Those who have update to latest iOS 8 software on your Apple device, iPad and iPhone, might have noticed a low battery life. Regardless of the phone model you own, here are some best ways that help you to stop battery drainage, and add extra hours to its daily longevity.
Identify Battery Sucker Apps
Visit Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage. Find the app which is consuming battery, close it. If that's a spare or unwanted app uninstall it immediately.
Background App Refresh
By default, this feature is 'ON.' Visit Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Turn-off the feature for apps which continually refreshes app content. However, this feature is certainly great, but it also consumes battery power a lot when your phone runs on a a cellular network or a wi-fi network.
Disabling Notification Widgets
iOS 8 has new feature 'notification widgets' that pop-up transit information, sports scores, weather updates and many more. These widgets pull the data frequently, thus sucking battery life. Turn off widgets notification which are useful for you.
Parallax - Good Feature Gone Bad
Parallax might be too cool for your screen display, but the fact is - it's one of the biggest offenders of battery life for iOS 8. Visit Settings > General > Accessibility, and turn-off this feature.
Stop Location Tracking Apps
Keep it on when it is really necessary. Visit Settings > Privacy > Location Services, and stop apps which tracks your location. Recommended: Keep this feature on, "Find My iPhone" - in case you lost you phone, it will help you to track easily.
Reduce Screen Brightness
Screen brightness eats away precious hours of battery life. Don't make it brighter than necessary. Visit Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness and disable Auto-Brightness and decrease the setting manually.
Stop Fetch Function
All of us understand the need of auto-fetching notification, but the functions also eat the battery more than we think. It would be better to check your mails manually. Visit Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data, and turn it off.
