Is Your iPhone Always on the Verge of Dying? Here's How to Make its Battery Last Longer

Tip One: Siri, We Need a Break

Siri, although, helpful, drains a lot of your battery. It's not her fault, though, she's just trying to help us find the nearest café, gas station, and put our favorite tune on… So, instead of having her run 24/7, put her on hold for a bit.

To disable Siri:

Go to your Settings
Click on General
Select Siri and turn her off

Should you need her, hold down your lock button or, press down on your Home button (depending on the model of your iPhone)

Tip Two: Put Your Phone on Low Power Mode

By doing this, you'll be reducing your background syncing and dimming your visuals to save on battery life. The feature turns on automatically once your iPhone is at 20 percent, but if you know you have a meeting later, it's best to activate it manually.

How to activate Low Power Mode:

Go to Settings:
Select Battery and slide it on

Tip Three: Watch Those Apps

Be sure to turn off any app that you are not using. For example; if you, like us, like playing games, watch YouTube videos, and scroll through every meme on your social feeds, it would be wise to close them once you get to work. However, keep apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter (any app you consistently use) open, as launching apps takes a lot of data and battery life. Another important factor to remember is automatic app updates and refreshes – these not only require data but, cell power.

How to monitor your apps:

Go to Settings

Click on General
Select Background App Refresh
Disable the apps that you rarely use, or are happy to update only when you open them

Tip Four: Share Less

Share location lets your friends, family, colleagues, and your aunt Mona know where you are at the touch of a button in various messaging apps. Disable this to save a bit of juice.

How to turn Share Location:

Go to Settings
Select Privacy, Location, Services
Click on Share Location and turn it off

Ever noticed how your home screen always looks like a home screen, regardless of the angel that you view it in? This is due to a neat feature called Parallax. While useful, it does need a bit of power to run… so, turn it off, especially when you're at your desk.

How to turn off Parallax:

Go to Settings
Click on General
Select Accessibility and, click on "Reduce Motion"
