How to save power when battery is low

You get the dreaded low power message and you are an hour from any place to charge the phone.

It happens to everyone and, in fact, in 2018's survey by USA TODAY, more than 75 percent of people polled said longer battery life was their top desire for a phone.

Luckily, battery life is improving, but sadly not very quickly, according to ComputerWorld.

Here are some things you can do to save power:

– Turn off background apps like GPS-based services of maps or games. Turn off notification services.

– Turn off location services.

– Disable apps that use the most power in the background. If you check your battery section you'll probably see that apps like Facebook, WhatsApp or Amazon are sucking power out of your battery. You can disable some background features of apps by looking through the apps settings. In Android 9 phones or higher, you can restrict an app's access to background battery power.

– Put the phone in airplane mode and turn off bluetooth.

– Just turn off the phone completely.
