18. TIP #1
TAME YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREENS

19. Is “Home and Lock
Screen” high on your
battery usage list?

20. This might be because
app notifications are
making your screen
light up when you’re
not using your phone.
Hey! You have a message!

21. It could also mean that you’re
leaving your iPhone’s screen on too
long after you stop using it.
Hello.
Nothing
happening here.
Why am I still on?
What are you
doing?

22. don’t worry.

problems are easy.

23. ADJUST LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATIONS
Every time you get a
notification, your
phone has to wake up
and light up the
screen
You have a notification!

all day long, your battery life
will suffer.

27. Either turn off all
notifications for
that app or turn off
“show on lock
screen.”

down when you are finished
using it, without turning off
the screen?

Battery Usage
Usage

35. Do any of the apps in your
battery usage list display
“background activity”
under the app name?

36. This means that the
app continued to do
something in the
background while
you were using a
different app.

37. you could make all
background activity
stop…

38. but not all
background activity
is bad

39. In the case of
podcasts, I want it to
download new
episodes in the
background

40. Take a look at the
percentage of power
that your apps are
using in the
background and ask
yourself if it’s a big
deal.

41. If you want to stop
this behavior, you
can turn off
background activity
for those apps.

42. Go to Settings
General
background app refresh

43. Switch off any apps
that you do not
want refreshing in
the background
Stop with that
dang-diddly
refreshing!

44. TIP #3.
HELLO? IS IT ME
YOU’RE LOOKING FOR?

45. if an app is constantly
trying to find your
location, that takes
battery power.
Where are
you?

46. however, Sometimes you want
an app to always find you.

47. Good news: you can pick and choose
which apps find your location.
psst… where
are you now?

48. Go to Settings
privacy
location services

49. touch the name of
an app

50. decide when you want
it to track your
location

51. TIP #4. PUSH IT. PUSH IT GOOD.

52. When you set up your email
account on your phone, most
modern email providers will
“push” new emails to the
Mail app.

53. This means that your
phone is constantly
checking to see if you
have new mail, and if you
do, it grabs that mail and
brings it to you
immediately.

54. Instead of “pushing” information to
you, which uses a lot of power, you
can tell your phone to “fetch” that
information at longer intervals.

55. Instead of constantly checking, it
waits for a certain amount of time
before it checks for new content.

56. let’s fix this
Go to Settings
mail, contacts and calendars
fetch new data

57. If push is on, you can turn it off

58. If you have multiple email accounts,
you can set some to fetch and some
to push. Just touch the account
name to set it

59. Scroll all the way down and set
the frequency that you’d like your
phone to fetch.
Manually means
that it will only
fetch mail whenever
you open the app
