THERE’S an ultra easy way to prolong the battery life of your iPhone.
People are so used to swiftly exiting annoying pop ups online, that many accidentally make an anti-battery-saving mistake.
1
When your Apple iPhone is about to drop below 20% and 10% charge, an automatic pop up will arrive on your screen asking you whether you would like the device to enter Low Power Mode.
In Low Power Mode, your iPhone will put certain behind-the-scenes tasks, such as updating apps, on the backburner, in an effort to conserve power.
However, if you accidentally tap the Cancel button out of habit – fear not.
You can manually turn on Low Power Mode, not matter what level of charge your device is on.
It is particularly handy when you know your phone battery has got to last you a whole day without access to a power point or portable charger.
You can switch on Low Power Mode before the phone has even dipped below 75%.
Just head to Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode.
The battery icon will turn amber when you have successfully switched on the power-saving feature.
