Apple’s new iPhone features are cool, but disabling two of them could help your battery life.

Does your iPhone seem to be constantly dying? Even if you might not need to buy a new one just yet, some changes should undoubtedly be made. Perhaps you should use multiple cords to charge it or get a reliable power bank that will allow you to charge your iPhone wherever you are without needing a wall outlet.

To assist preserve the small battery you have, you might alternatively put your iPhone in Airplane Mode or permanently enable Low Power Mode.

Not all energy-saving advice is clear, though, and if you’re using iOS 16, there are new methods that can help you prolong the life of your iPhone’s battery.

In this article, we’ll discuss two iOS 16 features that use your iPhone’s battery in varied degrees and how you may disable them to extend battery life. What you should know is as follows.

Check out how to stop background apps from refreshing and how to replace your iPhone’s battery for more battery-saving tips and techniques (cheaper than Apple).

Your lock screen should be cleared of widgets.

Your lock screen’s widgets force your apps to run in the background and constantly fetch data so they can update the information they display, such as sports scores or the weather. Additionally, because your widgets keep these apps running in the background, they continuously consume power.

The greatest thing to do on iOS 16 to conserve battery is to simply ignore widgets on your lock screen (and home screen). The simplest approach to do this is to switch to a different lock screen profile; simply push down on your current lock screen and swipe through the options to find one without any widgets.

To simply remove the widgets from your current lock screen, however, press down on it, select Customize, select Lock Screen, tap on the widget box, and then press the “—” button next to each widget.

If you’re already low on battery, it’s best to just switch to a wallpaper that doesn’t have lock screen widgets.

Keep the haptic feedback on the keyboard off.

Surprisingly, haptic feedback, a feature that was recently added to iOS 16 that allows the keyboard on the iPhone to vibrate as you type, has never been available. With haptic feedback, each key vibrates in addition to making click-clack sounds, giving typing a more engaging experience. However, Apple claims that the same function can also have an impact on battery life.

The haptic feedback on the keyboard, according to this Apple support page, “may degrade the battery life of your iPhone.” It’s not specified how much battery life the keyboard feature actually consumes, but it’s best to keep it disabled if you want to save battery.

Thankfully, it is not turned on by default. To disable the haptic feedback for your keyboard, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback and toggle off Haptic.

You’ll experience a very slight vibration for each key you press each time you type.

The iOS 16 features Live Activities and the iCloud Shared Photo Library may also drain your power, even though they haven’t yet been launched. Keep an eye out for an update to this article that will explain how to turn off these functions.

In Apple’s most recent mobile software upgrade, iOS 16, there is a ton to learn.

To begin with, you can delete and edit emails and text messages, and you can quickly crop people or objects out of images with a single click. There are also a few undiscovered characteristics that you should be aware of.

However, not everyone likes every iOS 16 feature. For instance, the new iPhone’s search button on the home screen and unforeseen photo pop-ups are swiftly gaining a bad reputation.

Fortunately, the majority of these iOS 16 settings and features can be turned off or eliminated completely.

I’ll demonstrate how to “fix” the least popular new iOS 16 features. Additionally, while you’re here, check to see if you’ve modified these crucial iPhone settings and review two fresh Apple Maps features. Here’s how to download iOS 16 on a compatible iPhone if you haven’t already.

The home screen of your iPhone should no longer have the new search button.

The search function on your iPhone makes it simple to locate virtually anything on your phone or online, including text messages, third-party apps, files, notes, and locations.
You simply swipe down anywhere on the screen to reveal the search bar, as you are probably already aware.

Using a little icon just above your dock, iOS 16 by Apple gives a second option to access Search from the home screen.

But since it’s close to where your thumb would go while swiping between your several home pages, the new search button is simple to press by accident.

But you may disable this setting, much like many other new iOS 16 features. To remove the search button from your home screen, simply open the Settings app, navigate to Home Screen, and toggle off Show on Home Screen.

The Search bubble should vanish, and a few little dots representing your different home screens should appear in their stead.

Stop obtrusive, embarrassing photo popups on your iPhone’s display.

As a reminder of family vacations, couple photos, and holidays, Apple’s artificial intelligence helps surface photos and videos in various places across your iPhone. However, you might not always want your personal photos to appear unexpectedly, especially if they’re private, embarrassing, or inappropriate.

With iOS 16, you may now stop Featured Photos from appearing in photo widgets on your home screen, in the Search and For You areas of Photos, as well as in curated collections known as Memories.

Once Show Featured Content is turned off, featured photos and memories across your device should disappear.

Avoid cutting off your own phone calls by mistake.

You may fast sleep and wake up your iPhone by pressing the side/power button on its side, however if you do so while on a call, your call will be cut short. If you’ve experienced it in the past, iOS 16 now gives you the ability to stop it from happening.

If you don’t want the side button to end calls, go to Settings, Accessibility > Touch, and turn off Lock to End Call. If you accidentally press the side button, your screen will go to sleep, but you can continue your phone call without interruption.

This feature is hidden in the Accessibility section of your settings.

Use the previous iPhone lock screen notifications once more.

The most recent update by Apple adds widgets, font and color customization, a wallpaper gallery, a stylized date and time, as well as one notification change that was not seen. Notifications no longer appear at the top of your lock screen but rather at the bottom, where you can tap to make them fully visible.

However, this modification might not be well received by everyone. Launch the Settings app, then select Notifications > Display As to return to how notifications looked on iOS 15. Next, you’ll see three choices:

Count: At the bottom of the screen, notifications are displayed as a numbered count.
Stack: At the bottom of the screen, notifications are displayed in a stack.
List: Your screen is completely covered with notifications.

Selecting the List option will restore the previous notification format.
