When this feature is enabled, the system automatically slows down the processor, prioritizes single-core work, focuses on the chip&#8217;s high-performance cores, limits background updates, and adjusts various system settings to minimize power consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/jueves-27-abr-2023-142917-copia.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-286053\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to activate the power saving mode on the iPhone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Activating the low power mode on our iPhone is a quick and easy process. The exact steps to follow are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>We enter the Battery section.<\/li><li>Activate Low Power Mode.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/jueves-27-abr-2023-142917-1024x716.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-286054\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, we can ask Siri with something like &#8220;<strong>Hey Siri activate low power mode<\/strong>&#8220;. On the other hand, if we prefer, we can activate this mode from the Control Center of our iPhone or iPad. To do this, first, we must add the corresponding option. Just open the Settings app, go to Control Center and tap the green button on the left of Low power. Then from the same Control Center we can touch that button to enable or disable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we can activate the Low Power Mode from the notification that invites us to do so when the battery of our iPhone or iPad drops below 10 or 5% charge. Here we simply tap Activate to make sure we get the most out of our charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that while the low power or power saving mode is activated, <strong>the battery icon on the top right will appear yellow <\/strong>instead of the traditional white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional recommendations to save battery life on the iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to activating the low power mode on our iPhone, there are several things we can do to enjoy maximum autonomy on our phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we can turn on <strong>automatic brightness<\/strong> to prevent the screen from consuming more power than necessary. It is also advisable to use Wi-Fi instead of mobile data whenever possible, as data usage can drain the battery more quickly. In addition, it is important to take care of the temperature of the iPhone, avoiding exposing it to extreme temperatures, both high and low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Guided Tour of iPhone 14 &amp; iPhone 14 Pro | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cgpSBjWutGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to extend battery life is to enable <strong>airplane mode in low coverage areas<\/strong>, as this will prevent the iPhone from constantly searching for a signal and consuming battery in the process. Finally, it is important to remember that all batteries degrade over time and if the battery capacity has decreased significantly, it is advisable to consider replacing it with a new one to optimize the iPhone&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power saving mode -Low Power Mode to be exact- is a very useful resource to extend the battery life of our iPhone easily. And going further, although these measures help us to extend the autonomy, in certain cases it will be best to add a portable charger or an external battery to our equipment to ensure that our iPhone has enough power at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 16\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/136f0b86-36a2-484c-98df-49fc90b365b6\/2187633187\/ios-16-iOS%2016-icon.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 16<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-16.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-16.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The energy saving mode \u2014Low Power Mode to be exact\u2014 is a very useful resource to easily extend the battery life of our iPhone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9262,"featured_media":226152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[3844,1405],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-226151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bateria","tag-iphone"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226151"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226151\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":320677,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226151\/revisions\/320677"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226151"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=226151"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=226151"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=226151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
