Despite the spectacular advancement of technologies on smartphones and iPhones, rapid battery discharge has remained a problem for all mobile device manufacturers. We will hardly (or at all) find a top smartphone / iPhone whose battery will last more than 24 hours in intensive use. Most of the time the battery doesn't even last 12 hours if we run games, video content or video editing applications on the iPhone. Not to mention the weak 4G / 3G signal, which is a power eater.

Apple introduced "Low Power Mode" on iOS in order to increase the period of use of the iPhone, when battery reaches 20% at capacity.
The mode can be switched on automatically, and will be switched off when the iPhone is charging and the battery reaches 80% of capacity. We will know that this state is active by the yellow battery indicator.

This low battery mode stops some iOS services in order to save power. E-mail retrieval (email fetch), background app refresh, motion visual effects, automatic downloads and photo updates in iCloud Photos are stopped when “Low Power Mode" it is active.

"Low Power Mode” can be activated / deactivated manually from “Settings”→“Battery”Or from control Center.

If the general state of battery life (Battery Health) is not a very good one and it discharges quickly or if we are away in areas where we will not have power sources nearby, it is good that the energy saving mode is activated even if we have 100% battery. And so we don't forget to activate "Low Power Mode” or disable it by mistake, the best solution is to automate the permanent activation of this mode.

How to permanently activate "Low Power Mode” on the iPhone

Permanent activation of "Low Power Mode” can be done by automating the activation shortcut. We use the application Shortcuts a Apple, included by default with iOS 13, we can set a custom automation to activate this mode.

1. open application Shortcuts on the iPhone. If it was uninstalled, it can be reinstalled from App Store.

2. Click “Automation"At the bottom, then"Create Personal Automation".

3. In "New Automation"We run to"Low Power Mode”And click on this option.

4. Next, we need to define the automation conditions. Bifam “Is Turned Off”And uncheck the“ Is Turned On ”option, then clickNext".

5. Now we set the action that will be automated. Press "Add Action" and in the next screen, look for "Low power" and press the "Set Low Power Mode" from the list.

6. Once the action is added “Turn Low Power Mode On"Apasam"Next".

7. In the next screen we must be careful that the option "Ask Before Running" not to be active (green). We disable this option.

Once "Done" is pressed, the new automation will be active on the iPhone. Mode "Low Power Mode”Will be permanently active, whatever the energy value of the battery. Even when this state is manually disabled by the user. It will activate again.

Deactivation of the automation will also be done from the application Shortcuts, pressing "When Low Power Mode turned off"Where to disable"Enable This Automation".

While this mode is active, voice calls will not be affected. video. posts SMS or received on other chat systems.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
