Simple Step to Prevent Battery Drainage on iOS 7 And 7.1

Some people who have upgraded to iOS 7 have been experiencing battery drainage, some have been struggling to go a day with a single full charge..

Here are a few tips to help you reduce battery drainage..


Wi-fi and bluetooth are majorly ways battery gets drained, if you are not using those make sure they are totally turned off, iPad and iPhone being connected to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks when not in need drains the battery..

I would ask you to switch off cellular data as you won't receive notifications be it email, whatsapp messages or any other notification for that matter but you can choose which app to switch off to do this,

Go to Settings---->General---->Background App Refresh to choose apps that can work in the background.

Some functions don't require the internet like the AirDrop but could be using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to check for compatible devices, you might want to turn those off too, turn it off through the Control Center accessed by flicking upwards from the bottom of the screen..

Get into the settings, Go to Privacy--->Location services and find out apps that used GPS recently, switch off location services for apps that don't need it, make sure no app is running in background they deplete your battery and Data too..

Another thing to be wary off is the visual effects,animations introduced by iOS 7. Turn this off from the Settings--->General--->Accessibilty--->Reduce Motion..


If after all these and you still have this problem, you can reset your phone, there is been report from users that the problem stopped after reseting, you can do this through Settings--->General--->Reset, your data and apps will be intact, If you choose Erase All Content and Settings will reset your phone to factory settings, but you can install new copy of iOS 7 and do a full reset by connection the device to a PC or MAC then use iTunes to reset

Please also know that leaving your device plugged to the power after it 100% charged kills the battery and allow your battery to be completely drained every now and then to cycle battery...
