Tricks for smartphone battery
Saving battery on iPhone, Android and Windows Phone is possible through five precautions.

- iOS: if you have an iPhone you can deactivate an app in the background by double clicking on the Home button , and then swipe upwards from the App window.
- Windows Phone: If you have a smartphone with Windows Phone, you can reduce battery consumption by holding down the back key for a long time. Tap on the X of the app window and disable the ones that are currently running.

To find battery-consuming apps, you need to navigate your smartphone.
- Android: click on Settings> Battery (or Energy) and, if you have a Samsung, click on Battery Consumption or Battery Use , if you have a Huawei click on Energy consumption in the background . Attention, for messaging apps such as WhatsApp that need energy, to understand their consumption you will have to disable the energy saving function from the App for energy saving mode .

5. Turn off GPS
The GPS function is used to locate your position via satellite. It is very useful when using the navigator but only in that case, so I would avoid keeping it active. To deactivate it you need to:
- Android: nearly from top to bottom on your display to access the control panel section and deactivates the voice Geolocation or position .
- iOS: go to Settings> Data Protection and disable Geolocation Service or provide consent for some exceptions through the list of Apps, selecting the item Only in case of use .
