Why is my iPhone battery draining so fast

Battery life depends on several factors that may affect its lifespan. Optimizing iPhone settings is key to minimizing battery drain. Here are the steps which will immediately help to extend the life of your iPhone battery.

1. Adjust screen brightness or enable Auto-Brightness. The backlight used to illuminate the screen of your device screen consumes plenty of energy. You can minimize the power used by the backlight by navigating to Settings > Display & Brightness and dimming the screen.

   

   With iOS 13, you can use Dark Mode, which can also save your battery power. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > select Dark Mode.

   

   If you’d rather not change the brightness of your screen and don’t want to use Dark Mode, you can turn on Auto-brightness. This will optimize battery consumption by the backlight, allowing the iPhone to adjust the screen brightness based on the current ambient lighting. To enable the Auto-brightness mode, go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size, scroll down, then find the Auto-Brightness setting and turn it on by tapping the button.

   

2. Enable Optimized Battery Charging. Available with iOS 13 and later, Optimized Battery Charging learns from your daily behavior to reduce the time your iPhone spends fully charged. It helps the battery to keep 100% capacity for a longer time. Navigate to Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Optimized Battery Charging.

3. Turn off location services or minimize their use. iPhone automatically uses a built-in GPS antenna in addition to 3G and Wi-Fi data to accurately locate the device. Many applications use iPhone location services which ultimately hurts battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > OFF.

   

   If you do not wish to disable location services completely, turn them off for some apps by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.

   

4. Turn off push notifications and fetch new data less frequently, better still manually. Apple Push Notification service notifies you about what happens to your emails, notes, contacts, and other cloud data on the iPhone. Fetch is another method of checking for new data when Push is disabled. Push is generally more power-hungry than Fetch. Therefore, turn off Push and set Fetch to bring data less frequently or manually (e.g. upon request). Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data. Tap Fetch New Data, then tap the Push switch to turn it off.

   

   Warning: if you disable Push, you will not receive notifications on the spot (e.g. as soon as you receive an email). If you set Fetch to bring data manually, you will not receive notifications unless you manually open the respective app. For instance, you will only get notifications about new email messages upon launching the Mail app.

5. Force-quit apps. If you’re not using some apps, don’t forget to close them as they can drain battery life. To force-quit an app on your iPhone, swipe up from the gesture bar and hold. Find the app you want to quit and swipe up on it in the app switcher mode.

   

   If you’re using an older model: double press the Home button and swipe up on the app card to close it.

6. Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Unless you are using a Bluetooth accessory such as hands-free or wireless speakers, you can safely turn off Bluetooth by going to Settings > Bluetooth > OFF. This will slow down the battery drain. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi use the same antenna and receiver.

   

   If you are really low on battery power and don’t plan on using the Internet, turn off Wi-Fi by navigating to Settings > Wi-Fi > OFF.

   

7. Avoid poor- or no-reception areas. In low-coverage regions, the iPhone will use more power to maintain an operational cellular connection. Be mindful of the signal strength indicated on top of the iPhone screen.

   

   The fewer bars – the weaker the signal, and the more battery power required for the iPhone to stay connected. If you are not planning on using the iPhone for cellular calls when in low- or no-coverage areas, enable Airplane mode by going to Settings > Airplane Mode > ON.

   

   Warning: this will prevent the iPhone from accessing the cellular network.

8. Disable app-specific notifications. Most iOS apps can send notifications, speeding up battery drain. Turn off notifications for all non-essential apps by navigating to Settings > Notifications. Next, tap on an application from the list.

   

   Set the switch next to “Allow Notifications” to off.

   

9. Set Auto-Lock to 30 Seconds. This way, your iPhone will automatically go to standby mode when not used, which is essential to save battery life. Navigate to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and set the time interval to the minimum, which is 30 seconds.

   

Extra tips to make iPhone battery last longer:

• do not overcharge the battery or let it die, but try to keep the charge between 30% and 80%;

• use the iPhone in its prescribed operational temperature ranges which is between 0°C and 35°C (32°F to 95°F);

• store the iPhone in temperatures ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to 45°C (113°F);
