Quick Tips: Battery Life Tips for your Samsung Phone
Restart your phone – If you haven't restarted it for a while, it's time to do it now. Many apps and processes run in the system's background, causing the phone's battery to drain faster. By rebooting the phone, everything that runs unnoticed will be closed. In addition, a restart will refresh the memory and the phone will perform much better.
Check out the battery-draining apps – Start by checking which apps drain the battery the most. Go to Settings > Device Care> Battery> Battery > Battery Usage. Once you figure out which apps are at the top of the list, check for updates or uninstall the app, especially if it is unimportant.
Disable the services you don't use now – One of our biggest mistakes is letting various services work even when we don't need them. There is no need to have mobile data enabled if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network at home. Or, if you don't need the headphones at the moment, why keep the Bluetooth on? Once you are done with the service, please turn it off. You'll notice the battery lasts much longer.
Enable Dark mode – If you turn Dark mode on, you will notice a difference in the battery department. To enable it, go to Settings > Display > Dark mode.
Reduce the brightness level or enable Adaptive brightness – Simple tweaks can make an enormous difference. So, you can reduce the brightness level by going to Settings > Display or enabling the Adaptive brightness option if that suits you more.
Turn off Always-on Display – A feature that can drain and make the battery drain much faster is Always-on Display. You can do this with a single tap by opening Quick Settings and tapping on the dedicated button.
Set the screen timeout to 15 or 30 seconds – Go to Settings > Display > Screen timeout and select one of the two options.
If you are out somewhere and can't charge your phone at the moment and the battery level is super low, you can enable the Power Saver. Go to Settings > Device Care > Battery.
Tap on Power saving mode and tap the switch to turn it on. It will decrease the brightness, limit the CPU speed, and disable some services. You'll still have the essential functions at hand.
