iOS 13.1 beta or the latest iOS 13.1.2 on your compatible iPhones to enjoy its
various features of the latest software update. Apple has brought many features
with this latest software update and checking & improving the battery of
the device is one of the prominent offerings in iOS 13. Now, this doesn’t mean
that installing iOS 13 will automatically improve the battery performance on
your iPhone. Beta version of iOS 13 will definitely drain the battery and if
you are using all the features carelessly then your battery is going to die
before the expectation. So here, we have enlisted some tips for you that will
help you to improve battery life of iPhone with iOS 13.
Important tips to improve iOS 13 battery issue on your iPhone
Before heading towards the tips, you
need to check what is causing battery issue or which apps are draining the
battery juice. So what you have to is, just navigate to the Settings, then
Battery and select last 24 hours of usage or last 10 days. Here, you can
analyze which apps and which settings are causing the device’s battery draining
sooner. So you need to amend some settings and force close some apps. You can
also check the health of the battery in iOS 13’s new feature. It will tell you
whether it is a battery that needs to be changed or not.
1. Turn off location services
Location and the increased brightness of the device drain the battery of the device so you need to keep an eye on these settings. You can turn it off after the use from Settings => Privacy => Location Services.
If you want location services to use
on some selected apps and don’t want to turn on and off every time you want to
use then you can allow the use of the services to those apps by allowing “while
using the app” and turn off for other apps. This will help you to save the
battery. Some apps use the location services in the background and drain your
battery quickly. So we would recommend you to use the location service when you
need for apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps, or any other and after the use,
turn the service off.
2. Use Automatic Dark Mode
Dark Mode is a new feature in iOS 13
and it is best for eyes while using the iPhone at night as well day. But Dark
Mode can also help you to save the battery of the device compared to light
mode. If you don’t know how to enable Dark Mode in iOS 13 then just open
Settings => Display & Brightness and select Dark Mode.
3. Turn off Background App Refresh
Background App Refresh can really
drain the juice of the battery. If you might have many apps installed on your
device and some of them are useful occasionally only. So disabling “background
app refresh” really helps to save battery life of the device.
You can disable it through the
General Settings => Background App Refresh and select off in the setting.
Now, disabling background app refresh doesn’t mean that you won’t receive
WhatsApp notifications and messenger apps. Don’t worry everything runs smoothly
even this setting is disabled.
4. Use Often Low Power Mode
Using low power mode will not harm
the functions of the apps on the phone and it will help to save the battery of
the device. Turning on this setting will also automatically disable background
app refresh and lower the brightness. Generally, you get a notification to turn
on the low power mode when battery percentages reach to 20% but you can use it
all day long.
In “Settings”, head over to “Battery” and turn on the “Low Power Mode”. You can also set the short cut of the setting in the control center for easy access.
5. Force Close Apps
We may have installed more than 20
various apps on the device and use some of them in a day. But just like others
you may not be closing the app you have used and that can drain the battery.
Although, slowly but definitely.
To for close the apps on the iPhone
with the home button, click the home button twice and you can close all the
recently used apps by swiping them up. If you have iPhone X and other iPhones
without home button then swipe up from the gesture bar then hold and close the
used apps by swiping them up.
6. Disable Raise to Wake
Raise to wake is an amazing feature
to check the notifications on the device quickly without pressing the power key
or anything. You just have to pick the phone and screen will turn on but this
will also consume the battery juice. Disabling this device will help to save
the battery.
To disable “Raise to wake” just navigate to Settings => Display & Brightness and turn off it by toggling off.
7. Allow Notifications from a Few Selected Apps
Whenever you install an app, you are
asked to allow permission to send notifications by the app. Well, allowing
every app to send you notification may drain the battery life. So we would
recommend you to allow notifications from selected apps only to improve and
save the battery life on iOS 13. In order to do so, head over to Settings =>
Notifications => and select any app that you want to allow notifications
such as WhatsApp, Facetime, Instagram, and other messaging and important
apps.
Final Words
So these are some significant
settings that you can amend in your iPhone with iOS 13 and improve the battery
life. If any of these settings won’t help you to save the battery then you can
“reset all settings” and always keep in mind that you have the latest iOS
version installed on the device.
To improve the life of the battery, you can enable “Optimized Battery Charging” on iOS 13. To enable it, Settings => Battery => Battery Health => and toggle on.
