15 Ways to Improve Your Phone’s Battery Life

3. Turn off Wi-Fi

The WiFi radio on mobile phones will be a constant drain on the battery life of the mobile device. The capability can see an even bigger usage when not in range of a known WiFi network by constantly working to ping the local networks to find one on the known network list. A proven technique to maximize battery life on a cell phone is to turn off the WiFi capability whenever traveling outside of the home or place of work where you do not expect to enjoy a wireless network with your phone. Android users are able to add a widget to the home screen of the phone to accomplish the task with one pus of a button, while iOS users will need to turn off the service via the “Settings” menu options on the mobile phone or by swiping up and using the Control Center of the phone to toggle the setting.
