But Facebook? Do you really want all your &#8216;friends&#8217; to know where you are every time you post? Go to settings &gt; privacy &gt; location services and disable the feature on the apps you don&#8217;t need it for. If your phone is constantly calculating and communicating your location, it&#8217;s bound to use up loads of juice.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Turn off your auto-brightness<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need your screen to be <i>that<\/i> bright. Go to Setting &gt; Wallpapers &amp; Brightness and turn it off. Manually decrease or increase the screen brightness as you need it, depending if you&#8217;re inside or outside. And if you&#8217;re really low on <a title=\"pa3536u-1brs laptop battery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/toshiba\/pa3536u-1brs-battery.htm\">Pa3536u-1brs Battery<\/a>, crank it down to as dark as you can handle.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. <b>Turn off Parallax<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Have you noticed your icons shift when you move your phone around? That dizzying feature is called Parallax. It&#8217;s kind of annoying and you don&#8217;t really need it. Go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Accessibility and turn the Reduce Motion on.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Turn off background app updates<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all guilty of forgetting to close our apps. It&#8217;s one of the quickest ways to drain your <a title=\"presario cq45 laptop battery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/hp\/presario-cq45-battery.htm\">Presario cq45 Battery<\/a>. But on iOS 7, if apps are running in the background, they&#8217;re also updating. Turn this off by going to Settings &gt; General &gt; Background App Refresh.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Disable push notifications<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need push notifications for <i>every<\/i> application. That stuff takes power. Fine, you might be desperate to know when you have new lives on Candy Crush, but maybe not for Angry Birds. Go to Settings &gt; Notifications Centre and scroll down to the Include section. Then start toggling those bad boys.<\/p>\n<p><b>6. Fetch, don&#8217;t push emails<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Automatically &#8216;pushing&#8217; new emails takes up loads of battery power. You&#8217;ll immediately notice the difference in your battery&#8217;s longevity when you change your email settings to &#8216;Fetch&#8217; . Go to Settings &gt; Mail, Contacts and Calendar &gt; Fetch New Data. If you have access to multiple email accounts on your phone, change them all to Fetch and keep your main account on Push.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple iPhone latest operating system: iOS 7 is full of fancy new features, but you don&#8217;t need to use all of them, all the time.
