2 Settings to Extend Your iPhone Battery Life🔋
Your iPhone battery is smarter than you think but only if the right features are enabled.
With a few simple settings, you can slow battery aging, reduce unnecessary power drain, and keep your iPhone battery healthier for longer.
Here are two must-enable battery tips that work quietly in the background without affecting your daily usage.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Optimized Battery Charging
Path:
Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging > Optimized Battery Charging
What does it do?
When enabled, your iPhone learns your daily charging habits and intelligently pauses charging at 80%.
It will only finish charging to 100% when it predicts you’ll need to use your phone.
Why this matters:
- Keeping a battery at 100% for long periods speeds up battery aging
- This feature reduces stress on the battery
- Especially useful if you charge your iPhone overnight
✅ Recommendation:
Always keep this feature turned on.

🔄 2. Manage Background App Refresh
Path:
Settings > General > Background App Refresh
What does it do?
Background App Refresh allows apps to update content even when you’re not using them.
The problem:
Many apps refresh in the background without adding real value, quietly draining your battery throughout the day.
Best practice:
Keep ON for:
- Messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram)
- Email apps
- Essential work or system apps
Turn OFF for:
- Shopping apps
- Games
- Apps you rarely use
Benefits:
- Better battery life
- No impact on push notifications
- Longer standby time
——————————————————————————————————————
✅ Quick Summary
By adjusting just two settings, you can significantly improve your iPhone’s battery longevity:
-
✔ Enable Optimized Battery Charging to reduce battery aging
-
✔ Limit Background App Refresh to essential apps only
-
✔ Enjoy longer battery life without changing how you use your phone
These tips are especially important for pre-owned iPhones, helping the battery stay healthy and reliable for a longer time.
