11 Battery Life Tips to prevent iOS 7 from draining fast
1) Turn off parallax
Parallax is fun and maybe makes you dizzy. Turn it off in accessibility settings
Settings>>General>>Accessibility and setting Reduce Motion to on.
2) Turn off AirDrop/Bluetooth
AirDrop is good when using AirDropping. Turn it off by swiping your Control Center and hitting the toggle.
3) Stop searching for Wi-Fi
Dont let your phone keep searching for Wi-Fi. Habit the habit of turning off Wi-Fi when leaving your house. Alternatively, go to Settings>>Wi-Fi and turn Ask to Join Networks to off.
4) Disable location services
Google Maps needs to know where you are but not other apps. Go to Settings>>Privacy>>Location Services to get the full list of the apps asking for your locations. Turn off unwanted locations services
5) Turn off background app updates
Immediately updating apps takes alot of battery. Go to Settings>>iTunes & App Store and see the Updates under Automatic Downloads. Turn it off.
6) Turn off background app refreshing
Downside of good multitasking is running things in the background. Go to Settings>>General>>Background App Refresh and disable background-running' for the apps that aren't important or all the apps
7) Disable auto-brightness
Auto-brightness looks better but drains alot of power. Go to Settings>>Wallpapers & Brightness and flip the toggle off. Push the backlight al the way down.
Go on a push notification diet
Not every app needs to push its notifications; that stuff takes power. Go to Settings>>Notification Centre and scroll down to the Include section. Then go on a toggling spree.
9) Don't push fetch notification
If your email isn't important, or related accounts, turn the low-priority ones to Fetch instead of Push. Go to Settings>>Mail, Contacts and Calendar>>Fetch New Data
