Extend your iPhone battery life with these simple settings tweaks
Discover two simple ways to extend the battery life on iPhones. Remove widgets from the lock screen and disable keyboard vibrations to save energy and enjoy longer device usage.
Nowadays, smartphones are our daily companions, and a low battery level can cause panic and the need to find a place to charge your phone. It's worth knowing a few simple ways to extend battery life on iPhones. The technology-specialized portal benchmark.pl highlights two key changes in iOS 17.4 settings that can help save energy.
Remove widgets from the lock screen
Lock screen widgets are convenient but can drastically shorten battery life because apps run in the background to provide the latest information. To avoid this, it's best to completely forego lock screen widgets. Simply hold your finger on the lock screen, select a profile without widgets, or remove widgets by pressing "-" in the screen customization option.
Disable keyboard vibrations
Keyboard vibrations, known as "haptic feedback," were introduced in iOS 16. While they improve typing comfort, they can also negatively affect battery life. To disable them, go to Settings, select "Sounds & Haptics," then "Keyboard Feedback," and turn off "Haptic."
