Keep your Apple Watch battery going for days with this simple change

The Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra are available now, and they bring a host of exciting new features. However, thanks to watchOS 9, users with Apple Watch Series 4 and later can now use Low Power Mode, which will further extend smartwatch battery life.

Low Power Mode is an upgraded version of Power Reserve, which disables almost all of the watch’s functions when turned on. Instead, this power saving feature will turn off some Apple Watch features while still keeping everything else running. It’s a handy tool to use, especially if you want to push your Apple Watch’s battery through a day without charging.

Need to extend battery life? Here’s how to turn on Low Power Mode on Apple Watch.

How to turn on Low Power Mode on Apple Watch
When Low Power Mode is turned on, Apple Watch will disable always-on display, heart rate notifications, background heart rate measurements, background oximetry, and reminders to start a workout.

Also, if your iPhone isn’t nearby, it turns off Wi-Fi and cellular connections, as well as incoming calls and notifications. It also affects the speed of certain features: making calls may take longer, Siri may take longer to respond, animations may appear less fluid, etc.

Other than that, your Apple Watch will work as usual—while saving battery power. With the flick of a switch, you can even set when it’s on. Proceed as follows:

1. To turn on Low Power Mode, swipe up on the watch face to open Control Center.
2. Tap the battery percentage icon.
3. On this display, toggle the Low Power Mode switch to turn it on.
4. A message will pop up. Scroll to the bottom and select Open.
5. A yellow circle icon will appear at the top of the Apple Watch display to indicate that Low Power Mode is on.

You can also turn on Low Power Mode in your Apple Watch‘s settings.

1. On Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown to access your apps.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Scroll down and select Battery.
4. Turn on Low Power Mode.
5. The same message will pop up. Scroll to the bottom again and select Open.
   You can also choose how long the low power mode stays on when the message pops up. You can choose 1 day, 2 days or 3 days.

When your Apple Watch battery drops below 10%, an alert will sound asking if you want to turn on Low Power Mode. It will stay on until you turn it off, or until your battery reaches 80%.
