If your phone barely lasts the day, a few settings changes can help a lot.
1. Check battery usage
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage to see which apps use the most power.
2. Lower screen brightness
Turn on adaptive brightness and shorten the screen timeout to 30 seconds.
3. Use dark mode
On phones with OLED screens, dark mode saves battery.
4. Restrict background apps
For heavy apps, open Settings > Apps > [app] > Battery and choose Restricted or Optimised.
5. Turn on battery saver
Battery Saver limits background activity when you need the phone to last longer.
6. Turn off unused features
Switch off Bluetooth, location and mobile hotspot when not needed.
7. Check battery health
If the phone is several years old, the battery may be worn. A replacement at an authorised service centre can bring back full-day battery life.
Tips
- Avoid leaving your phone in hot places like a car dashboard.
