Saving battery on Android smartphones is becoming increasingly important in this era of intensive mobile device usage. While standard methods are widely known, we can adopt a new approach by disabling features we often don't even realize exist.

Disable Bluetooth functionality

Many devices have Google apps that constantly scan the environment for Bluetooth connections, unnecessarily draining the battery. To change this, go to your phone's settings, find the "Google" tab, and then "Nearby Sharing". Here, uncheck all options to significantly limit unnecessary Bluetooth usage.

Disable default printing services

Your phone may also be scanning its surroundings for printers. If you don't use your phone for printing every day, disable this option. In settings, type "print" and find the option related to printers. Disable the “default printing service” to save battery energy.

Manage notifications

Notifications are another battery drainer. In your phone's settings, type "notifications" and turn off those that aren't important to you. Keep only notifications from apps you truly use, which will significantly extend your single-charge usage time.

Implementing these minor changes not only saves battery power but also improves your smartphone's performance. Simply disabling features that we don't use daily can significantly impact the long-term use of the phone. Some of these options may seem insignificant in everyday use, but turning them off provides real benefits.
