Q & A

Why do notifications drain iPhone battery?

Every time your iPhone receives a notification, it wakes up the screen, which uses a significant amount of battery. Disabling unnecessary notifications helps reduce battery drain.

How do I manage notifications on my iPhone?

To manage notifications, go to **Settings** > **Notifications**, and then turn off notifications for apps you don't need to be constantly notified about.

What is the difference between 'Automatic' and 'Every 30 minutes' for fetching email data?

'Automatic' fetches email data constantly, using more battery. Setting it to 'Every 30 minutes' or 'Every Hour' reduces how often your iPhone fetches new data, conserving battery life.

How does reducing email fetch frequency help save battery?

By reducing the frequency at which your iPhone fetches new email data, you limit the amount of power used for background tasks, thus saving battery.

What is the role of Location Services in battery consumption?

Location Services can drain battery if apps are constantly tracking your location. Switching from 'Always' to 'While Using the App' ensures that apps only use location services when open, saving battery.

How do I manage Location Services to reduce battery drain?

Go to **Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Location Services**, and for each app, switch the setting from 'Always' to 'While Using the App' or 'Never' if you don't need location services for that app.

Why should I limit Background App Refresh?

Background App Refresh allows apps to update content in the background, using up battery. By disabling it or limiting it to Wi-Fi only, you can conserve battery when not actively using those apps.

How can I reduce Background App Refresh usage on my iPhone?

Go to **Settings** > **General** > **Background App Refresh** and set it to 'Wi-Fi' or turn it off for apps you don't need updating in the background.

How does 5G impact battery life?

5G uses more battery power due to its higher speeds and greater energy requirements. Switching to '5G Auto' ensures your iPhone only uses 5G when necessary, saving battery.

What is the benefit of switching from 5G On to 5G Auto?

Switching from '5G On' to '5G Auto' allows your iPhone to use 5G only when it’s needed, saving battery when 5G is not required. This setting ensures better battery efficiency.
