When the Low Power Mode alert appears on your iPhone, do you find yourself charging it continuously? You don’t want your phone to die on you when you’re using it for navigation on the road or in the midst of a discussion, even if phones lose battery life with time.
Even if the battery of your phone may not be able to retain the energy it did when it was brand new, there are ways to get more use out of each charge. You can make sure your iPhone battery can last when you need it most by turning off certain settings.
Additionally, you may monitor your Battery Health menu.
It will display your battery’s health percentage (80% or above is regarded as healthy), the number of cycles it has undergone, and if it is “normal.”
To help you save battery life, we’ll go over three iOS functions that drain your iPhone’s battery to differing degrees and demonstrate how to disable them. What you should know is as follows.
Disable the widgets on the lock screen of your iPhone.
Your applications are forced to run automatically in the background by all of the widgets on your lock screen, continuously retrieving data to refresh the information the widgets show, such as the weather or sports scores. Because your widgets are causing these programs to run continually in the background, it implies they
drain energy. Simply avoiding widgets on your lock screen (and home screen) is the easiest way to help save battery life on iOS 18. Changing to a different lock screen profile is the simplest method to do this: To choose a lock screen without any widgets, swipe around while holding down your finger on the one you now have.
Press down on your lock screen, choose Customize, select Lock Screen, touch the widget box, and then click the “—” button on each widget to delete them if you just want to remove the widgets from your current lock screen.
How to remove iOS 16 lock screen widgets
It is advisable to just change to a wallpaper without lock screen widgets if your battery is already low.
Reduce how your iPhone’s user interface moves.
There are several stylish and entertaining animations in your iPhone’s user interface. To just a few, there’s the smooth operation of opening and shutting applications and the splash of color that happens when you turn on Siri with Apple Intelligence. The slab of glass and metal in your palm comes to life thanks to these visual cues. Regretfully, they may also shorten the battery life of your phone.
The Reduce Motion feature may be used if you desire more subdued animations across iOS. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn on Reduce Motion to do this.
Although they are entertaining, visual trickery like the parallax effect may shorten battery life.
Turn off the vibration on your iPhone’s keypad.
Remarkably, the iPhone’s keyboard has never been able to vibrate as you write. This feature, known as “haptic feedback,” was introduced with iOS 16. Haptic feedback vibrates each key as you write, making the experience more engaging than just hearing click-clack noises. Apple claims that the same function may have an impact on battery life as well.

The keyboard’s haptic feedback “may affect the battery life of your iPhone,” according to this Apple support website. The keyboard feature’s energy consumption is not specified, so it’s advisable to leave it turned off if you want to save battery life.
Thankfully, it isn’t activated by default. To disable haptic feedback on your keyboard, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback and toggle off Haptic, if you have enabled it yourself.
