3. Turning off Auto Brightness will help your battery last longer

Having the brightness up drains the battery super fast, and the Auto Brightness feature keeps it up pretty high.

In Settings, scroll down to Display and Brightness and then tap the toggle labeled Automatic.

If you need your screen to be brighter, just swipe the control panel up from the bottom of the screen and adjust it manually (and remember to turn it back down when you are in lower lighting).

I have an iPhone 6s that I love. It has to be charged every night. If I stream a lot of music, I have to charge more often than that.
