How to Use Battery Life Suggestions for Better Battery Life
-
Open Settings.
-
Tap Battery.
-
Under Battery Life Suggestions, you’ll see a small list of settings that you can change for better battery life.
-
When you click on an item in the list, it will take you directly to the setting so you can change it.
-
Not all the settings your iPhone suggests will be something you’ll want to change; it will depend on how you use your iPhone.
-
For example, my iPhone is telling me to Reduce Brightness. But my screen really isn’t that bright and that’s not a change worth making for me.
-
If you don’t see any suggestions in Battery, that just means your iPhone can’t find anything to change for better battery life.
Of course, these suggestions aren’t the only things you can do for better battery life. We recently updated our battery life tips article for iOS 11; check that out for more ways to save battery life.
