Most phones these days will last for a day of use, and in some cases possibly two, but the days of your handset lasting for a week between charging sessions is long gone. However, there are some things you can do to keep it running for longer, so that you're not reaching for the charger quite so often.
Here are few tips that you can use to make your Android phone last longer. These tips won’t work for iPhones, and Android phones.
1. Take Control of Your Location
The most drastic way to improve your phone’s battery life is to shut off the GPS function entirely. In reality, though, that’s not usually practical. Therefore, we instead recommend taking control of how your phone and apps use location.2. Switch to the Dark mode
If your phone sports an OLED screen, switching to a dark theme helps to preserve the battery. Since OLED displays can disable individual pixels, backgrounds with deep blacks allow them to consume less power.Also Read : OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro India Prices, Color Variants Revealed
3. Limit Apps Running in the Background
Most apps you use are active even after you exit them. That’s where Android’s app-specific battery tools enter.With a simple switch, you can completely restrict an app from accessing the battery in the background. Find this at Settings > Apps & Notifications and there, inside the specific app’s page, tap Advanced > Battery > Background restriction.
4. Monitor Misbehaving Apps
Your battery life can take a big hit if an app doesn’t work like it’s supposed to. This could be caused by anything from a bug to a deliberate aggressive background feature. You can check this by heading into Settings > Battery > Menu > Battery Usage to see which apps have drained the most of it.5. Change Sync Settings
Since apps won’t constantly refresh themselves in the background to feed you new information, this can save you a ton of battery life too. To disable auto-sync, visit Settings > Accounts and there, the Automatically sync data options should be available at the bottom. You can also disable sync on a per-app basis in most apps.6. Use some Lite apps
Some of the most popular apps have Lite or Go versions - apps from Google and Facebook are some of the most popular examples of these. These apps are created for people with weaker phones that can't handle big apps, as they're often a bit more basic.There are a few downsides to these apps, as they're often slower to use and less powerful, but the battery saving may be enough to offset this.
