Having Battery Trouble with iOS 10? Check out these 7 tips for longer battery life.




Have you installed iOS 10 yet on your iPhone? Are you experiencing battery issues with your iPhone now that you have updated to iOS 10? well you shouldn't be, but if you are , then you landed on the right place! Here we have 7 tips for you to make your battery last longer.

 1.Use less

iOS 10 brings more features now and more people are taking advantage of these features by using their phones more. SO, by using more , You are essentially draining your battery at a faster rate. Here's a Pro tip. Use less or at least use as much as needed. Don't misuse your phone. This might seem very stupid at first but be sure to try if out. It really works!

2.Plug it in overnight

Now this might also seem as odd to you as many of you may have a charging schedule, but what if i told you that charging your phone overnight actually helps the battery more than you think. May people believe that charging a battery overnight will cause the battery to die out faster in the long run, However that is completely false. The fact here is that the lithium technology that is found in batteries of this generation actually benefit from overnight charging/charging for a longer period of time. SO be sure to let your phone charge and in the mean time do something productive or use another device if you really desperately need to do something.

3.Restart

A common and simple trick that might help you is to restart your iPhone or iPod running iOS 10. You can do the typical restart by turning off the device completely and then turning it back on again.

4.Follow the battery life advice in settings

This is a new feature which recently arrived in iOS 10. The device itself can monitor your activities and then give you suggestions on how to prolong your battery life by doing certain tasks. For example, turning down your brightness.
  • Go to settings > Battery > look for "Battery life suggestions"



5.Disable Background App refresh

This is essentially a really nice feature but in practice it tends to eat up your battery by allowing apps to do more activity in the background , Thus using more processor power.  However many users may worry at first about the performance of their phones to reduce, but don't worry, you wont even notice the difference.

  • Open Settings and go to general then choose "Background App Refresh" and turn the switch off.

6.Use Reduce Motion

Reducing the amounts of visual effects in iOS may offer a minor improvement in battery life .
  • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > ON
Note, by doing this the effects in iMessage will not work So only do this if you don't care about all those fancy animations and effects.

7.Disable Location Services You Don't need or use

 Location services and GPS can really eat up your battery as they are constantly running in the background and many apps use this quite regularly to check your current location. To disable this go to 
  • Settings > Privacy > Location Services
  • Adjust usage according to your usage.
This is a universally good advice for prolonging battery life on any phone and not just iOS 10.
