Apple has once again put the Ultra Wideband (UWB) in the limelight, an alternative technology to Bluetooth that was practically discarded until Apple arrived with the iPhone 11 and decided to popularize it again. As is often the case in these cases, hardly anyone had taken account of its privacy and battery savings until the Cupertino company began to use it by default. Be that as it may, Apple's Ultra Wideband that takes advantage of the U1 Chip can be deactivated and we show you how you can do it. A new and simple tutorial that we bring you from Actualidad iPhone to make it easier for you.
The first thing to remember is that to deactivate Apple's Ultra Wideband you need to have iOS 13.3.1 installed, since it is from this version that we find the configuration that allows us to deactivate it. This function requires the U1 Chip that Apple mounts and improves, among other things, the AirDrop process. This capacity is available in the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max so if you have an older model, although it will seem like a similar function that you can also deactivate, it is not exactly the same and perhaps the battery consumption is not visible. so affected.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Navigate to the Privacy section
- Click on the Location function and once inside, navigate to the end of the "System Services" section, enter.
- In System Services look for "Network connection and wireless networks"
- You will need to turn off the switch to deactivate the function
Disabling some of the functions present in this section «System Services» allows us to save a lot of battery, One of the most relevant when deactivating is "Important Places" since it stores our location by default and consumes a lot of battery.
