People spend a lot of time with their smartphones, and that’s why you need to keep it always charged. However, over time, the device discharges faster and faster, sometimes it has to be “powered” every hour. The experts explained how, firstly, to increase the operating time of the gadget, and secondly, to preserve the battery life, reports zakon.kz.

According to Profile, experts urge not to wait until the phone turns off – the charge level should not fall below 40%. As soon as the mark reaches 80%, the device must be stopped charging. This, experts say, will keep the battery working longer. You cannot charge your phone at night – it is better several times during the day.

In addition, applications should be updated, since sometimes developers fix bugs that lead to a quick discharge of the gadget.

Experts also note that it is worth using dark wallpapers – dark pixels require less energy.

Turning off location services in apps is a good idea, as it also takes a lot of energy. In addition, you should disable widgets, unnecessary notifications, and background app refresh. If you urgently need to save the remaining charge, it is recommended to turn on airplane mode and lower the screen brightness.
