The basics that everyone should know

While it may seem like the steps to take in order to save battery life can be very complicated, there are many simple things you can do as well.

Applications tend to run in the background, even if you aren't using them. It's always important to close out of running applications to free up space and to save battery life.

One of the most common features of the iPhone is Low Power Mode. While it automatically asks about switching to low power when your phone hits 20%, you can turn on Low Power Mode at any percentage. This mode turns changes settings temporarily in order to preserve battery life. You can also lower your screen brightness to help save energy as well.

Another big thing is to turn off automatic downloads and updates. You never know when one could start. It could start a very inconvenient time when you need the most out of your phone's battery.

Tips that require a little more work

While these tips are not necessarily complicated, they require a little more digging in your settings to get to.

You can also manually change your Siri settings. Disabling the "Hey Siri" setting will save some of the energy that your phone uses.

In your settings, you can also turn off apps that use your location and disable notifications to help save your phone's life.

A lot of battery saving techniques require a lot of digging around through the settings on your phone.
