Does iOS 10 use a lot of battery? Fix it with these tips

IOS 10 has arrived, not without its problems. I, like many others, are seeing the battery of devices like the iPhone 6s fly. However, everything has a solution in this life (except death), so we want to help you with these tips to improve battery performance with iOS 10. The reality is that this new version of Apple's operating system is loaded with news, However, these new features usually require energy resources and all this considerably depletes the battery of the device. Let's face it, most of those features we didn't even know existed. So, don't miss our tips for improving battery performance with iOS 10. The first tip of all is calibrate iPhone battery but also, follow these tricks to improve its performance even more.

Think about what you use or do not use, and deactivate it

iOS 10 brings many new functions, automatic synchronization with the macOS Sierra desktop, improvements in Spotlight, in Maps, but ... do you use them all? We doubt it, that's why it is best to take a good look at the new features and settings of iOS 10 to improve the performance of the system in general, I personally do it with each of the new versions of iOS, it helps you to improve the battery performance a lot, for example, Spotlight is fully integrated, but you do not always need to be aware of each of the applications.

In addition, in the notification center we will find widgets that we often do not use as Stock Market or even The Weather according to which users, it is a good time to also get rid of them. It is important that we determine which new iOS features are of interest to us and which are not.Having it all turned on doesn't help performance at all, especially on devices that are old enough. For this reason, I strongly recommend that you think about which functions really matter and which ones are filled, each user has their preferences.

Background update, battery drain

There are applications that literally drain the battery of the iPhone 6 and other models while they work in the background, we are talking about WhatsApp, Facebook and even Instagram, these applications on devices with more than 1GB of RAM (iPhone 6s onwards) tend to stay open, another example is Pokémon Go, which consume data and battery in the background, however little or no utility has since we cannot hunt them if we are using another application. In the Settings> General section we find Background Update.

If we enter we will see the list of applications and the switches that activate them, it's a good time to make a selectionIn applications such as WhatsApp, the truth is that it is appreciated, however, it is recommended above all to remove it from some applications that we do not use so regularly.

The location, another battery leak

There are functions like «iAds by location»Or«frequent locations»That they are not going to be used for anything other than to waste battery, it is a good time to go to Settings> Privacy, a section of the iPhone configuration that we tend to abandon. I personally always go to "System Services" and deactivate them according to interest. However, in the list of applications it is important not to have any configured in «Always display«, Since the application will run in the background and use GPS 24 hours a day.

GPS does not consume excessively, but when applications like TripAdvisor abuse it, the result is disastrous, remember that if it locates us it is running in the background, goodbye battery.

Unconventional methods

If you have carried out all these tricks and even so the consumption is still very poor, perhaps the fault lies with the operating system and it is time to give it a review. Especially if you have updated to iOS 10 from iOS 9 and you have not restored the device, these errors may arise. The first and most basic measure will be to make a «Reset»To the device, for this we will press Home+Power for about 10 seconds. We will wait for the device to work again and use it for a day, to see if the battery does not improve.

If everything remains the same we will have to consider two options, restore the device or take advantage to return to iOS 9.3.5 now that Apple is still signing that version of the operating system.
