The Apple iOS 7.1 is known for many great things and one bad thing. The latter is referring to the shortened battery life that is the result of running iOS 7.1. Today, we got the remedy on how one can extend their iPhone or iPad’s battery life if they are running on iOS 7.1.
1. Identify The Issue
Go to Settings > General > Usage and jot down the standby and usage time. Now, put the device to sleep for 5 minutes before activating it again. The standby time should increase. If not, there is a problem with your device going to sleep.
2. Leave Apps Running
This may sound ridiculous but you need to understand that the iOS freezes all running apps automatically and focus on a single running app. Taking the effort to close apps actually consumes more power.
3. Turn Off Battery Percentage
The more that is displayed on the screen, the more power is needed. It is the basic of power consumption. As such, turn off the battery percentage to reduce the number of running contents on the screen.
4. Brightness
This is key to a good battery life. Keep the brightness at its lowest, at all time. Only increase the brightness when needed. You will notice a massive improvement in battery life.
5. Background Update
Take control of your apps by preventing them from updating as an when they please. Only do so when your device is plugged in and there is a Wi-Fi network available.
