We all know the basic battery-saving tricks on the iPhone, like reducing screen brightness or turning off Wi-Fi. However, there are tools hidden in the system that allow the device to manage its battery on its own. And it's not about the standard power-saving mode.
Smarter energy management with Siri shortcuts
The key solution is combining automation with Siri shortcuts. The system can automatically adjust the phone’s settings according to various situations. For example, when the battery level drops to 40%, it automatically activates power-saving mode – much earlier than the standard 20% reminder. At night, it switches to maximum power-saving mode, turning off all unnecessary processes.
In the "Shortcuts" app, you’ll find the option to create your own automations to take care of the battery when you need it most. You can create your own "smart profiles" tailored to your day. During travel, the phone will ensure the battery doesn't die at an inconvenient moment. And on weekends, when using navigation, it automatically adjusts settings so that GPS lasts longer.

Simple tricks for saving energy with one click
Another handy trick is creating a shortcut that, with one click, turns off all battery-draining features: cellular data, Bluetooth, GPS, and background app refresh. It's an ideal solution when your battery level is low, and your phone needs to last for a few more hours.
What about apps that drain the battery by running in the background? Instead of closing them manually, let the iPhone monitor which ones are the biggest "battery drainers." In each app's settings, you can disable background activity, automatically reducing unnecessary energy consumption – perfect for apps like Facebook or Google Maps.
Push notifications and battery life
Not everyone knows that push notifications also impact battery usage. Each notification lights up the screen, waking up the phone to display it. If you want to save battery, you can disable push notifications for less important apps.
Smart charging and battery optimization
Finally, it's worth remembering the "Optimized Battery Charging" option, which adjusts the charging process to extend battery life. The phone learns your daily routine and charges slower at night to avoid continuously charging the battery to full capacity. Additionally, you can use Focus Mode, which not only silences notifications but also intelligently manages energy by adjusting settings to your current needs.
