Hidden Smartphone Tricks You Probably Didn’t Know You Could Use

A low battery at the wrong time can ruin your day — but you can easily stretch your charge without changing how you use your phone.

Try these tips:

    • Turn on Low Power Mode (iPhone) or Battery Saver (Android) to limit background activity.
    • Reduce screen brightness or use Auto-Brightness so the display adjusts to lighting conditions.
  • Disable unnecessary background app refresh and auto-sync options.
  • Close or uninstall apps you rarely use, especially energy-hungry ones like video or social media platforms.

These adjustments can add several extra hours of battery life every day — and help your battery stay healthy longer.
