if you struggle with horrible battery
life on your iPhone keep watching
because today I'm going to show you 10
tips 10 settings that you can change
really quickly that will make the
battery off your iPhone lasts so much
longer let's Dive Right inside of
settings go inside of privacy and then
in location services now what we're
going to do in this video is basically
turn off all of those things that you
don't use if there's something that I
tell you that it's like hey I actually
used that well obviously don't turn it
off but for example in location services
be careful with the always for example
the app off screen right here is always
using my location so instead I'm going
to be like while I use the app sure you
can use my location and especially be
careful with the precise location
because as it says allows apps to use
your specific location with the setting
off apps can only determine an
approximate location so really be
careful if a lot of your apps are
actually using your precise location
keep in mind the always and the precise
location now here's the thing make sure
to turn off all of those apps if you
just don't want any location from for
example my bank why does my bank need to
know where my phone currently is at that
moment why does the airline fin air need
to know where my phone is in all moments
apps like happy cow or maps for example
yes that makes sense right because you
need that location but for all of those
other apps say goodbye to those here's
tip number two to make your battery last
so much longer do you know that dark
mode actually uses so much little
battery life compared to light mode now
if you I'm going to be honest I prefer
light mode more than dark mode but if
the battery of your iPhone really just
doesn't last well for those instances
make sure to turn on dark mode if you
don't actually have it in your control
center let me show you really quickly on
how to do that you basically go ins set
of settings tap on Control Center and
then look for dark mode over here so
then when you're in your home screen you
can basically just activate dark mode
just like that you can also activate
dark mode using Siri turn on dark
mode switching to dark mode and just
like that the Third tip that I wanted to
give you is make sure to know what's
actually consuming that battery life for
you so if you jump over settings and
then battery life if you scroll down
your iPhone will actually show you those
apps that are consuming the most battery
on your iPhone for example for me I
don't see any issues because my top apps
are Instagram Twitter and Tik Tok and
FaceTime and since this is my job I'm on
social media a lot so it makes sense
that these apps are consuming a lot of
battery life but one of my best friends
actually had an issue with his iPhone
and he didn't know what it is he took it
to the Apple Store and The Genius Bar
actually told him hey you've got this
app that is consuming so much battery
life and it was like the super random
app let's jump back to settings General
and then background app refresh these
are all the apps that are constantly
being refreshed always 24/7 there's a
lot of them that you probably don't want
for example I don't want Airbnb Amazon
Amazon music Apple Store like there's so
many that you can turn off because what
is the point on having so many just
running in the background some of them
you might want the appet you use the
most probably but the rest like Tik Tok
for example I don't want you refreshing
in the background and consuming so much
battery life and if you go up there's
actually this headden menu right here
background app refresh you can tap that
and you can actually turn all of that
off and if you actually turn it off your
battery will perform so much better or
you can tap on Wi-Fi which means usually
when you're home the apps will be
allowed to refresh here's a massive
battery saver if you go on mail then tap
on accounts and then tap on fetch new
data if you actually have push to turned
on it will be constantly be looking for
emails and as soon as you get an email
you'll get it now here's the thing if
you're a person that is driven by emails
that your work is really heavy on emails
sure you can keep it on but for most
people you might as well turn that off
so now whenever you open the email app
and you refresh the emails will actually
pop up but if not it will just not do it
you can actually fetch new emails hourly
or every 30 minutes or every 15 or
manually so here's the thing if you do
it manually even apple is telling you
this check it out the schedule below is
used when push is off or applications
which do not support push for better
battery life fetch less frequently so
that's the coolest thing if you want
massive improvements in battery life
make sure to turn it on manually so now
once again I actually swipe up I'll
actually be refreshing my emails instead
of doing it in the background all right
here's a different tip that will
actually blow your mind okay this is the
band case and this will actually improve
the battery off your iPhone so much it's
basically a case that will protect your
iPhone so much but you've got an action
button on your iPhone 15 Pro but you've
actually got the bang button and you can
program this bang button to the tab to
the double tap or to the hold so since
we're talking about battery if I
actually tap dark mode will actually
turn on or if I tap dark mode will be
turned on if I double tap I've got this
short short cut which I'll actually link
down below that it's basically a battery
saver so I can actually disable Ultra
battery saver mode or enable Ultra
battery saver mode so if I actually
double tap it will give me a couple
options including enable Ultra battery
saver mode now this is a shortcut which
I will also be linked Down Below in the
description which if you actually enable
battery saver mode it will actually Set
brightness to 4% turn low power mode on
turn Bluetooth off set media volume to
10 enable low power mode everything
enable fast charging so by simply doing
that airplane mode it does it everything
it's basically a massive battery saver
so if I'm like in a rush and I'm like oh
crap I've got 4% bettery life I simply
double tap and that's it and if I hold
on the bottom look what
happens I've got a home automation that
all the lights turn off Isn't that
cool there you go so yeah if you're
interested in the bank case you can
program it to so many different things
Chad gbt just double tap and Chad gbt
will pop up play music turn on lights do
battery automation the possibilities are
endless with what the band case can
actually do it's also extremely
protective links in the description B
case thank you so much for sponsoring
this video and for making such an
awesome case doesn't look cool as well
let's go back and go really quickly to
privacy and then go to the bottom where
analytics and improvements and over here
if you actually want to help Apple
improve their products you can make sure
to turn on everything improve hand
washing improve health and activity if
you don't want to help out apple and
you're like apple can help themselves I
don't want to help them if you actually
want to improve your battery life you
can go ahead and turn all of this off
this will actually turn off collection
on your Apple watch you can turn off
everything these aren't massive
improvements and if you want to go ahead
and help out Apple you can go ahead and
turn them on because every single one of
the tips that I'm telling you in this
video will add up the email wand is
massive and the last tip that I'll tell
you is also massive let's go back and go
to research sensor and usage data this
will basically be you helping Apple to
research data you can go ahead and turn
that off like this there's not that much
happening in the background as well so
let's go to Cellular this is actually a
pretty sensible topic tap on your phone
number right here and then tap on voice
and data so if you are on a city that
runs on 5G and is really good and you
really notice the difference you can
keep it on but do keep in mind that 5G
consumes your battery so incredibly much
and for most people if you're someone
that goes on social media and isn't
sending for example me 5G is extremely
useful because I actually send tons of
files for example to my editor and I
usually do that on 5G whenever I'm
traveling is really useful but if you're
just on social media and maybe you sent
a couple emails or iMessages and
messages here and there you just run on
5G sure the iPhone 15 pro and pro Max do
have 5G and iPhone 14 and it's all
really good and pretty but it does
consume a lot of battery life so if you
want to improve your battery life make
sure to run on 4G if not I personally
love 5G so I'm going to keep it on what
I like about this toggle right here the
5G Auto is that it will actually know
when it's time to use 5G and when it's
not and there's a lot of people that
actually have this turned on always use
5G and I highly do not recommend using
this make sure to turn that off if you
do have it because this will really
consume your battery life even Apple
says it right here this may impact
battery life and reliability of voice
and data connection turn it off here's a
massive one as well we're going to go
back really quickly to sounds and
haptics and go to the bottom where it
says keyboard and feedback there you go
sound you can turn it off if you like
having sound this sound effect you can
go ahead and keep it on it does consume
a lot of battery life but this is the
one that's really going to consume your
battery life the haptic feedback a lot
of people love having it on I also do
love having it on because it's so
satisfying to type on your iPhone and
and feel those vibrations it's something
that Android phones do really well you
can actually turn this on if you didn't
know it you can turn it on but if you
actually do want to save battery life
you can go ahead and turn it on here's
another one display and brightness and
here's a couple things that we can touch
one autolock autolock will turn your
iPhone after this period of time so my
recommendation to you is make sure to
have it at the minimum time possible
after 30 seconds your iPhone will start
dimming and then it will lock itself but
keep in mind F attention is detected
when you are looking at the screen when
attention is detected iPhone does not
dim the display so if you're actually
looking at the screen after 30 seconds
it will not dim itself obviously if
you're watching a YouTube video that's
like 10 minutes long after 30 seconds it
won't turn off don't worry if you're not
using the iPhone after 30 seconds it
will turn off so my recommendation to
you is make sure to just addit it after
30 seconds and if you've got the iPhone
14 or above always on display so as you
can see right here if I actually turn
off my iPhone I still get the time I
still get some complications and I still
see my wallpaper but if you actually
want to save battery life here's what I
can tell you one you can just turn it
off automatically so if I actually turn
off my iPhone it will turn it off fully
but here's the thing I personally love
the always on display so one tip that I
can give you is if you want to save
battery life and you still want the
always on display so you can see right
now I have it set that I just see the
time and my complications I don't see
the wallpaper now and if I tap it will
if you found these tips useful make sure
to subscribe and I'll see you in the
next one bye-bye
