Most iPads have great battery life. Depending on usage, a single charge can last for hours or even days. But as it ages and demands more software features and apps, the iPad’s durability starts to decline just like any other gadget. Thankfully, you can extend your iPad’s battery life in just a few steps. Here’s how to make your iPad more durable, let’s take a look!
Reduce transition effects on iPad
As you navigate the iPad’s software, such as opening or closing apps, you’ll notice a vivid transition. As beautiful as they look, they can have a serious impact on a tablet’s battery life. So if your iPad is losing power faster than you’d like, it’s a good idea to turn these effects off.
To reduce motion animation on iPad, go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and toggle the “Reduce motion” and “Prefer crossfade transitions” options.
Turn off power consumption
Out of the box, iPad supports almost everything Apple has to offer. This includes a range of power-hungry tools that can come in handy but take a toll on the tablet’s durability.
With True Tone, the color and temperature of the screen on the latest iPad models can automatically adapt to the lighting in a real-life environment. But it’s constantly getting information from the iPad’s sensors to function. So you can disable it from Settings > Display & Brightness > True Tone.
Handoff is a tool that lets you instantly do what you’re doing on your iPad on a Mac computer. Likewise, with Handoff, you can copy some text or a photo on one Apple device and paste it on another. To do this, your iPad is always syncing your data with iCloud in the background, consuming battery in the process. To turn off Handoff, visit Settings > General > Airplay & Handoff > Handoff.
Stop your iPad from counting your steps
Even if you’re not viewing the Fitness app on your iPad, it still counts your steps, the number of stairs you climb in a day, and other activities. You can turn off Fitness Tracking on iPad from Settings > Privacy & Security > Sports & Fitness.
Automated Low Power Modes
iPad is equipped with Low Power Mode, which reduces the amount of power it uses by reducing the intensity of certain functions. The only catch is that you have to manually turn on low power mode, and it doesn’t automatically activate when your tablet needs it. Thankfully, you can automate it from scratch on the built-in Shortcuts app.
Open the Shortcuts app on your iPad, then under the “All Shortcuts” section, tap the plus icon at the top. From the menu on the right, search for “low power” and select the “Set Low Power Mode” script.
Go back to the previous page, go to “Automation” and click the “Create Personal Automation” button. Select “Battery Level” from the list, then select the battery level at which Low Power Mode should be activated. Click Next, and then click Add Action. Search for “Run Shortcut,” select it, and touch the fuzzy “Shortcut” text. Select “Set Low Power Mode” and click “Next”. Click “Done” to save it.
Check out the apps that drain your iPad’s battery
On iPad, you can go to Settings > Battery to track which apps are consuming the most battery life. There are several ways you can act on such applications and reduce the energy they consume.
From Settings > Background App Refresh, you can prevent certain apps from connecting to the internet even if you’re not using them. Turning off the top option will prevent all installed apps from refreshing their content in the background to send e.g. notifications. Depending on the number of apps on your iPad, this setting can give your tablet a huge amount of battery power and improve its performance.
Additionally, you can determine which apps are allowed to access your location from Settings > Privacy & Security. If you don’t want the app to know your location, tap their name in the list and choose “Never” or “Ask Next Time.”
Prevent alarms from waking up your iPad
Notifications are serious battery killers, and it doesn’t help that every alert lights up your iPad screen. Limiting their impact can significantly improve your iPad’s battery life, and the best way to do this is to use iPadOS’s Schedule Summary feature. Schedule Summary Saves your notifications and gives you a summary of what you missed at a set time later. You can also choose to schedule summaries of alerts for apps that should be suspended, and create multiple schedules so you don’t get overwhelmed at once.
Navigate to Settings > Notifications > Schedule Summary. Turn on the toggles next to the apps you want to include, configure the summary time under Schedule, and you’re all set.
