How do I make my phone battery last longer?
Lower screen brightness, limit background activity and keep software up to date.
Battery life depends mostly on the screen, background activity and signal strength. A few settings changes can add hours.
Check your battery settings to see which apps use the most power.
Easy changes
Lower the screen brightness, use auto-brightness, turn on battery saver mode and shorten the screen timeout.
Limit background use
Restrict background refresh and location access for apps that do not need them, and turn off push notifications you do not need.
Protect the battery
Keep software updated, avoid extreme heat and cold, and try not to run the battery to zero often. If the battery drains quickly after a couple of years, it may need replacing.
