You can probably save more energy more easily by installing a shortcut that automatically sets your phone to Low Power Mode at 80% battery.
What functionality are you sacrificing by going into low battery mode?
Background network refreshes in apps mostly. You still get push notifications, messages, and phone calls. New emails are only downloaded when you open the app.
Ah, that’s not too bad. Thanks!
What a great idea. I never think to reach for automations.
I can’t take the credit for it. I read it somewhere else and started using it on my own phone
I’d be curious to know what the battery drain difference between native and third party apps might be. I mainly use the native reminders/weather/battery widgets, but I wouldn’t be able to tell that these have had any noticeable impact on my battery life.
