With some practical tips, you can save battery with Apple iOS 11 and thus extend the life of your iPhone. We have listed the best tricks for you in the following article.

iOS 11: Save battery with changed settings

• Deactivate Bluetooth in the settings so that the service does not always switch itself on again.
• Apps continuously fetch data in the background. If you don't use an app often, turn off the updates in the settings.
• If you deactivate the GPS in the data protection / location services section, this also extends the battery life.
• Turn on the power saving mode. This limits functions that shorten the battery life.
• Set the screen brightness to a low level.
• Set the automatic screen lock to a short interval. The shorter the display is in operation, the less battery power is used.
• Deactivate the Siri voice assistant.
