What is up its Andy with MyTechMethods.com. In this video I will show you
how to save battery
on iOS 7
All of these tips do apply
to any iOS 7 device even if it's an iPhone or iPod
or an iPad, it all applies. The first tip is to end all the background running
apps before you go to bed. So once a day
just kill all those background apps. To do this all you have to do is is double
tap the home button
and swipe up on each app to end the background process
this will save battery when you're not using it. The next step is to enable
airplane mode when you're not using the network or the cellular data on your
device.
So normally when I go to bed I just swipe up see the control center I just
enable
airplane mode by tapping on the airplane icon and there you go. It shuts off all data
connections
and does save battery life tremendously. You also want to enable
auto brightness or just lower your brightness level overall on your device
so go to settings then go to wallpapers and brightness
and you can enable auto brightness if it's not already enabled also you can
just turn down your overall brightness there
using the scroll bar here. So I just always just leave it on
auto brightness and it will automatically adjust your brightness on your screen
your screen depending on if you are
outside in the bright on a bright sunny day or
inside in a dark room so just keep that auto brightness enabled and that will save battery
life
This may seem like a pretty obvious tip but when you aren't using Bluetooth or
airdrop
swipe up your control center and just disable those if you're not using
Bluetooth or airdrop or any of those features
just go ahead and turn them off. And if you're a beginner and you don't know about the
control center if
any of these icons are white that means they are turned on
so if it's white it's turned on. Obviously we want it disabled when we're not using it
so we'll just
tap it again to turn it off. Disable any unnecessary notifications
in your notification center. So go to Settings then Notification Center and
then
disable any of these that you do not need notifications for. All these apps
here
if you don't need notifications from a certain app
just go in here and tap it in and just disable
any of these features. You can choose to disable all of them or just certain ones
depending on which app it is so you can customize it to your liking
But yeah turn off notifications for unnecessary apps. Also disable any
unnecessary location services that are on. So in Settings
go to privacy and then location services
you can choose to turn location services on but only turn it on for certain
apps. As you can see here I disabled location services
for any app that does not need it. A lot of these apps don't need your location
information
so if it doesn't need it just go ahead and disable it for that app. That'll save
battery life for sure
And when you're still in this location services tab here
scroll all the way down to the bottom and if you tap on system services
disable these four or these three options here: diagnostics and usage,
location-based iAds, and popular near me. These three apps are basically
unnecessary for the majority of iPhone users so turn those off
Also you want to turn off frequent location so that's at the bottom of
system services
Turn that off. You don't really need that and it'll save battery life.
Another setting that you want to check is the limit ad tracking so under Settings
go back to privacy and at the very bottom you see
advertising tab. Tap on that and make sure that your limit ad tracking
is enabled. You want that green because you don't want, you want to limit the ad
tracking that
your iPhone is doing in the background. When that is enabled it will save your
battery life.
Now this next tip is optional. Not everybody has to do it but
if you want maximum battery life then yeah you should you should do this so
go into settings go to general go to about
scroll all the way to the bottom go to diagnostics and usage
and make sure that is the don't send is
checked. If you wanna send that stuff and be a good citizen
you can go ahead you can leave that on automatically send
but if you again if you want to maximize your battery life you can just change
that
make sure don't send is enabled so it's not sending
all your usage diagnostic data in the background. This next tip is for people out there
who don't want to use the parallax feature
of the new iOS 7 software so if you don't if you don't care about the 3d
effects on the background
and the transition effects for the app's closing and opening
go to Settings go to general accessibility
go down to reduce motion
when this is enabled it will reduce the amount of
parallax transitions and 3D effects that the iOS 7 software has so
if you don't really care about that go ahead and enable that. That will save battery life.
The next tip is to disable the background app refresh
so if you go into settings then general
and then tap on background app refresh you can disable it for all apps
or you can enable it and then enable certain apps
like I have here. So I turned off background app refresh for apps that I do not want to
update in the background while they're running in the background
I only have certain apps enabled that I want to update in the background so go
through this list
Disable any background app refresh for any of the apps that you
do not want to update in the background. That'll save battery life especially when you have
a lot of apps
open at the same time. You can also disable automatic updates by going into
settings
go down to the iTunes option iTunes and App Store option
Here you can disable automatic downloads and automatic updates
for music and apps and all that good stuff here so disable all that. Also you can disable
use cellular data so it doesn't use your
cell data to do automatic downloads
And the last tip for saving battery on iOS 7
is to change your spotlight search settings so go to settings
then go to general tap on spotlight search
and here you can disable spotlight search for any app that you want. You can
customize this list so
for example I don't need spotlight search to search through my podcasts or
my mail
or my messages down there. So customize this list. Any app that you do not need
spotlight search for
you can uncheck it and then spotlight search will not index that app
which will save battery life. So that is how to save battery life
on iOS 7. I hope you enjoyed the tips if you have any other tips that I didn't
