Why Does My iPhone Battery Die So Fast? An Apple Tech’s 14 iPhone Battery Drain Fixes!

( upbeat music) – Hi guys, David and Davidhere from payetteforward.com, and in this video we’re going to explain why your iPhone battery dies so quickly, and then recommend 14 iPhonebattery life saving tips-off. – Now I used to work in an Apple Store, and people would come in allthe time with this problem. 99% of the time, this problem is caused by the iPhone software. There’s nothing wrongwith the physical artillery inside your iPhone, so we would ever runthese artillery checks, they’d come back positivethat the artillery was okay, and then I’d show themhow to do these gratuities, and beings would leave and they’d have considerably better battery life. So that’s what we’re gonnashow you how to do today. Our first battery saving tip-off is? – Is push mail. Turn pushmail from push to retrieve. – So with push forward, your iPhone maintains a constant connectionto your email server.And your iPhone is alwaysasking that server, Is there forward? Is there mail? Is there mail? Is there mail? So, instead of having that happen, we can change your iPhonefrom push to deliver. That style we decide howoften your iPhone checks to see if there’s newmail or other revises. – Sure, so how do we do that? Well first let’s open up theSettings app on your iPhone, scroll down to Accounts& Passwords, tap Fetch New Data. First thing we’ll do hereis turn off the swap next to Push at the top of the screen. – Mh. Now how often should wefetch new data on your iPhone? And the answer is up to you. But generally every 15 hours is what I elect. -[ David] Yes. – Because instead of youriPhone constantly asking the server is there new mail? We tell the iPhone justcheck every 15 times. – Yep. – And that’s frequent fairly for me. – And then you can alwaysjust open up your Mail app, and then the mail willautomatically fetch.- Exactly.- Anytime you open it. – Yep. – So I’ll sound every 15 instants, that small-scale check mark will appear, and now you switched yourmail from push to fetch. – Mh. – Well done. – So let’s go back to the mainSettings menu on your iPhone, back to Reports, back to Locateds. And our next iPhonebattery life saving tip-off is, we’re gonna take a lookat Location Business. Now Location Servicesare one of the things that forms the iPhone sogreat to use. It’s the GPS. It allows your iPhone to know where it is in the physical world. So, I’m not saying thatyou should turn off Location Assistance solely, because that would just be a drag. Instead, we’re going toidentify the Location Services that are using battery in thebackground of your iPhone, and apps that don’t needto have Location Assistance turned on.So- – Perfect. -[ David] On the Settings app we’re gonna scroll down to Privacy. -[ David] Privacy. -[ David] And then we’regonna tap Location Business. -[ David] Okay. – Now as I said you canturn off Location Business at the top, I don’t recommend doing that. Instead, I crave you to lookthrough this list of apps, and mark which onesneed to know where you are. Ask yourself for each app, does this app need to know where I am? If the answer is no, turnoff Location Service for that app. – Well I know for surethat Apple Watch Faces app is not supposed to know my point, so I sounded on it, andI’m going to tap Never, that blue check mark will appear, and now Location Service not on for the Apple Watch Faces app.- Mh. So in the left hand sideof Location Work adjusts that you have selected for each app, you’ll assure these little arrows sometimes. So let’s take a look at the roll of arrows at the lower end of the screen now. And we’ll start at the bottom one. A gray-headed arrow means that thisapp has applied your spot within the last 24 hours. And remember that that’sgonna drain your battery life. So be aware of those apps. The second one from thebottom is a purple arrow, and that meant that that app is using your point right now. So be careful of those appsespecially if you see that. And then there’s the hollow violet arrow, and that indicates geo-fencing. Geo-fencing is one of thoseLocation Business features that lets your iPhoneknow when it has entered or when it has left a certain location. So you can say, “Hey iPhoneremind me to pick up groceries when I leave work today.” And so your iPhone is going tokeep track of where you are, and where you work, andas soon as you leave, it’s gonna remind you to go buy groceries.The problem with that isfor the piece to work, your iPhone has to constantly be moving your point at work. And so, this type of LocationServices, this geo-fencing, is the number oneoffender in my own experience of iPhone battery exhaustion. So if you can, I recommendjust not using this feature. So the last plaza we need to look in this part of the Settingsapp, is under System Assistance. -[ David] I’ll go ahead and sounds on that. – Mh. So now we have a list ofLocation Business that affect the operating system of your iPhone. For instance, CompassCalibration, Emergency SOS, and then there are somenefarious ones now like Location-Based Apple Ads, Location-Based Suggestionsfor apps, Setting Times Zone, if you’re not travelingthrough different era zones, you don’t need to have this on. So I recommend going through this list turn off pretty much every one. – Yeah, I’m gonna turnoff Cell Network Search, Compass Calibration, I willleave on Emergency SOS actually in case you need that.-[ David] Yap. -[ David] Find My iPhonedefinitely leaving that on in case you lose it. -[ David] Mh. – HomeKit, I don’t need that. – Location-Based Alertsthose are the things when you’re gonna leavework it’ll alert you. Now, a great deal of peoplewill question, does this mean my iPhone will not connectto cell phone networks? It will still manipulate. – Great, so Apple Ads turn that on off, Location-Based Suggestions off, Motion Calibration& Distance, I convey, unless you’re usingyour iPhone as a pedometer you probably don’t need that one. -[ David] Mh. – Setting Time Zone I’m not journey. Share My Location, definitelydon’t want that one. Wi-Fi Calling I will leave on. -[ David] Mh. – Because I use the Wi-FiCalling and Wi-Fi Networking, I’ll turn that one off. – Mh. Now another residence wherebattery exhaust is hiding, is in Significant Locations, which used to be calledFrequent Spot. So simply sounds on that. -[ David] Face ID affirmation. – So your iPhone has thecapability of moving you everywhere you go, that’s fun.So let’s take a look at your schedule now. – Lot of New York ones, Iactually precisely went on a trip upstate a little bit recently, and I got a lot of locations now. -[ David] Right, but who needs it? – Not me. – Yeah, we don’t need tokeep track of our locations. Let’s turn off SignificantLocations wholly. -[ David] Tap the button , now it’s off, those orientations are gone.- Right, back to System Service. So here are the bottom of the menu, we read Product Improvement. This is gonna send data from your iPhone to Apple makes, wedon’t need to be doing this. So let’s just turn off iPhoneAnalytics, Popular Near Me, Routing& Traffic, Improve Maps. That’s their activity to figure that material out. We don’t have to waste ourbattery telling them that stuff. So that pretty much wrapsup the Location Services. – That wraps up Location, it’s a long step but it’s really great foryour iPhone’s artillery. – Mh. Let’s go back to the mainPrivacy menu on your iPhone for the next tip. So, we’re in Privacy now, andscroll down to the bottom, and you’ll insure Analytics. Tap on that, and thenShare iPhone Analytics.This means that your iPhoneis occasionally going to send data about the lane thatyou use your iPhone, to Apple and other app makes, so that they can develop specifies , not something youriPhone needs to be doing in the background, becauseit’s doing additional stuff, it’s draining your battery life. So let’s just go ahead and turn that off. -[ David] Off. -[ David] Yap, iCloudAnalytics, let’s turn that off. And then all of theseother ones if you see it- – Turn it off. – Turn it off, it’s gonnasave your battery life. So our next iPhonebattery life saving tip, is close out your apps. Now this is kind of a controversial topic, a lot of people say it makes a difference, a lot of people say itdoesn’t make a difference. As an Apple tech with event working with hundreds of iPhones, I can tell you definitively that this does make a difference.And the reason why i, thatsometimes apps don’t work the highway that they’re supposed to. Apps are not perfect, theApp Store is not perfect, makes are not perfect. So, what this does, is itprevents those problems from happening. – So firstly we need to open theapp switcher on your iPhone, then close out of the apps. So to open the app switcher, iPhone eight or earlier, double press the Home Button, iPhone 10 swipe up fromthe bottom of the screen, pause in the center, so now we’re in the app switcher. iPhone eight or earlier, swipe’ em off the top of the screen. – Yap. – iPhone 10 same thing wehave to press and impound first until this little redminus button show up, and then swipe’ em up andoff the top of the screen. – You might have 40 apps open. This is going to saveyour iPhone battery life, in spite of what otherpeople say, it wields. – Totally. Our fifth iPhonebattery life saving gratuity, is to turn off the notificationsthat you don’t need.So notifications are those little pop-ups that appear on youriPhone from time to time. Now notifications can sometimesbe good, like text letters, we wanna find out when peopleare sending us text words, we’ll leave notifications on for that. However, there are otherapps that may be alerting you and they don’t need to be. For notifications to work however, that app needs to berunning in the background of your iPhone, time to pay attention to whether it needs to alerting you, so by turning off notifications for apps that don’t need to alertyou from time to time, you’re gonna save battery life.-[ David] So go to the Settings app, scroll down and tap on Notifications. – Now, take a look throughyour list of apps now, ask yourself, does this appneed to be able to notify me when something happening on my iPhone? Do I need a pop-up alert? If the answer is no, turn offnotifications for that app. So let’s go ahead andtake a look through yours. -[ David] Alright, let’s see, I don’t need any notifications from the Mr.Time app.- Yap, so when you open this menu, precisely turn off AllowNotifications at the top. There are ways tocustomize the notifications that you get in your iPhone, but it’s easier really to turn’ em all off. So really pate back to Notifications in the upper left handcorner of the screen, take a look through thislist, switch off notifications for apps that don’t need tonotify you from time to time. So what’s our next iPhonebattery life saving gratuity? – Next we’re gonna turnoff widgets you don’t need.

It’s a little tiny computerthat you carry around in your pocket. If you were to leave a computer on, it’s plugged into the wall forever, it would slow down eventually. It’s important to turn off your computer, and turn it on every once in a while, same thing vanishes for your iPhone.

And that uses your battery life. So let’s psyche to the Settings app, and then to General, and then down to BackgroundApp Refresh tap on that, and now ask yourself which of these apps need to be able to download new content in the background of my iPhonewhen I’m not using them. -[ David] A slew of’ em for me candidly.
