In this article, we will discuss some tips and tricks on how to save battery on Android 12.. Many users struggle with battery life on their smartphones, but there are ways to optimize your settings and habits to prolong battery life.
How to Save Battery on Android 12
By default, this function in Android is taken over by artificial intelligence. It determines how often you use certain applications, and based on this data, assigns each of them one of four statuses: Active, Working_Set, Frequent, Rare . The less often an application is used, the more the system limits its work in the background.
Every phone has a battery with a limited capacity, and the user constantly has to monitor the charge level. We have collected for you some tips that will help extend the life of your iPhone or Android.BATTERY SAVING MODE
This option is available on every phone. It will come in handy if you suddenly notice that the battery is running low and you need to, for example, call a taxi. Activate “Low Power Mode” (“Power Saving Mode” or “Battery Saving”). The mode turns off energy-consuming functions, such as background app refresh, but leaves key ones – calls, SMS, mail.
Some phones automatically switch to power saving mode or prompt you to turn it on when the battery level drops to 20%.

Android phone (may vary depending on model): “Settings → Battery & device care → Battery → Power mode”.
-
iPhone: Settings → Battery → Low Power Mode.
ADAPTIVE POWER CONSUMPTION
When you use your phone, a lot of background processes run, from updating emails, messages, and notifications to scanning for available Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular connections.
All this consumes the smartphone’s energy. The Adaptive Battery feature on Android helps keep everything under control. To activate it, go to Settings → Battery → Adaptive Battery (there may be an option called “Power Saving”) and move the slider to the right.
DISABLING UNNECESSARY APPLICATIONS
Each application has its own “appetite”. We recently wrote that one of the most gluttonous is the Telegram messenger. In addition, games and entertainment also quickly eat up the charge.
You can check for yourself what share of the total power consumption falls on each application. Go to “Settings → Battery → Power saving” and estimate how much battery capacity each application takes.
To extend battery life, you can also disable background app refresh. Incidentally, this will also reduce traffic consumption when connected to Wi-Fi via mobile data.
-
On Android (may vary by model), if you want to limit background refresh for all apps, go to Settings → Network & Internet → Data Saver and turn on Use Data Saver.
-
i Phone : Go to Settings → Battery to check the battery usage of iPhone apps. If you want to turn off background app refresh, go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh and select Off.
DISABLE LOCATION TRACKING
The geolocation feature not only tracks you down, it also drains your phone’s battery. You can see which apps know where you’re going in “Settings – Passwords and security (or “Security and location”) – Location – Access requests.”
In an emergency, when the battery is almost dead, you can pull down the notification shade and disable GPS there for a while.
This article provides detailed information about what else to disable on your phone to speed up its operation and reduce battery consumption.
