Things like auto-brightness and vibration consume the most battery
Turning off background apps and location makes a big difference
Uninstalling some power-hungry apps can make a big difference
Nowadays phones may have become smart, but the battery is not that smart. Every update, every app and every notification slowly drains the phone's battery. Especially when you are out, traveling or there is a power cut, battery drain becomes a big tension. And the most heartbreaking thing is that you left with 100% charge, but by afternoon the battery reaches 30%.
So if you too are living in battery saving mode every day, then these 5 simple but smart tricks can make your life a little easier. Read carefully - there are some tricks that you must have ignored till date.
Say Bye Bye to Auto Brightness
The auto-brightness feature may seem smart, but it makes the phone's screen too bright, which drains the battery faster. Set the brightness to low or mid and increase it only when needed.
Close apps that are active in the background
Many times we close the apps but they keep running in the background and keep consuming the battery. Go to Settings and check 'Battery Usage' and force stop the apps that are not needed. You can also restrict them from running in the background.
Do not keep location and Bluetooth always on
Does location remain on even after using Google Maps or Ola? Or does Bluetooth remain on even if no device is connected? Many apps turn on these options in the background as soon as they are active, after which we close the app, but location or Bluetooth remains on. Make it a habit to turn them off if not needed, it will give relief to the battery.
Turn off or reduce vibration
Vibration activates the motor with every notification, which increases battery consumption. Ringtones are enough, turn off or minimize frequent vibrations, especially the haptic feedback while typing.
Uninstall power-hungry apps
Some apps are battery killers, like Facebook, Snapchat or some games. If you use them less, use the Lite version or uninstall them. Facebook or Instagram can also be used from the browser. If you need them very urgently, you can restrict their background usage, so that they close from the background when you exit.
