As the world is evolving through the digital age, smartphones have taken priority in our lives. Also, particularly the iPhones. We all deal with hectic schedules on a daily basis. When you have a long day ahead and you are running out of charge on your iPhone, you really start panicking, especially if you are depending your communication with someone. So to help all of us cope with this problem, she is going to show you a trick that will help you decharge your iPhone slower.
If you’re one of those people – and I must admit to occasionally being one – then Apple’s Low Power Mode is a lifesaver. Rest assured, you can indeed get an extra couple of hours out of your iPhone’s battery by toggling on this mode. (Okay, so really you get less power consumption; either way, you get fewer “low battery” notifications.) Right, so there’s one caveat with Low Power Mode: those of you who experience it know that it is set to deactivate once your phone goes over an 80 per cent charge. But this is where a handy bit of automation through the Shortcuts app can get things back on track, by ensuring that Low Power Mode never again becomes a lonesome traveller hell-bent on saving you nearly as much battery as needed.
Tap open Shortcuts, and prepare to take a short walk through a simple setup meant to create a world of lasting gains. Don’t see the Shortcuts app on your home screen? Tap in your iPhone’s search feature and it will take you straight there. Inside of Shortcuts, tap through to the ‘Automation’ zone and let’s make some lasting power now.
Click on ‘New Automation’, scroll down to ‘Low Power Mode’, and tap into setting conditions. ‘When Low Power Mode is Turned Off’, you want your iPhone to spring to action, so tap into an action, and then select ‘Toggling Low Power Mode’ from the ‘Custom’ set. Turning off notifications makes for a smooth, quiet, background-to-foreground switch into power-saving mode, a form of efficiency all unto itself.
Second, select ‘Add Action’, then search, and then ‘Set Low Power Mode’. Having set your action to enable Low Power Mode, one final press on ‘Done’ will lock in your everlasting battery-saving companion. A tap to enable Low Power Mode via Settings or Control Centre will step you off to infinity and beyond.
Of course, you can regain manual control and turn off the automation to revert back. A few taps in the Shortcuts app get you out of the automation’s embrace. Go to the Low Power Mode automation in Shortcuts, tap the details, then tap the Run settings, and turn it off.
And adopting this approach doesn’t just harness the power of a longer-lasting battery. It also represents a further switch in how we use our devices, proof that there’s a place for automation, simplicity — and a touch of creative thinking.
Low Power Mode represents how we might use our devices in the future, and perhaps how they should function today: as something that bends to serve us, making use of a new era of digital sustainability. In short, this piece is not just about eking out some extra battery life, it’s a manifesto about the unrealised potential of shortcuts and automation, a repurposing of our relationship with our machines for the greater good. Turn the knob on your iPhone’s settings, open the Shortcuts app, and you’re turning a corner in the evolution of workflow, a smooth path unto digital serenity.
