Here are some tips and tricks to help make your iPhone battery last longer.
Turn off Background App Refresh
One way to extend your battery life is to turn off the Background App Refresh in your Settings.
According to Apple: "When Background App Refresh is enabled, apps can check for new data and updates even when you're not using them, which can drain your battery and use up your data.
"Disabling Background App Refresh can help to improve your iPhone's battery life and performance.
"It can also save you data if you're on a limited data plan."
Turn off Location Services
Another way battery power is affected is through the allowance of Location Services. While this can be useful for apps like Google Maps, it can wear down your battery quickly, giving you less time to scroll.
To turn this off, you should access Settings, Privacy & Security and Location Services before deactivating it.
Cut down on Notifications
If your phone screen is constantly lighting up for notifications each day, your battery is likely to suffer.
If you receive notifications on your Apple device you're not interested in reading and are looking to improve your battery's performance, you may want to cut back.
To do this, PC Magazine states that you should access Settings and Notifications before turning off notifications on certain apps.

To turn this off, you can access Settings and Siri & Search before disabling 'Listen for "Hey Siri"'.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
