Ask a Third-Party App


If all this is too much to remember, a service like If This Then That(IFTTT) supports automated workflows that can help you conserve battery life. Use IFTTT to turn off services like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth based on your location, for example, or disable specific services when your battery falls to a certain percentage.

Apps like Greenify, meanwhile, will analyze the apps on your phone and identify which ones are more likely to suck up your battery life. It can then set inactive apps deemed to be problematic into hibernation, ensuring that your phone battery runs as smoothly as it did the day you got the device.

If you have Google Assistant up and running, go into the Assistant settings and deactivate it, which will stop Google Assistant from actively listening and using up battery life. If you have a Samsung device, you can also turn off the Bixby voice assistant feature that comes with the company's Android phones.

You should also consider disabling auto brightness, which adjusts based on your perceived needs but can also raise the brightness of your display higher than it needs to be. You can also change how long your screen remains active. Under the display settings on your phone, set it to fade to black after a few seconds. And head into the notifications settings to disable notifications from specific apps, so your phone doesn't light up every time a new alert comes in.
