13 reasons why the iPhone is quickly discharged

Location services

Many applications use location data and even when working in the background. It's one thing when it comes to maps or navigation, and quite another when GPS-module smartphone use entertainment applications and games that can easily do without it.

Turn off geolocation for unnecessary applications, and at the same time to preserve the battery charge can be geolocation settings. Open the "Settings» → «Privacy» → «Location Services" and check what applications really need to use the location data in the background, and which can and does ban access to GPS. And do not forget to look at the item "System Services" at the bottom of the list: there are a lot of options like advertising that you can safely disable.

Background updating application data

The same is true for the background download feature in your applications. Internet slow days are long behind us, so it is worth considering if you are so important the few seconds it took to download Twitter tape or fresh production of the podcast?

To turn off background updating unnecessary applications, go to "Settings» → «Basic» → «Content Updates", check and disable the tumblers of all programs that do not need it.

Force Quit Applications

The widespread opinion that the forced termination of application multitasking menu helps conserve battery power is fundamentally wrong. In fact, the opposite is true.

When you upload an application from the memory, the next time it is accessed the system has completely restarted it, consuming CPU resources and hence battery power. Therefore, it is not necessary to manually close apps in multitasking menu - it is not only useless but also harmful.

Download new mail

Not everyone and not always need constant checking email, iPhone eats up precious battery power. And even if so, instantaneous loading of a need for some kind of box, for other suitable checking manually or sampled at specified intervals.

Change the frequency of sampling the new the email-message can be, oddly enough not in the settings of mail and options accounts. Open the "Settings» → «Accounts and passwords» → «Load data" and set "non-urgent" boxes The "sample", and then enter the following time interval after which new messages should be checked at the server.

notice

The same applies to notifications. Almost any when you first start the application requests permission to send notifications, but only a small part really needs it. Due to the endless stream of notifications of the screen is turned on and the application is constantly associated with their servers using a cellular data or Wi-Fi. All this affects the autonomy of the iPhone is not for the better side.

Go to "Settings» → «alert» and turn off the display of the notification to all applications other than messengers, social networks and other programs that are important to you.

cellular

Weak signal network also causes an increased discharge of the battery. When the 3G or LTE iPhone poor coverage will constantly try to establish a connection, wasted spending power.

To avoid this, try to disable the transmission of data over the cellular network when you are outside the coverage area or steady switch from LTE to 3G or 3G to 2G. This can be done in the "Settings» → «Cellular».

Automatic content downloads

If you have a iPhone in addition there are other iOS-device, thanks to the automatic download function on them will be immediately downloaded all purchased apps, music and books. It is useful, but active use can cause significant discharge of the battery.

Disable automatic downloads completely or only selected types of content can be in the "Settings» → iTunes Store and App Store. Another option - allow downloading only Wi-Fi, turning off the switch "Mobile data".

The high brightness of the screen

In most cases, Auto-Brightness is working correctly, and saves battery power by automatically adjusting to lighting conditions. However, some users prefer to keep the brightness at minimum and independently adjust it to the desired level. Thus, even greater savings can be achieved.

On iOS, 11 switch off Auto Brightness is not in its usual place in the section "The screen and the brightness", and in the Universal Access preferences. To get to it you need to go to "Settings» → «Basic» → «Accessibility» → «Adaptation of the display."

The application failed

It often happens that some of the applications may be due to a failure to operate properly, thereby causing an increased discharge of the battery. Restore the work in this case, you can force a reboot iPhone.

It can perform at the same time holding the lock button and press the "Home" on the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus and earlier devices or the lock button and the Volume Down key on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. On iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus you need to quickly press the volume up key, then quickly press and release the Volume Down key, and then press and hold the lock button.

Depreciation battery

It may be that the problems caused by the rapid discharge of the battery wear. Lithium-polymer batteries Apple kept about 500 cycles without appreciable loss of original capacity, then it starts to decline, and the smartphone is already worse than holding a charge.

Check for wear battery, you can use special tools. For macOS most convenient to use the free Coconut BatteryShowing information on iOS-device battery when connected to the Mac. On Windows, the number of cycles show iBackupBot. If the cycles exceeded far beyond the 500 - it's time to contact the service center to replace the battery.

backlight settings

The longer the backlight remains active, the device discharges faster. If you did not configure it so that it did not work in vain, do it.

Open the menu «Settings» → «Display and brightness." Select "Auto-Lock" and set the minimum value for him to turn off lights as early as possible on their own, if you forget to lock the screen manually.

Also, turn off the option "Raising activation", if it is available on your device. The backlight turns on automatically stops when you take the machine in hand, and as a result will be less likely to work unnecessarily.

Excess or poor optimization applications

Each installed application - a consumer of energy. And if the developer does not optimize the code or make a mistake, it can consume much more battery resources than necessary.

Check on your device a list of programs and remove those that you do not need or are too wasteful. If you can not do without one of these applications, try to replace it with an analogue of the App Store - possible alternative will be more friendly to the battery.

View the list of installed programs sorted according to the volume of energy consumption in the section «Settings» → «Battery» → «Using a Battery".

dynamic wallpaper

On iOS, you can use animated wallpaper. They show beautiful effects on your desktop, but at the same time consume additional battery power. If you do, every minute without recharging, install only static wallpaper.
