With every new update, many are bound to complain about fast draining battery life, and iOS 16 is no exception. This is primarily due to doing things in the background of the system that we have nothing to do with, such as synchronization and indexing. Some of the reasons can be identified in This articleHowever, sometimes the battery drain issue can last longer. Whatever the reason, here are some suggestions for extending battery life in situations where you may need it, such as traveling and so on.
Notice It won't disable a lot of the key features, but you have to balance it, so you can turn features off and on as needed for longer battery life.
Turn off live activities
With the iOS 16.1 update, Apple added the Live Activities feature, which allows applications to receive a continuous and updated notification on the lock screen or in the interactive island of the iPhone 14 Pro.
Disabling the feature greatly improves battery life, and here's how to disable it:
◉ Open Settings.
◉ Go to Face ID & Passcode, and enter your passcode to unlock the iPhone.
◉ Scroll down and turn off live activities.
◉ You can disable the feature for each application separately, also through the settings.
◉ You can't completely disable the Interactive Island, but you can swipe left on any running animations to turn it off.
Did you know that the To My Prayer app is the first prayer app to use the live activities feature?
Delete lock screen widget
The widgets appear constantly on the lock screen and many of them are updated in the background, which means that they also consume battery power, and if you are at a time when you need a longer battery life, create a lock screen that does not contain any widgets, and you can put this widget again In a moment, because iOS 16 update supports multiple lock screens that you can switch between them easily.
The widget can also appear on your home screen, which is a pre-iOS 16 feature. We recommend not using it if you want more battery life.
Disable keyboard tactile feedback
In the iOS 16 update, Apple also added the haptic feedback feature when using the on-screen keyboard, and this undoubtedly consumes battery power.
Apple says in a support document that keyboard touches may affect battery life, and it's not on by default, but if you enable it, you can turn it off by following these steps:
◉ Open Settings.
◉ Click on Sounds & Haptics.
◉ Click on Keyboard Feedback.
◉ Then disable Haptic.
Turn off the permanent display (iPhone 14 Pro)
The Always On Display feature, introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, as the name suggests, leaves the screen always on and the wallpaper, widgets, and live activities remain visible on the lock screen even when the iPhone is off.
The screen uses a refresh rate of 1 Hz to preserve the battery, and Apple has smart tricks to turn off the screen when the Apple Watch is not around, indicating that the owner of the iPhone is out of place, or the iPhone is in the pocket, and despite all this, it remains The always-on display feature drains the battery from not having an always-on display.
To turn off Always On Display, do the following:
◉ Open Settings.
◉ Click on Display & Brightness.
◉ Turn off Always On display mode.
It's not clear how much battery life the always-on display consumes as it will vary from use case to use case, but even if it's only a small percentage, it's worth turning it off, if you need to.
Don't use iCloud Shared Photo Library
iCloud Shared Photo Library is a feature of iOS 16.1 that lets you use a photo library with five other people, so everyone can upload, edit, and delete photos. Using iCloud Shared Photo Library may sync photos from others and to your iPhone at inappropriate times, draining battery life.
Or you can turn on a setting that only allows syncing over Wi-Fi.
◉ Open Settings.
◉ Scroll down to the images.
◉ Tap Cellular Data.
◉ Turn off cellular data.
Uploads will be capped and limited to Wi-Fi, so photos shared with you won't download to your device when you only have a cellular connection.
Choose non-animated wallpapers
Some of the cool wallpapers that Apple added with iOS 16 are animated, and an animated wallpaper will drain your battery a bit more than a static one, so choose one that won't run all the time. The Weather wallpaper, for example, changes based on conditions, and the Photo Shuffle option toggles through selected photos during the day. The astronomy background also changes based on current conditions.
Thanks for the tips. It's been activated 💯💯
I also heard that in order to maintain the battery, you should not charge it to XNUMX% unless necessary. It is supposed to be between XNUMX-XNUMX, as I remember.. but it is less than XNUMX%.
It is observed in general with the update of XNUMX stability in system performance with a clear increase in battery consumption, which makes us in constant search for the possibility of reducing it. Thank you very much for the efforts made to deliver useful information to iPhone users
They must work out a solution
As such, what is the benefit of the iPhone?
I wish to share opinions with you, but I do not have a modern iPhone .. Everything you offer is beautiful, may God bless you
How do we delete the previous screen backgrounds, and thank you very much
The quality of the iPhone battery in the modern models is really great and outperforms the most powerful batteries in the most powerful Android devices, but the article talks about technical points if you want a longer life at certain times, such as traveling or otherwise, and you do not have a charger, for example.
Secondly, most of us complain about the iPhone battery and blame the company for being responsible, forgetting that most of our devices are old models of the iPhone.
Thirdly, because the iPhone is an expensive device, and it is truly wonderful and from a wonderful company, and for this reason we expect more and more from it in everything
What is the point of enjoying the device if you stop every feature offered by Apple? The solution is to improve the quality of the battery if they know that these features are used up!
I see that using the phone while it is on the charger leads to draining the battery
The matters mentioned by the respected brother, the author of the article, are very important to me. May your hands be at peace, my dear brother, and may God reward you with good, God willing.
May Allah reward you well 👍🏼
True, after the iOS 16.1 update for the iPhone 11 Pro, the battery has been improved, but it runs out within 4 to 5 hours.
Previously, it expires after 10 hours of use
God help us all in the air together 😂
What does the interactive island mean and how to stop the live activities of each application
Update 16 is a very good and somewhat stable update, but it has a very, very, very big problem in terms of battery. The battery does not last for me more than 4 hours!!!!!!!!
My phone is iPhone 8 Plus ((The battery was replaced by Apple less than a year ago))
The efforts made by Apple should not be stopped. The problem is due to Apple to solve a problem with the power of the battery to make the iPhone in line with the technologies
Gone are the days of complaining about the battery! for me!
If a blind or visually impaired iPhone user turns on the lights, this may drain battery life
