Everyone wants their smartphone battery to last all day, but many users experience rapid battery drain even when the phone is not in heavy use. Experts point out that in many cases, two common settings running in the background are the main culprits.
1. Background App Refresh / Auto-Sync
Many smartphones automatically refresh apps in the background and sync emails, social media, or cloud services. While convenient, this constant activity consumes battery power continuously. Turning off background app refresh for apps you don’t use frequently can significantly reduce battery drain.
2. Location services / GPS Always On
Keeping GPS or location services active at all times allows apps to track your location continuously. This not only drains battery but also affects privacy. Switching to “While Using App” mode or turning off location services for apps that don’t need it can save a noticeable amount of battery.
Other Tips to Extend Battery Life
· Reduce screen brightness or enable adaptive brightness.
· Use battery saver modes during low usage hours.
· Limit push notifications from non-essential apps.
· Close unused apps running in the background.
By managing these key settings, smartphone users can extend their battery life day and night, reduce the need for frequent charging, and enjoy uninterrupted use.
Experts emphasize that small adjustments in settings can make a big difference in battery performance, especially for heavy smartphone users who rely on their device throughout the day.
