Here’s a bonus tip, right off the bat.
The first thing you want to do to improve apple watch battery life is check your watch’s
battery health.
So from your Apple watch, head to settings, then battery, then battery health.
Here, you’ll find your battery’s maximum capacity.
Generally, anything over about 80% means your battery is still in good shape.
Also on this screen, ensure the optimized battery charging option is enabled, which
it should be by default.
Are you ready to get into 5 apple watch battery saving tips?
Then let’s go!
Hey friends, I’m Tasia Custode, and welcome back to my YouTube Channel where I share tech
tips, and app reviews.
Let’s jump right into where we left off and troubleshoot your apple watch battery
woes.
And I know I gave ya a bonus right off the top, but true to form, I’m gonna hit ya
with even more bonus tips at the end after we cruise through the first 5 tips for ya.
So, tip number one to improve apple watch battery life, and no it’s not going to be
‘just stop waking up your display so frequently.
Can’t you control yourself?!
Instead, tip number one is to ensure your watchOS is up to date.
You wouldn’t believe how this can help your battery.
Sometimes there are bugs in software releases that can wreak havoc on your battery life,
through no fault of your own.
So, updating to the latest version of watchOS can sometimes help your battery out.
There are a couple of ways to update or check that your watchOS is up to date.
First, from your Apple Watch, head to settings, then general, then software update.
Or, you can do this from your iPhone by heading to the watch app, then selecting general,
and then software update.
It’s really that easy.
Apple watch battery saving tip number 2: disable background app refresh.
Just like on iPhone, apple watch allows apps to update even when they aren’t open.
And warning before we continue: if you disable background app refresh, some apple watch fitness
data won’t be synced with your iPhone automatically.
But, lucky for you, you can pick and choose the apps you want to refresh in the background.
Head to the watch app on iPhone, and select general, then background app refresh.
From here, simply disable any apps you don’t want to refresh in the background.
Tip number 3 to help your battery life is to enable a sleep schedule.
So this is a feature I’ve been using on my iPhone for a couple of years now.
And initially, I enabled a sleep schedule simply to get some peace and quiet when I’m
sleeping.
Because when you enable a sleep schedule, sleep focus (which used to be part of do not
disturb mode) is automatically enabled for your desired times.
And what happens on one device, happens on the other device.
Meaning major battery saving tip!
You can enable a sleep schedule from your health app on your iPhone.
Simply scroll down to select sleep.
Here is where you’ll see any sleep schedules you have already setup, or you can add a sleep
schedule under full schedule and options.
So I’ll tap on options here to show you that sleep focus is auto-enabled with this
sleep schedule.
So here, I’ve also got the sleep screen option auto-enabled.
So, notifications are snoozed, and the screen will go to sleep as soundly as you.

Ok moving on to apple watch battery tip number 4: adjust siri settings.
Now, this doesn’t mean you have to turn siri completely off - though you could do
that too, no offense girl.
So, to tweak or fully disable siri on apple watch, you can head to the watch app on iPhone
or the settings section from your apple watch.
From here, select Siri.
Here, you can either disable everything, or pick and choose which options you want to
disable.
I’d recommend starting with the raise to speak feature, since I find that a little
glitchy anyway.
Or if you don’t use siri all that much, disable the listen for the wake word option
too.
And last but not least - well besides the bonus tips at the end - tip number 5 for how
to improve apple watch battery life is to disable unnecessary notifications.
Yes, you know all the notifications you get during a day that you really don’t need?
Turn em off!
From the watch app on iPhone, head to notifications.
From here, scroll down to the mirror iphone alerts from section and disable any apps that
you don’t need notifications from on your apple watch.
Remember, this is just stopping the notifications on your apple watch, not on your iPhone.
And as promised, here are two bonus tips comin in hot!
Bonus tip number 1: disable the always-on display.
This is specifically for series 6 and higher models.
I happen to like the always-on display, but if you’re struggling with battery life issues,
head to the watch app on iPhone and select display and brightness, then tap always on.
Here, simply disable the feature.
You can also do this from your apple watch settings as well.
It’s also under the display and brightness option.
And bonus tip number 2 - and this is controversial - enable power sawing mode for workouts.
Now there’s a major caveat with this bonus tip.
Hence why it’s a bonus, hail mary attempt, and not a featured tip.
Enabling power saving mode will disable the heart rate sensor during certain workouts.
So while that will surely save your battery, it will not track calories burned.
If you still want to proceed - wow you must really be desperate - here’s how to enable
power saving mode.
Head to the watch app on iPhone.
Then select workout and from here enable power saving mode.
Could it get any easier than that?
So that’s how to improve apple watch battery life.
