News India Live, Digital Desk: iPhone is known for its great performance and great features, but it has a problem which troubles almost every user – Battery draining quickly. We often think that perhaps our phone has become old or the battery has worn out, but the real villain is someone else. There are some ‘secret’ or hidden settings hidden in your iPhone itself, which keep running continuously in the background and sucking your battery like a vampire.
If you too are tired of charging your phone again and again, then there is no need to panic. Today we will tell you about those 3 hidden settings of iPhone, by turning off which you can increase your battery life to a great extent. These settings are on by default, and most users don’t even notice them.
Let’s find and turn off these battery-killer settings.
1. Background App Refresh
This is one of the biggest battery eating settings of iPhone. This feature allows your apps to update content in the background even if you are not using them. Like, Facebook or Instagram keeping refreshing your news feed in the background. This not only drains your battery but also wastes your mobile data unnecessarily.
How to close?
- Settings got into.
- General Tap on.
- Background App Refresh Click on.
- Here you can either do it completely ‘Off’ You can do this, or you can turn it off only for apps that don’t need to update in the background. It would be better if you turn it off completely.
2. Location Services – System Services
We all know how much battery GPS uses. We keep location on for apps like Google Maps or Uber, but do you know that your phone also keeps tracking your location in the background for many non-essential tasks? For example, for location-based advertising or analytics about your phone.
How to close?
- Settings got into.
- Privacy & Security Tap on.
- Location Services Click on.
- Now scroll to the bottom and System Services Tap on.
- Here you will see a long list. You can turn off almost all of these. especially ‘Significant Locations’, ‘iPhone Analytics’ And ‘Routing & Traffic’ Be sure to turn off settings like. Don’t worry, this will not affect your Google Maps.
3. Turn Off “Hey Siri” Command
Siri is certainly a useful voice assistant, but do you use it all the time? When the ‘Hey Siri’ feature is on, your iPhone is constantly listening for your voice, so it’ll activate as soon as you say “Hey Siri.” This constant listening process takes a toll on your battery.
How to close?
- Settings got into.
- Siri & Search Tap on.
- Here “Listen for ‘Hey Siri'” to the option toggle off Do it.
You can activate Siri by pressing the side button when needed, so there’s no need to keep this feature always on.
After turning off these three settings, you will feel that your iPhone’s battery lasts longer than ever. This small change can save you the trouble of finding a charger again and again.
