Make your phone’s battery last

Tired of your phone’s battery dying at the most inconvenient times? Try these tips to make your phone’s battery last longer.

1 LOWER SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

Go to ‘settings’, then ‘display’ and choose ‘brightness level’. Lower it to a level that works for you.

2 TURN OFF WI-FI, 3G, 4G, LTE, BLUETOOTH AND GPS

If you’re not using them turn them off. You’ll find them in ‘settings’. The GPS settings are called ‘location’.

3 SET A SHORTER SCREEN TIMEOUT

Go to ‘settings’ then ‘display’ and select ‘sleep’.

4 CLOSE APPLICATIONS

If they’re running in the background, they’ll use battery power even when you don’t use them.

5 GET A PORTABLE CHARGER

Charge your phone on the go with a powerbank.

6 USE BATTERY SAVER MODE

This helps you keep going on a low battery. The setting restricts mobile data until you charge your phone. Swipe down the status bar and click on the battery icon. Turn on ‘battery saver’.

7 DISABLE EVERYTHING YOU DON’T NEED

For example the vibrate function for notifications, switch off keyboard sounds and automatic syncing.
