the low power setting, here’s how to disable this crucial setting.
No one likes to see their iPhone lose battery power quickly and that’s why the famous “yellow battery” icon is preferred. Low Power mode is usually preferred by many to keep battery consumption as low as possible. However, the power saving mode limits performance and screen brightness, ultimately affecting the overall experience. Fortunately, there is a way to extend battery life without sacrificing performance and overall efficiency.
Your iPhone, like most other smartphones, spends a lot of power updating apps in the background. For example, the Instagram app will continue to run in the background, using mobile data or Wi-Fi to update itself every few seconds so you don’t miss any notifications. The same goes for most social media apps and games. Cellular data and Wi-Fi are two major reasons why your iPhone loses a lot of battery stamina.
That’s why it’s smart to turn off background data for apps you don’t care about. Unless you have a huge following, you can prevent Facebook and Instagram from updating themselves in the background.
iPhone battery saving tip: turn off background data
Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
Then tap General and navigate to Background App Refresh.
Here you can tap the background app refresh option to choose your settings. Choose the Off option.
If you choose the apps you want to update over Wi-Fi, you can go back to the previous menu and tap the toggle switch for the individual app.
