Your battery is draining too fast and you don’t know what to do? Here are some ways to extend phone battery life. Keep reading and you will learn how.
1. Store at room temperature
Keep your phone dry and cool. Extreme heat or cold can prematurely drain your battery and affect its overall stability.
When you are on the beach or pool, cover your phone to prevent direct sunlight.
2. Dim the screen
To extend battery life on your phone turn down the brightness at least half to help preserve battery life.
On an Android device, swipe down the control center from the top of your screen. To lower the brightness, use your finger and drag the line to the left.
On an iPhone or iPad, swipe down from the top right corner of your display — or on iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of your display — to access the Control Center. To lower the brightness, use your finger to drag the line between light and dark down or to the left, depending on your phone’s orientation.
3. Use power-saver mode
Devices running low on battery power will sometimes switch to a power-saving mode automatically. To instead handle it manually on your phone:
• On an Android phone, go to Settings | Battery. You can choose between Battery saver and Ultra battery saver. If your choice is Ultra battery saver, you can only make calls, write messages, and choose a couple of apps.
• On an iPhone, you can find this in Settings | Battery | Low Power Mode.
4. Update your operating system
With new updates, you receive newly improved things on your phone that can increase battery life. So when your phone offers you an update, my advice is to take that option.
