Stay without drums It can be a tragedy for many, and even more so when there is a sign of its damage, which is why a decision is made to replace the device.

In this article, Infobae will suggest all the adjustments that can be made to a mobile phone to reduce battery consumption and maintain it.

Actions that consume more battery

– Use maximum brightness: this option is not recommended because The screen is the biggest consumer of energy. If the user is in a situation where the light does not interfere with the information on the screen, it can be activated, but otherwise it is better to avoid it.

– “Screen always on” option, Also known as “always on screen” by its English name, this is a useful option to see the time or some advance functions when the phone is locked, but it causes constant battery consumption, even though the refresh rate may be minimal at this point. .

– continuous use of cellular data, Which will generate more consumption than connecting through Wow Because it has to constantly communicate with the transmitting antennas. If the user also moves physically, the consumption increases even more.

– Video calls google-meet, Zoom in, Skype or any other service. Sending and receiving video and audio iInternet Generates significant consumption due to the “effort” involved in this action, added to the currently active elements of the screen, such as the factors mentioned above.

– video recording, Especially if it’s continuous and full resolution, it can quickly drain your battery.

– video and photo editing, If this is done with powerful tools, it consumes a lot of graphics resources of the mobile phone and causes battery drain.

– video game with high graphics requirements, According to the same rules as in the previous case, they cause the battery percentage to drop very quickly. And although to a lesser extent, casual games are also usually associated with high consumption.

– Install, update and sync applicationseven in the background generates significant consumption.

Check the device’s battery health

– for that Check it out a iPhone just go Settings > Battery > Battery Health.

In this section, a percentage will appear, in which 100% indicates the most optimal condition, and below 80% it is already considered deteriorated and, therefore, it is indicated in the same panel that requires the replacement of the battery so that the device returns to work in the best form. .

in Android Applications must be used third party.

There are several tools you can use to check battery status, though Infobae recommends it Ampere for its simplicity. Once it opens, you will be able to see a section dedicated to battery specifications that you should look at level i condition To know the percentage of health and its interpretation accordingly.

Find out which apps are consuming the most battery

You need to know which apps are consuming the most battery so you can take action. Yes It was found that the application consumes a lot and is not used oftenYou may need to uninstall it or even contact the developer to find out if it’s a technical issue.

for that See which apps are using the most power, on iPhone or Android mobile, you must go parameters device and Access the battery panel.

Depending on the version of Android, the list may be a little more hidden, but it will always be among the options in this panel.

Display options that save battery

It has already been mentioned above that the screen is one of the elements that consumes the most battery. Therefore, it is important to take actions on it that will help increase autonomy.

Next, Infobae will explain what configuration parameters are recommended, all of them in screen settings:

– Reduce the brightness on the screen manually, for which it is also recommended Remove the “Auto Brightness” option. It may seem tedious to manually move it every time, but this way you can ensure that you never give a higher percentage of brightness than necessary.

– Use system dark modeAs long as the mobile screen is OLED or derivative. And it is that these panels present a black color as disabled pixels and, therefore, it is assumed that there is a lower consumption when using the device. To this we need to add the activation of the mentioned modality in all the apps that offer this visualization option.

– activate special functions (if you have them)Given that many cell phones offer options that save battery life and reduce eye strain, for example real tone and the way Change of this In case of iPhone.

Turn off background downloads

Updating to the latest available version of applications is important, but if you have serious problems with the autonomy of your mobile phone, Perhaps it would be convenient to prevent them from updating automatically.

I know They can still update manually if you enter google play or app store, But you will prevent them from automatically searching for new versions and updating if they find them.

for that Block updates on iOS We have to go Settings > App Store And look at the section “Automatic Downloads”. Here you have to turn it off Application updates Y By the way, also apps so that apps downloaded on other devices connected to the same Apple ID (if you have one) will not be downloaded.

In Android mobile phones You need to go to Google Play, click on it Photo Top right and go Settings > Network Settings. Click there once Update apps automatically and select an option Don’t update apps automatically.

Review apps running in the background

It has sometimes been commented that closing apps on a mobile phone is not as good as it seems. This does not necessarily serve to make the device work faster This does not mean saving battery if it is opened later..

However, if it is an application that is not going to be used again in the short term, closing it is a good way to prevent it from consuming resources in the background.

For that, you just have to look at the apps that are there Open it in multitasking. If you have gesture navigation configured, just slide your finger up from the bottom.
