Improve your iPhone X/8/ battery life: 6 quick and easy tips and tricks. Thank me later.

 Tip #1: Delete Facebook and Messenger app.

This is a well known fact that facebook and messenger app consume most of the battery on iphone due to its background processes. It may sound weird that facebook app consumes battery even if you are on Airplane mode.

Tip #2: Use dark mode in apps that have it.

The iOS interface is bright, lively and colorful – this particular aspect of Apple's software experience isn't customizable. Apps, however, can follow any color scheme built into them by their developers. There's a number of popular apps that go for a darker look. Apps like Spotify, for instance, or iOS's own Clock app. Other apps give you a dark mode as an option. For example, Twitter has a Night Mode built into it, available from the Settings menu. So do Reddit, Wikipedia, and the cool Mini Metro game. Also, Amazon Kindle and Apple iBooks can display white text against a black background instead of the default black-on-white approach. So if you find yourself using a particular app all the time, check if it has a dark theme as option, or see if an alternative to that app has one.

Twitter for iOS is an example of an app with Night Mode built in Tip #3: Use the "hidden dark mode" in iOS In its current state, iOS does not have a dark mode, a dark theme, or a night mode, hidden or not. However, many refer to the platform's built in Smart Invert feature as such. When active, this mode inverts the colors of UI elements, yet leaves certain graphics like photos or videos unchanged. And since iOS's interface is dominated by whites and bright colors, inverting them leaves you with a "dark theme" of sorts across apps and iOS itself, thus saving you battery. Smart Invert can be found in the Settings menu, under Accessibility > Display accommodations. Frankly, we are not in favor of using this mode all the time, simply because it takes away from the iOS experience. But if you're in a situation where you know you won't be near a charger anytime soon – during a flight or a long commute, for example – iOS's "dark mode" could be of use. Now go read our article on how to activate Smart Invert dark interface mode on your iPhone X. Smart Invert mode in iOS inverts colors of UI elements, but leaves pictures and videos intact Tip #4: Avoid Using Dynamic Wallpaper iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X Dynamic Wallpapers are really gorgeous. The animated wallpapers look pleasing to the eyes, but they eat into plenty of battery. Hence, avoid using them to conserve battery. Tip #5: Turn Off Fitness Tracking Thanks to M11 motion co-processor, your iPhone lets you track your steps, body motion and other activities. It's a very pivotal for fitness freaks or someone who is trying to get back in shape. But if it's not important to you, disable fitness tracking. Open Settings → Privacy → Motion & Fitness and turn off Fitness Tracking. Tip #6: Turn off Location Services One of the tricks that I use to never let the battery run out of steam on my device is disabled Location Services when not in use. The constant location tracking can put a lot of pressure on the device and even heat it up. So, make sure to it use it smartly. Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Turn it Off.
