No battery with iOS 11? Tips to improve autonomy

iOS 11 has arrived, with all the good in the form of new functionalities, and all the bad in an autonomy that the specialized media are echoing. In Actualidad iPhone We have been telling you this with the Betas, however, it seems that Apple has not had time to improve it. Still, We can still put some other means with the intention of extending the autonomy of our iPhone with iOS 11 as much as possible.

So we are going to give you some very relevant tips with which you can maximize the battery performance of your iPhone with iOS 11. Once again we are back with the best tips for your iPhone and your iPad.

We are going to go by parts, since you will know many of these saving measures. However, it is true that a decrease in autonomy has hardly been noticed in devices such as the Plus range of the iPhone, and more slightly in the case of the iPhone 7. However, devices that have been seriously affected by this drain on battery consumption are the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6, as well as obviously its smaller siblings, the iPhone SE and the iPhone 5s. The reality is that the overall performance of the device does not necessarily drop, but that of the battery does. So, let's go there with the tips to improve battery consumption that we have for you.

Manage Location

The location is one of the most determining points, many users do not finish configuring this relevant aspect of the iPhone, and the reality is that it has an important battery of functionalities that most of us mortals do not use for absolutely anything but that really have an appetite. insatiable battery. That is why it is important that you go to Settings> Privacy> Location and start taking a look at it. It is important that you review which applications you use regularly, and especially if the use of location "Always" is not activated in any application, since this means that the application will constantly locate us, whether we have it open or not.

Another decisive point is to navigate to "System Services" and deactivating practically all the options, with special emphasis on frequent locations. In this way, the phone will stop constantly positioning us with the intention of knowing where we are and without any need, it is one of the options that consumes the most battery.

Updating in the background, an escape route

The background update is great for applications such as Telegram or Spark, since when we enter the application we will have the content directly loaded, without having to wait for the application to load the content. But this has a problem, there are applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram that use this feature without mercy or for our battery, nor of course for our mobile data consumption. As it turns out that you have a couple of somewhat shaky WhatsApp groups or have a lot of notifications on Instagram, your battery is most likely draining in a shocking way. To configure this aspect we are going to go to Settings> General> Background update, and we will have simple switches to select.

Control screen brightness

Many iOS 11 users have found that the brightness rises too strongly in circumstances that do not require it. The first step will be to calibrate the automatic brightness in iOS 11, for this we are going to go to Settings> Accessibility> Display settings and inside we will have automatic brightness. Then we are going to raise it to the maximum just before deactivating it, then we are going to go to the darkest section that we have within our reach and then we will proceed to activate the automatic brightness. If you see that it is not a solution, you will have no choice but to regulate the brightness manually until the next update.

Configure notifications

How necessary is it that certain applications are sending you notifications or are constantly connecting with push servers? Well, the reality is that almost the majority of users have unnecessary notifications activated, so we recommend that you go to the Notification Center and really configure those applications that you want to notify you on the lock screen, that you assign to others only the number in the icon, or even prevent you from being notified outside of the app. It seems ineffective, but the reality is that reducing the frequency with which the phone connects with servers saves a lot of battery life, especially if you usually travel by public transport such as the Metro where coverage is usually deficient.

Without further ado, these are our main recommendations so that you can get more out of your battery with iOS 11, meanwhile, we have little more to wait for iOS 11.0.1.

    But hey, what a mania ... Wait a bit before saying that ios11 consumes a lot of battery in certain terminals. My iPhone 6s is not special nor does it have an alien battery or anything weird. And the battery is at the same level as with iOS10 ... but of course ... since you install ios11 until it stabilizes, many hours pass (even 2 or 3 days). Because just installed, it does a thousand things in the background that drain the battery and heat up the terminal, yes, true ... but it's provisional. It is not the battery performance that you will always have. Just be patient and let me analyze the entire library, reindex all the data, optimize structures, etc. etc. etc.

    And stop stating categorically those strange things of "the battery is much worse in ios 11 in this or that terminal" being a hasty (and false) conclusion.

      Hey.

      I've been testing iOS 11 since its beta, there are thousands of threads on Reddit and specialized forums. Not only is the fact that iOS 11 eats your battery real, but your claim that it consumes the same as iOS 10 is totally false, more than verified.

      Greetings.
