16 Tricks to Make Your Phone's Battery Last Longer
Turn off Bluetooth. Turn off GPS when you’re not using it. Turn off Wi-Fi. You might even consider turning off your hotspot features. These are some of the biggest battery drainers on smartphones, as they’re always looking for potential connections, networks, or information. Turn these features off in your phone’s settings except when you need them to save power.
Some phones, such as Android smartphones, have widgets with switches that let you turn these features on or off. For example, you can turn on Bluetooth when you're in the car for hands-free driving or GPS navigation, and then turn it off again to save your phone's battery.
Having Wi-Fi on will drain your battery when you’re not using it, but if you’re on a wireless network, it’s more power efficient to use Wi-Fi than mobile data. So, switch to Wi-Fi instead of your mobile network whenever you can to save your phone’s battery. For most people, this means using Wi-Fi when you’re at home, but turning Wi-Fi off when you’re away from a Wi-Fi network to keep your phone running longer.
