How To Improve Battery Life On IPhones Running IOS 11

Even though iOS 11 is the biggest update to Apple's mobile operating system in years, installing it bring with its own share of caveats - the biggest among them being reduced battery life. In the iPad, it does not matter that much as the tablet is powered by a massive battery. The first and most pertinent thing to do is to remove any rogue applications that might be wolfing down your iPhone's battery. Battery and you will see a neat list of apps that have used the most power in the last 24 hours and the last 2 days. See if there are any warning signs - if any app has been using way too much power than required. You can either limit the use of those power hungry applications or simply uninstall them and get rid of those pesky fellas. Another extremely important thing to do which has a profound impact on an iPhone's battery life is preventing the amount of apps running in the background. Background App Refresh is a feature found in iOS that automatically updates apps that you use most often in the background.

While this sounds just marvelous and wonderful, it's actually an incredible drain on your battery. Background App Refresh and either disable the feature entirely (this is what I do when I use an iPhone) or disable it for the apps you use less frequently. OS has many, many animations all over the place that looks very cool but are quite a drain on the battery. It also has a parallax effect which causes the wallpaper to move as you tilt the iPhone (again - a battery hog). Reduce Motion and turning on the feature. This may sound simple but do not forget to turn Wi-Fi, Cellular, Bluetooth and Location off after you are done using them - especially Location as GPS can be a huge drain on the iPhone's battery. System Services and turn off Location for services such as Diagnostics and Usage. Location-Based iAds, Popular Near Me and Settings Time Zone which are not required by most iPhone users. Do not worry, Location for these services can be safely turned off.
