Enable Low Power Mode

Every time Apple releases an update of iOS, many users complain that those new versions consume a lot of battery. Many don't know that this can be remedied with a simple iPhone restart But if this doesn't fix it, almost all of us activate low power mode.

If you didn't know, the low power mode feature greatly reduces the power consumption of the operating system by disabling functions that most affect battery life These changes have, as a consequence, a lower consumption of resources and a lengthening of the autonomy of the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch.

But what functions are deactivated? We are going to tell you about that below.

Features that are disabled when activating the low power mode of the iPhone:

To start we will tell you how to activate this mode. It can be done in several ways:

  • From the Settings/Battery path .
  • Telling Siri to turn on Low Power Mode.
  • Directly from the Control Center .
  • When we have 20% battery left, the device notifies us and lets us choose whether or not to activate said mode.

Now, the functions that are deactivated when activated are the following:

  • 5G Connectivity: 5G connectivity is disabled on iPhone 12 models and later generations. Let's stop using the iPhone with 4G connectivity.
  • The display always on (Always On) will be deactivated for those compatible iPhone models, which in this case are the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and for Apple Watches that also support this feature (Series 5 and up) .
  • Screen Brightness: The screen will decrease its brightness automatically.
  • Automatic lock: Have the time you have stipulated for your iPhone to lock automatically, when you activate the low consumption mode that time will become 30 seconds.
  • Animated or dynamic wallpapers: Animated wallpapers will be disabled on all those iPhones that cannot update to iOS 16, since in this version of iOS the backgrounds animated screens went down in history. Dynamic backgrounds will be deactivated on all iPhones with iOS 16, that use them.
  • Push Notifications: The Mail application constantly sends and receives data from the servers to update the email inbox using this technology, as long as you have it configured that way. Low power mode disables this feature.
  • Background Refresh: Background Refreshes run resources every second to update the content of applications, even if the applications are not open or active.
  • Depth effect.
  • iCloud Photo Sync.
  • Limit on MagSafe charge.
  • Automatic downloads in the App Store.
  • Autoplay videos on the App Store.
  • Reduced CPU and GPU performance.
  • Refresh rate reduction.
  • Other background activities and tasks.

You know what all that turns off when you turn on low power mode. Above all, we must emphasize Push notifications, since if you are one of the people who need to be connected to their email, you should check by hand if you receive new emails by accessing the email app from time to time.

Without further ado and hoping that you found today's article interesting, we will shortly call you to new news, apps, tricks to get the most out of your Apple devices.
