Adding Low Power Mode to your iPhone's Control Center allows for quick and convenient access to this battery-saving feature. Once added, you can easily toggle it on or off with a single tap, helping to extend your iPhone's battery life when needed.
Adding Low Power Mode to Control Center
To add the Low Power Mode toggle to your Control Center, follow these straightforward steps:
- Open Settings: Tap the Settings app icon on your iPhone's home screen.
- Navigate to Control Center: Scroll down and tap on Control Center.
- Customize Controls: Under the "Included Controls" section, you'll see features already present in your Control Center. Below that, find the "More Controls" section.
- Add Low Power Mode: Locate Low Power Mode in the "More Controls" list and tap the green + (plus) icon next to it. This will move it to your "Included Controls," making it accessible from the Control Center.
Using Low Power Mode from Control Center
Once Low Power Mode has been added to your Control Center, activating it is quick and simple:
- Open Control Center: Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone's screen. For iPhones with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
- Locate and Tap: Find the battery icon within the Control Center, which represents Low Power Mode. As mentioned in the reference, you just need to tap this icon to toggle the feature on or off.
- When Low Power Mode is active, the battery icon in the status bar will turn yellow.
Benefits of Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode is designed to temporarily reduce power consumption by limiting certain background activities until you can fully charge your iPhone. When enabled, it typically:
- Reduces display brightness.
- Optimizes device performance.
- Disables automatic downloads.
- Reduces visual effects.
- Pauses background app refresh.
- Limits email fetch.
- Turns off 5G (except for video streaming and large downloads on some models).
This feature is invaluable for prolonging your iPhone's charge when you're running low on battery and don't have immediate access to a charger.
