iPhone battery lasts longer if two settings turned off: Instructions
Whenever a new iOS update is released, many users inevitably encounter rapid battery drain. The latest version of the update is not immune to this issue, primarily associated with background processes that users cannot control, reports CNET.
Disable Haptic Feedback on your iPhone keyboard
Surprisingly, until iOS 16, the iPhone keyboard did not have the ability to vibrate during text input. This feature was added with the latest operating system update.
Instead of a simple sound accompaniment when pressing keys, Taptic Feedback now creates vibration, making the text input process more engaging. However, this feature can significantly reduce battery life.
It's important to note that this option is not activated by default. If you have enabled it and want to disable it, follow the steps below.
First, open the "Settings" app on your device. Then tap on the "Sounds & Haptics" option. Afterward, press "Keyboard Feedback." Finally, you can turn off the "Haptic" option to save battery life.

Remove widgets from the iPhone lock screen
Widgets are a useful feature on iOS devices, allowing users to quickly access information and perform tasks without having to open applications.
They can be added to the lock screen and the home screen for quick access. However, it is important to note that widgets can consume battery power, especially if they constantly update in the background.
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to conserve battery power, it is wise to create a lock screen without widgets. This can be easily done, starting with iOS 16, as the update supports multiple lock screens that can be easily switched between.
This way, you can have a lock screen with widgets when you need them and a more economical lock screen when you don't.
