With the passage of time and the advancement of new technologies used in smartphones, it has become increasingly difficult to control battery consumption.
After all, some essential features on today's cell phones are precisely those that increase battery consumption and can suck all the energy out of the device quickly.

However, if you have noticed that the battery is draining faster than it should, know that there may be some “charge thief” draining that energy.
These “thieves” can range from poorly adjusted power settings to apps that run in the background without permission. Fortunately, in both situations, it is possible to solve the problem.
Keep reading and see, in the topics below, what to do to extend your battery life!
Set your Android phone to save battery automatically
The first way to save your smartphone's battery is by activating the so-called battery saving mode, or even “adaptive battery mode”, as described in some models.
When this setting is on, the phone will shut down any battery-draining activity in the background as soon as the power reaches a certain percentage.
The device can disconnect internet connections, decrease processor performance and even close applications in a compulsory way, all to save battery and maintain the most important functions of the active cell.
To activate battery saving mode, you must:
- Access the “Settings” menu of the device and then click on “Battery”;
- Then just click on “Battery saving mode” or similar, adjust the settings and activate.
That's it, doing this you will be configuring your phone to conserve battery automatically!
Regulate battery consumption of apps individually
The second way to reduce a smartphone's battery consumption is by configuring the functioning of the applications individually, in order to adjust them for automatic battery saving.
For that, you must follow these steps:
- Go to the “Settings” menu, then click on the “Applications” or “Apps” tab;
- Then click on an application and look for the option “Battery”, “Battery consumption” or something similar;
- Finally, choose the app's battery usage settings. On most Android smartphones there are options like “Unrestricted”, “Optimized” and “Restricted” or similar. Choose the “Restricted” option to determine how the app can use the battery.
Repeat this process for all apps installed on your Android device, or at least the ones you use the most. You will start to notice the difference in battery consumption right away.
