hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I wanted to share with you a shortcut
that was sent to me by a friend who actually found this on reddit someone
made this really great shortcut to help us manage battery a little bit better so
let me slide over here I'm already in shortcuts and if we go down here on the
bottom you'll see there's battery manager so let me tap on the three
buttons here or three dots and you'll see it says made by you slash plastic
script so I'll link this in the description you can check it out on
their website they're always updating it but it's pretty extensive and I'll go
through what it does here in just a moment but let's hit done and if we
slide over to our widgets page this is the easiest way to actually manage it so
if we tap on battery manager we have four different options you'll see we
have activate deactivate fast charge and ultra-low power and what they do are all
a little bit different so the first thing is activate and deactivate are
pretty obvious now activate actually enables low-power mode turns off
Bluetooth and sets brightness to zero so you'll still have an internet connection
so we'll go ahead and hit activate makes a little noise there and it turns
everything down and tries to save you a little more power now of course you
can't see it unless you turn the brightness up a little bit but it should
save you a little bit more power throughout the day
if we tap on deactivate it resets everything and brings it back up to full
brightness but let's change that back down so we've got those two options now
the next one is for charging so maybe you need to charge on the go and you
need to get your phone charged up quickly well what this one will do is
will enable it here and it enables or disables a bunch of different settings
to help improve charge time and it does it for 30 minutes at a time so if you
need to use your phone you'll see maybe here it's in airplane mode so let me
turn the brightness up you'll see it's in low-power airplane mode and the idea
is to help you charge your phone faster because it won't be using as much as of
the processor so it may help you a little bit it's hard to say exactly how
much it will help but after 30 minutes it will prompt you if you want to
continue doing that and for how long and then you can just turn it back off so
again we'll go home go to the widget and we'll just
deactivate it and now there's one more within this widget or shortcut that is
ultra-low power now maybe you're out and about and you have no place to charge
and you need to get home to charge and you'll see it keeps trying to set up
cellular on my Apple watch for some reason even though I disabled that but
anyway it's trying to ultra-low power will actually enable airplane mode turn
off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and it sets brightness to zero and it's used in
those situations where you just need to kind of get that little extra bit out of
your phone until you can charge it and I think it's a pretty interesting shortcut
that you can use that may be useful for quite a few people especially if you're
in a pinch and you really need to get that extra bit of battery out of your
phone so that's really it for that shortcut now the other thing that thing
beeps popping in now the other thing is this wallpaper I chose this one because
you'll see a lot of it is black so if you have an OLED display if you've got
black pixels that means those pixels are turned off so you're not using power
there so any of the black areas behind the icons it's turned off if I go back
to the home screen here you'll see the same thing I've got all these
notifications for some reason I need to deal with that later but you'll see it's
all black so you're using less power and less power obviously means a longer
battery life so that's pretty helpful on the X, XS and XS Max so I'll link
that in the description below as well if you haven't subscribed already though
please subscribe and like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll
see you next time
