Tips to Save iPhone Battery with iOS 16:
Almost all the settings are from new features that have come to our devices with iOS 16.1:
Disable live activities:
Please follow the path below to disable this feature: Settings/Face ID & Passcode and disable live activities.
This feature allows apps to keep a continuous notification on the lock screen or on the dynamic island of the iPhone 14 Pro Live activities can be used to keep track of a soccer game, for example, following a flight, progressing through training. Turning off this constant notification can put an end to excessive battery drain.
You can also disable this option on an individual app-by-app basis or prevent use of the live activity features within apps.
Remove lock screen widgets:
With iOS 16 the widgets option was added. Widgets are constantly visible on the lock screen and many update in the background, which means they consume battery power.
To avoid this, simply don't use them on your lock screens or, if you have them already installed, get rid of them.
Disable haptic keyboard feedback:
Apple in iOS 16 also added a fun feature that gives you haptic feedback when you use the on-screen keyboard. It vibrates with each tap for a more satisfying typing experience, but what you may not know is that it drains your battery.
To deactivate it you must go to Settings / Sounds and vibrations / Keyboard response and deactivate the options "Sound" and "Vibration" .
Turn Off Always-On Display (iPhone 14 Pro):
Always-on display is not a feature of iOS 16, but can be configured on iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max As the name suggests, Always-On Screen leaves the weather, wallpaper, widgets, and live activities visible on the lock screen, even when your iPhone is locked.
The battery consumption of this function is minimal but, even so, it consumes especially if you have Widgets and live activities. That is why if you want to save battery, we advise you to deactivate it by entering Settings / Display and brightness and deactivating the "Always on" option .
Do Not Use iCloud Shared Photo Library:
iCloud Shared Photo Library is a feature in iOS 16.1 that lets you use a standard photo library together with up to five other people, with everyone able to upload, edit, and delete images. Using iCloud Photo Sharing Library could cause others' photos to sync to your iPhone at inopportune times, draining battery life.
To deactivate this function you must go to Settings/Photos/Mobile data and deactivate the option “Mobile data”
This way photo uploads will be restricted to WiFi, so photos shared with you won't be downloaded to your device when you're using a mobile data connection.
Choose non-animated wallpapers:
An animated wallpaper will drain your battery a little more than a static wallpaper. That is why to save battery on your iPhone with iOS 16, do not use them.
An example of an animated wallpaper is weather. This has movement and changes depending on the weather conditions. Another example is the Random Photos option that cycles through selected photos throughout the day. Also the Astronomy wallpaper also changes based on the current conditions.
Without a doubt 6 tips that will help you save iPhone battery with iOS 16. It is up to each one to choose one, two, three or all of these tips. We always encourage a balance between functions that can help you be much more productive and consumption.
