- Manage your brightness
One of the biggest reasons for battery drain is the brightness. Make sure to lower your brightness when not needed or use the auto-brightness option to adjust your screen’s brightness according to your surroundings. - Turn off location services
If you don’t know, location services can also drain your battery. So, when you don’t need it, turn off the location services for apps that you don’t use often. - Low power mode
Keep your iPhone in low power mode to improve battery health. Users can enable low power mode when the battery level drops below 20 percent. You can turn on low power mode by going to your phone’s settings and then to the battery. - Limit background app
Apps running in the background can drain your battery without you even realizing it. Consider limiting background app refresh by going to Settings, then clicking on General, then going to Background App Refresh. - Right charger
It’s important to use the charger that came with your iPhone or a certified third-party charger. Using a cheap or uncertified charger can damage your battery and reduce its overall lifespan.
