Turn Off These 3 iPhone Settings Now to Stop Battery from Draining

If your iPhone battery drains too quickly, you might be overlooking some critical settings that silently consume power. Experts reveal that three specific iPhone settings could be causing your battery to deplete faster than expected. Disabling them can significantly extend your phone’s battery life.

1. Push Notifications

Push notifications keep your apps constantly connected to the internet, checking for updates and messages. While this feature ensures you never miss important alerts, it also drains your battery. To conserve power, consider disabling push notifications or switching to a manual fetch setting.

How to disable push notifications:

  • Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts
  • Tap Fetch New Data
  • Select Fetch instead of Push

2. Background App Refresh

Background App Refresh allows apps to update in the background, ensuring you see the latest content the moment you open them. However, this feature significantly reduces battery life. Turning it off can help your iPhone last longer between charges.

How to disable Background App Refresh:

  • Go to Settings > General
  • Tap Background App Refresh
  • Choose Off or select Wi-Fi only to limit battery usage

3. Location Services

Your iPhone constantly tracks your location using GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular data. While this is useful for navigation and weather updates, many apps access location services unnecessarily, causing battery drain.

How to manage Location Services:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services
  • Review apps using location data
  • Turn off Location Services or set apps to While Using the App

By adjusting these three settings, you can extend your iPhone’s battery life without sacrificing essential functions. Small tweaks like these can make a significant difference, keeping your device running longer throughout the day.
