YOUR IPHONE IS DYING BY 2 PM EVERY DAY. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY. IT'S THE DEFAULT SETTINGS SILENTLY DRAINING IT IN THE BACKGROUND. These 7 settings can help reduce background battery drain. 1. KILL BACKGROUND APP REFRESH Settings, Privacy and Security, Location Services, go through every app. Change Always to While Using. Then scroll to System Services at the bottom and turn off iPhone Analytics, Routing and Traffic, Improve Maps, and Significant Locations. These ping your GPS all day for Apple's benefit. 2. FIX LOCATION SERVICES Settings, General, Background App Refresh, set to Wi-Fi or Off. Every app you've ever downloaded is checking for updates in the background. This alone saves 15 to 25 percent daily drain. 3. TURN OFF ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY Settings, Display and Brightness, Always On Display, Off. Your screen stays partially lit every second of every day. Single biggest battery win on newer iPhones. 4. SWITCH MAIL TO FETCH Settings, Mail, Accounts, Fetch New Data, turn Push off. Set Fetch to Every 30 Minutes or Manually. Push keeps a live connection to your email server 24 hours a day. Fetch checks on a schedule and stops the constant drain. 5. TURN OFF ANALYTICS Settings, Mail, Accounts, Fetch New Data, turn Push off. Set Fetch to Every 30 Minutes or Manually. Push keeps a live connection to your email server 24 hours a day.

Push keeps a live connection to your email server 24 hours a day. Fetch checks on a schedule and stops the constant drain. 7. REMOVE LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Settings, Cellular, Cellular Data Options, Voice and Data, select 5G Auto. 5G uses significantly more power than LTE. 5G Auto switches to LTE when full speed isn't needed, which is 90 percent of the time.
