When Apple launched iOS 7.1 it brought many improvements and features. On paper it does seem to be the best thing that Apple has ever released, however it does happen to be a big leech in comparison to iOS 7.
So here are some tips to help you get the most from your devices battery.
The first thing you can do is test the battery and you can do this in Settings – General – Usage. Take note of the amount of power consumption and then jot it down. You should the leave the device in standby for around 5 to 10 minutes. Re-activate your device and you can see the results. If the usage increases then something is wrong the standby of the device.
You can also close off apps and this will help prolong the battery life of the device.
You can also try to disable push email and then re-enable it. This is due to the fact that often email can get stuck and glitches can mean that the phone attempts to keep resending it.
Switch the battery percentage off as this will mean that you are not checking the level of the battery every five minutes.
Reduce the amount of brightness that you have the display set to. If it is bright in the room then you don’t have to have the brightness on full on your display. You can save a lot of battery if you do this.
If you are not using location services you should turn them off as this can drain down the battery.
When apps update they use data and they also use battery. Disable background updates and only update when you are at home and have the iPhone plugged in.
You can make a hard reset of your device to help boost the battery level by making sure that apps have closed off.
If all else fails you can reset your handset altogether and then restore the latest back up.
