Low battery life is a major concern for most people with a smartphone. Many users are concerned about their location being turned on and draining their battery rapidly. Fortunately, there are several ways to prevent this from happening. This guide will explain how you can keep location from turning on when battery is low, giving you better control over your battery life.
Turn Off Geotagging
Geotagging is when your device records the location of photos and videos you take with your camera and uploads them to social media and other websites. Disabling this feature can help extend your battery life, especially if you are taking a lot of photos and videos.
To turn off geotagging, launch your device's camera settings, then scroll down until you see the location option. Toggle it off to disable geotagging.
Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Your device is constantly searching for nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices in order to save your data plan. This can cause your battery to drain quickly, so disabling these features can help conserve your battery life.
To turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, go to your phone's settings, then find the wi-fi and bluetooth options. Toggle them off to disable them.
Use Battery-Saving Mode
Many smartphones come with a battery-saving mode that helps to conserve your battery life when you are running low on power. To enable this mode, go to your phone's settings and find the battery option. Tap on it, then enable the battery-saving mode.
Reduce Location Services Settings
Your device constantly monitors your location in order to provide you with relevant information, such as traffic and weather. However, this can take its toll on your battery life, so it is best to reduce the location services settings.
To do this, go to your phone's settings and find the location option. Tap on it and then reduce the location accuracy to the lowest setting.
