How to turn on the Iphone power saving mode

Smartphone users know firsthand aboutthe problem of fast discharge of gadgets. Advanced devices have a huge number of functions and many users replace full-fledged computers. One of the main advantages of such gadgets is portability, but for this you have to pay by the presence of a battery, which, in turn, must be regularly charged.

Unfortunately, over time, the batteries do notbecome more efficient, and software increases "appetites". Manufacturers solve the problem in different ways: someone installs impressive size batteries, and someone tries to create energy-efficient chips that save from a fast discharge, but the best way is to implement restrictions on the functionality of devices.

What is the power saving mode in the iPhone?

Not so long ago, in 2015, Appleintroduced a new operating system - iOS 9. In addition to including a number of functional add-ons in the system, Apple took up optimization. It came to the point that Cupertino violated its principles and included in the system a specialized mode of energy saving in the iPhone 5 and newer devices. What is the essence of this regime? The fact is that in the iOS system there are always background processes, such as updating data inside applications, tracking geo-positions and much more. All these hidden operations load the processor and force it to consume more power.

Power Saving Mode in iPhone 5s and Othersmodels is a key that instantly disables all background processes, reduces the frequency of the processor and reduces the level of brightness. The phone is slower, many operations require more time to perform, and some functions are completely unavailable, but Apple promises that the total battery life will increase to three hours.

How does the phone affect the power saving mode?

Before you turn on the power saving mode, you need to find out exactly what features of the phone it will have:

• The background update and email download will stop - new emails will not arrive until the power saving mode is turned off.
• Siri will stop listening to the user - in other words, it will no longer be possible to call her with the phrase "Hi Siri".
• Updating programs in the background will stop - some services that from time to time unload data from the Web to provide the user with relevant information will stop doing this.
• Automatic download of songs, podcasts and automatic updating of applications will not be performed.

• Many visual effects and animation will be replaced with simplified versions.
• The frequency of the processor will decrease - the games will workslower and can slow down. The applications, saturated with graphics and beautiful animation, behave the same way. Even a banal call can run slower on older devices.
• The screen will be automatically locked every 30 seconds (even if this option is disabled in the settings).

How do I enable power saving on the iPhone?

The phone is set to power saving modeautomatically. As soon as the charge drops to 20%, the system will offer to start saving energy. The same notice will come again after the charge has dropped to a level of 10%.

You can switch the phone to this mode manually. To do this you need:

• open the "Settings";
• go to the submenu "Battery":
• Press the "Energy Saving Mode" toggle switch.

After that, the charge indicator will turn yellow and will show the amount of remaining charge in percent (even if the corresponding option was not turned on). The mode will be automatically turned off when the phone is charged.

How to enable power saving mode via Siri?

The Siri voice assistant is able to performset of tasks. Without touching the phone, users can make calls, turn on music and change system settings. Naturally, the power saving mode can be enabled via Siri. For this it is necessary to say: "Hi Siri, turn on the power saving mode". Siri does not understand other variations, but the phrase can be shortened to the name of the option.

How to enable power saving mode with 3D Touch?

On the new iPhone models that are equippeddisplay, recognizing the increased pressure, you can quickly switch to the battery settings, without losing the intricate menu. To do this, you need to click on the "Settings" application and select "Battery" among the labels.

How to enable iOS 11 power saver mode

Although the 11th version of iOS has not yet been released, nowis testing among ordinary users. They also discovered a new option for quickly switching on and off the power saving mode. If earlier you had to open the settings to manage this mode, now you can use the updated "Control Center" for this.

To add the appropriate label there, you need to:

• go to "Settings";
• select the "Control point" submenu:
• find the keys there for quick activation of the energy saving mode and transfer it to the main "hub";
• then just call "Control Point" (pulling it from the bottom of the display) and press the button with the battery icon.

Saving energy in older iPhone models

In iPhone 4, the power saving mode does not work (this device and earlier models do not support iOS 9 at all). To implement a similar effect, you must turn off all settings manually.

Prevent applications from being updated in the background. Use a smartphone with reduced screen brightness and reduced volume. In general, read the list of restrictions that can be included in iOS 9 and turn them on manually. Remove all programs that consume too much energy, you can find such programs in "Settings" - "Basic" - "Statistics" - "Using the battery" (probably in the forefront will be Facebook). Turn off Bluetooth if you do not use a wireless headset or plan to transfer files via AirDrop. In the AppStore there are applications that supposedly can check the status of the battery, as well as increase its working time, but do not count on them. Third-party programs do not have access to system settings, so they can not help.</ span </ p>
