Simply Go Into The Settings App

Want to know how to maximise the battery life on your iPhone or iPadrunning iOS 8, Sometime ago we did an article on 11 ways to conserve your battery with iOS 7 . Those who were running iOS 7 I hope red that existing article and followed some of those steps. This article expands on things that you can do with iOS 8. If you are new to IOS or did not read the article here are the key things we covered. Want to know how to maximise the battery life on your iPhone or iPad, In this guide we'll share some advice to help keep your phone alive for as long as humanly possible. It's written with iOS 8 in mind, which adds new features to assess your battery usage. And some new fancy features that will guzzle your battery fast if left unchecked. First things first, you want to see what is killing your battery in the first place. OS 8 lets you assess your battery drain on an app-by-app basis so you can easily detect energy hogs. Simply go into the Settings app, choose 'General', tap 'Usage', and go into 'Battery Usage'.

From here you can see the time since last full charge and battery usage in the last day and week. If one app is taking up a lot of battery you may want to turn off that app's background refresh or notifications, or stop using it altogether. Background App Refresh, which was added in iOS 7, is a way for apps to get new data when not in use, so they're up to date as soon as you load them. It's a cool feature, but it can be a major battery drain. Either turn off individual apps that you don't need to update continually, or shut off the feature entirely. You can find it in 'General', 'Background App Refresh' in the Settings app. Think about the way you use each app. It takes a couple seconds to grab your latest tweets when you load up a Twitter client - do you need to continuously update your timeline when you're not using it, Location Services are another battery hog.

Open Settings, go to 'Privacy', and find 'Location Services'. Keep it on for apps where you want it to know your location. If you like to share your location when you Tweet, keep it on for Twitter. But if you never use IMDB's cinema show times feature, revoke its access to your location, here. Push notifications can also hurt your battery life. And like background app refresh and location services, you've probably got some turned on that you don't need. To tweak these settings open the Settings app and choose 'Notifications'. Now you'll see a list of every installed app that can send notifications. Go into apps that you don't care about and uncheck 'Allow Notifications'. You have more options when dealing with the default Mail app. Find 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' in Settings and tap on 'Fetch New Data'. Push email will send emails from the mail server to your iOS device as soon as they arrive, which can hurt your battery. You may wish it to turn this setting off and use a fetch schedule. This only looks for emails every 15 or 30 minutes, or every hour, or only when you go into the Mail app and refresh your inbox. Use whichever suits you best. A couple tips from ex-Apple Genius Bar staffer Scotty Loveless, who has got a huge and exhaustive guide to battery drain if you want even more information. First, stop manually closing all your apps. For starters, it's unnecessary: iOS is automatically juggling memory, putting apps in suspended animation, and killing unused memory hogs all by itself. But more importantly for this article, constantly having to load and unload apps from your phone's random access memory is bad for battery.

You'll also see that there are options to view screenshots of the game for iPhone and iPad. If you want more detail, check the Compatibility field: this is the eight entry in the Information section. Stellar Wanderer requires iOS 8.0 or later, and states again that it is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Some apps will specify particular models of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch in the Compatibility section, but confusingly others place this information under Description. NOTE: Compatible with iPad 3, iPad mini 2, iPhone 5 and up. If you're concerned about compatibility, check both sections for any restrictions or recommendations. Let's return to the iPhone-only app Undercroft; despite that description, we can run it on the iPad anyway. To get round this you could search for the app on your Mac and then sync to the iPad, but that's far too long-winded. Instead, just click the menu that's currently labelled 'iPad Only' and change it to iPhone Only. Once you've downloaded the iPhone-only app to your iPad, things are straightforward: simply tap the app icon to start the game.
