Maximize battery life on your Apple Watch with these easy hacks!
If you own an Apple Watch, you know that the battery life can sometimes be a challenge.
Whether you’re a power user or just need your watch to last all day, these battery life hacks can help you get the most out of your device.
Getting Started
This guide is for anyone who wants to extend the battery life of their Apple Watch.
Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast who uses your watch to track workouts, a busy professional who needs to stay connected all day, or just someone who wants to get the most out of their device, these tips can help.
How To
- Adjust your screen brightness. Go to Settings > Brightness & Text Size and adjust the slider to a lower setting. This can significantly extend your battery life.
- Disable unnecessary features. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn off features like Auto-Play Message Effects and Reduce Motion.
- Use Power Saving Mode. This will limit some features, but can help your battery last longer. Go to Settings > Battery and turn on Power Saving Mode.
- Turn off Always-On Display. If you don’t need to see the time all the time, turn off this feature. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and turn off Always-On Display.
- Close unused apps. Swipe up on the watch face to see your open apps, then swipe left or right to close them.
- Use Airplane Mode. If you don’t need to be connected, turn on Airplane Mode. This will turn off all wireless features and save battery life.
- Limit notifications. Go to Settings > Notifications and turn off notifications for apps you don’t need to see on your watch.
- Use a black watch face. The Apple Watch Series 5 has an always-on Retina display that can show a black watch face without using much battery life.
Best Practices
- Adjust your settings based on your usage. If you use your watch heavily throughout the day, you may need to adjust your settings differently than someone who only uses it occasionally.
- Charge your watch overnight. This will ensure that your watch is fully charged when you start your day.
- Keep your watch updated. Apple frequently releases updates that can improve battery life and fix bugs.
- Consider a battery pack. If you’re going to be away from a charger for an extended period of time, consider getting a battery pack to keep your watch charged.
