Isn’t it always the case that when you have to make that important phone call , send that amazing photo, or have an emergency Cram session that your battery life is low. Well in this iPhone How-To, we are going to show you a few ways to save that oh so crucial battery life.

Follow along, you will love us for it.

1. Minimize your use of third-party apps.

That’s right. Those awesome iPhone apps that you download do drain your battery. The good news is as long as you minimize your use of third-party apps you should be fine. Also remember, all iPhone apps aren’t equal. There are just some apps , particularly games or apps that utilize vibration or GPS within the app, that can run your battery down.

2. Only pull one email account.

Instead of retrieving your email from multiple accounts, try pulling only one or two email accounts. It just takes more battery power to do it. Try setting up your multiple email accounts and feeding it into one account, this way you are only pulling one account on your phone.

3. Turn down your screen.

It’s that simple, turn it down. Simply go to your iPhone Settings –> Brightness , and lower the brightness of your screen. It’s that easy.

4. Turn off GPS.

On your iPhone, go to Settings–> General –> and use the slider to turn off “Location Services” aka GPS.

5.  Turn off your iPhone WiFi.

Again, on your iPhone, go to Settings–> Wi-Fi–> and use the slider to turn off “Wi-Fi”.

That’s it, start saving your battery power.
