One of the lesser-known battery-saving tricks is turning off your keyboard sounds or vibrations.

You may not think that these noises make a difference to your battery but they can negatively impact your charge if you’re texting a lot.

The route to turning these settings off can be different depending on what Android device you have.

To check your specific route you should visit your device manufacturer’s support site.

However, in general, you will need to find your keyboard settings section within the Settings app.

This may be under a section called Sounds & Haptics or Language and Input.

Once you’ve found your keyboard settings section you need to uncheck or swipe off a toggle.

You’re looking to turn off the sound setting for the keypress feature.

Once this is done, you may notice a difference in how your battery drains throughout the day.

If you miss your keyboard sounds you can easily turn them back on by following the same steps.

Other good battery-saving tips include turning down your screen brightness and turning on low power mode.

You should also be aware that phone batteries age over time and sometimes replacing the battery is the only solution.
