How to Keep Your iPhone Permanently in Low Power Mode
1 min read
Summary
Low Power Mode on iPhones can be manually turned on at any time via the phone’s settings, or by adding a shortcut to the phone’s control centre.
When activated, low power mode automatically turns off 5G, locks the phone’s screen after 30 seconds, reduces screen brightness and halts several background functions such as iCloud sync and automated email fetch.
These changes collectively lower the phone’s power consumption, which helps to extend battery life.
For people who are travelling or who have older iPhone models, there is a way to keep low power mode on permanently, regardless of battery charge level.
This can be achieved using the iPhone’s Shortcuts app to create an automation, which should come preinstalled on the device.
When creating the automation, after selecting the battery level option, users should select the option “Falls below 100%”, and make sure to check the “Run Immediately” option.
After this, select the action “Set Low Power Mode” and the automation is set up.
