As an iPhone owner, it's important to always check if our battery's performance is good. You can optimize it by turning off these three settings.
Is your iPhone battery life giving you a hard time? Don't worry since we got you on this struggle. There are three quick settings changes that can significantly enhance your device's battery performance.
According to The Sun, these will only take a few minutes of your time since they are easy to do.
Keep Your Software and Apps Up-to-Date
If Apple prompts you to update your apps or software, do so. It's helpful to enhance the functionality of your iPhone, not to mention that it also boosts its battery life.
To ensure you're running the latest software on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings.
- Select General.
- Tap on Software Update.
Additionally, it's essential to keep your apps current. Outdated third-party applications can strain your device's resources, leading to faster battery drain. Here's how to update them:
-
Update all your applications.
-
Verify that your third-party apps are also up to date.
By maintaining up-to-date software and applications, you can streamline your iPhone's performance and boost its battery life.
"Believe it or not, sometimes these third-party applications can overload the software, can overload the operating system, draining your battery a lot quicker. So, make sure you do those two things first," iDevice Help says on YouTube.
Change Your 5G Settings for Efficiency
The introduction of 5G connectivity has revolutionized mobile data, but it can also impact your iPhone's battery life. You can optimize your 5G settings as follows:
-
Go to Settings.
-
Select Mobile Service (Cell Data).
-
Tap on Mobile Data Options (Cell Data Options).
-
Choose Voice & Data.
-
Turn off the 5G Standalone.
Please note that not all iPhone models offer this setting, as it depends on your network carrier.
While enabling 5G for all mobile data activities can improve FaceTime call quality and browsing speed, Apple cautions that it "may impact battery life." Adjusting this setting can help you strike a balance between performance and battery preservation.

-
Select Sound & Haptics.
-

Sound & Haptics.
-
Keyboard Feedback.

Turn off the Haptic toggle.
By managing haptic feedback settings, you can fine-tune your iPhone's battery efficiency.
