How to Keep Your Smartphone Battery Intact and Last Long?

how to increase battery on your smartphone
Technology has been successful in making us its slaves and has let us know the importance of gadgets in our lives. Laptops and Smartphones are the most important ones of them all. And for them, their battery is the most important thing to keep them going. Smartphone batteries don’t last forever, and some devices have an almost-annoying screen-on time.
A lot of battery life is drained by push notifications, those app-specific messages that pop up on your lock screen from time to time. Each time your phone receives a notification from the network, it lights up and, depending on your settings, vibrates or makes a noise, too. That all takes a toll on your battery, especially if you receive a lot of updates.

Those big, LED and LCD screens and heavy apps are an obvious drain on your battery, but there are lots of things you can do behind-the-scenes to make your Android last longer. Let’s explore

Tips to Increase the Battery on Your Smartphone:

  • Location Services:

Many apps on Android use “location services” to, say, tag status updates with GPS data or find good deals in your immediate area. For this, your phone needs to get connected to the internet and the continuous refreshing and fetching of data can reduce battery life, so always keep track of it and keep location services off if not in use.

  • Wallpaper:

If your phone uses an AMOLED display, like many popular Android devices, each pixel on the screen takes a little bit of power to “light up”. As such, the more black pixels you can get on your screen, the better. Set a dark wallpaper as your default, and try using dark themes on apps when possible.

  • Vibration:

It actually takes more power to vibrate your phone than it does to ring it. So, turn off vibration alerts for incoming calls, unless you really need that added awareness. Similarly, it surely feels cool to have haptic feedback on, but it doesn’t really add anything to your experience, and it’s another battery drainer. Better to turn it off and save your battery from unnecessarily getting drain.

  • Wi-Fi:

If you’re not using your smartphone to connect to wireless Internet, switch the wi-fi settings to “off.” This will stop your phone from sniffing out networks and help you in saving battery life.

  • Apps:

Even if you’re not using an app, it can run in the background and consume the battery of your smartphone. Apps running in background drain the battery of your smartphone a lot faster. Do remember to turn off the apps after using them to save your battery.

  • Brightness:

Try to keep the brightness level low to keep your phone running longer. The brighter your screen, the more battery it’s eating.

  • Extra battery:

Last but not the least, if your smartphones is an Android device, you can buy an additional battery (or two) to keep them charged and slot in when needed. It’s an obvious solution but perhaps an overlooked one.
