Checkmate Tricks (@CheckmateTricks) shared with his followers how to significantly increase their device’s battery life.
“Here’s another iPhone trick I guarantee you didn’t know about,” the video’s narrator says at the beginning of the clip.
First, he headed into this iPhone Settings app, which is displayed as a gear icon.
Then, he scrolled down and select Background App Refresh, and made sure that it was toggled to Off.
Once he did that, he headed over to General Settings and then Accessibility.
From there, he tapped on Motion and then toggled on Reduced Motion.
This tool reduces the motion of the user interface, including the parallax effect of icons.
He then proceeded to toggle off Auto-Play Video Previews and Limit Frame Rate.
