Have you noticed that after iOS 11 you have to put the phone on charge more often than before? Well, you're not alone. Around the world, hundreds of users complain about a similar problem - and we have picked up for you several ways that will help fix it.

First of all, I want to note that the problems with the battery area rather blurry concept. There are many possible causes of this phenomenon, so for the correct "treatment", you will have to find out what exactly is the case in your case.

Apps


Often we are looking for a reason not where it really is. Perhaps, simultaneously with the transition to iOS 11, you installed some "voracious" application, which was the reason for the rapid discharge of the battery? Check it out quite simply. In the settings, select "Battery". There are listed all the applications and what kind of participation they took in discharging the device in the last 24 hours or 3 days.

Bugs found in iOS 11


One of the items is called Lock and "Home", so you can track if too much of the charge is spent by the operating system.

Try to determine which application is spending too much battery. It will not necessarily be the program with the greatest expense. Applications that you use almost constantly have high percentages quite justifiably. But the program you ran once for several minutes, eating 20% of the charge, looks like an alarm bell. The best solution is to simply delete such an application. If this is not possible, forcibly close it after each use so that it does not plant the battery while working in the background.

Background Update


Multitasking in iOS allows applications to update content even when they are not used, but are open. Although Apple did a lot of work to optimize this process and it reflected as little as possible on the battery life of the devices, some unfinished applications can expend a large amount of charge in this way.

The good news is that this feature is disabled. Select in the "Basic" settings, then "Background application update". There, set the slider opposite the item of the same name to the off position - and you're done!

Geolocation


Another important "item of expenditure" in the life of the battery. During installation, applications often ask us for access to certain functions of the device - including geolocation. So it will be useful to look at the list of applications that receive and use data about the location of the device: perhaps you will find there a lot of interesting things.

The best way is to disable access to geolocation at once to all applications. But this is possible only if you do not use cartographic services such as Apple Maps or Google Maps and do not want photographs taken to indicate where they were taken.

If you can not do without a navigator, you will have to disable access to the location selectively. First of all, disable Facebook - in terms of geolocation this social network is incredibly voracious. If you accidentally deny access to the application that it needs for normal operation, do not worry - the next time it starts, it will automatically prompt you to activate geolocation again.

Energy Saving Mode


Back in iOS 9 was introduced a mode of reduced energy consumption. Usually, it gives an additional 2-3 hours of battery life, which is more than not bad. To activate it, go to the "Battery" settings menu, where you need to select "Low Power Mode".

In this mode, the system automatically disables background application updates, automatic downloads, and some non-key visual enhancements. The offer to enable this mode appears along with the notification that you have 20% of the battery remaining, and it repeats if this number is up to 10%.

Quality of cellular communication


If you find in a place where there is a bad connection or there is no coverage of LTE, a reasonable action will be to turn it off and use 3G. Select "Cellular"> "Data settings"> "Voice and data" in the settings and switch from LTE to 3G or, if necessary, 2G.

Put the iPhone screen down


Since the iPhone is able to track when the screen is down, this can be used to save battery consumption. If you do not need to view the new notification, put the device in this way - then the screen will not turn on every time you receive a new response to Twitter or you will receive a VKontakte message. In this way, you can save up to an hour of battery life.

Full Discharge


Apple recommends at least once a month to run the iPhone through a full discharge cycle. Charge it to 100% and do not charge until the device is discharged before shutdown. If you have not done this for a long time, it is possible that the reason for your problem is precisely this.
