Tech Tip Tuesday: Looking to extend your smartphone’s battery life? One effective way is to manage which apps can refresh in the background. Here’s how to adjust this setting:
- On iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. From there, you can turn it off entirely or select specific apps to disable. This prevents apps from updating content when not in use, saving valuable battery life.
- On Android: Navigate to Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Battery optimization. Choose apps to restrict from running in the background.
Reducing background activity not only helps with battery life but can also reduce data usage—a win-win for mobile users! 📱🔋💡
