Q & A

Why is closing apps on iOS not recommended for saving battery life?

Closing apps on iOS is a myth for saving battery life. When you close an app, it requires more battery to reopen because the system has to reload and reinitialize the app, consuming additional resources. iOS manages apps efficiently in the background without draining battery.

What is the purpose of auto brightness on an iPhone?

Auto brightness automatically adjusts the screen brightness based on your environment, ensuring you don't waste battery power by keeping the brightness too high when it's not necessary.

How can enabling dark mode on iPhone help save battery?

Dark mode helps save battery life, especially on iPhones with OLED displays. OLED screens consume less power displaying dark pixels compared to bright ones, making dark mode a more energy-efficient option.

Can I automate the switch between light and dark mode on iOS?

Yes, you can automate the switch between light and dark mode on iOS by going to Settings, Display & Brightness, and enabling the 'Automatic' option. You can also customize the schedule for when dark mode activates.

How can I identify which apps are draining my battery on iOS?

You can check which apps are using the most battery by going to Settings, then Battery. There, you can see which apps have used the most background time and battery. This allows you to manage apps that consume excessive power.

What can I do to reduce background battery usage for specific apps?

To reduce background battery usage, go to Settings, General, and Background App Refresh. From there, you can turn off background activity for apps that don't need to refresh constantly, like YouTube.

What is 'Optimized Battery Charging' and how does it help?

Optimized Battery Charging helps prolong your iPhone’s battery life by reducing wear. It learns your charging routine and slows down charging once it reaches 80% to prevent overcharging, which is especially useful for maintaining battery health.

What’s the recommended charging percentage for optimizing iPhone battery health?

It is recommended to set your Optimized Battery Charging to stop at around 80-85%. This helps preserve battery health and prevents the battery from undergoing unnecessary strain.

How important is it to use quality chargers and cables for iPhone?

Using good-quality chargers and cables is crucial. Cheap or low-quality chargers can damage your iPhone’s battery or charge it inefficiently, leading to faster battery degradation.

Can these battery-saving tips help with other iOS versions beyond 18.5?

Yes, these battery-saving tips work on all iOS versions, not just 18.5. Regardless of the version, optimizing background app refresh, enabling auto brightness, using dark mode, and managing charging habits will help improve battery life.
