Preserve iPhone battery by reducing brightness

By

Earlier we had seen how to turn on lower power mode automatically using shortcuts. This is another shortcuts tip to preserve iPhone battery by automatically reducing the brightness when iPhone battery falls below certain percentage.

Launch Shortcuts and tap Personal Automation.

Select Battery Level option and set the battery level to 50%

This automation will be triggered when the battery level falls below 50%. In the Actions screen, select “Set Brightness”

Reduce the brightness to 30% or whatever percentage you are comfortable with.

Turn off the “Ask Before Running” option.

This will ensure that the automation will execute without prompting you for the permission.

iPhone battery – automatically turn on low power mode

By

If your iPhone battery needs servicing but you want to delay the servicing and still get most life out of the battery then follow this tip.

I used to turn on lower power mode manually every time after a full charge. Instead of doing this manually we can use Shortcuts app for automating this option.

Launch Shortcuts app and tap “Create Personal Automation”

In the New Automation select “Charger” – When my iPhone connects to Power.

Under When select “Is Disconnected” then tap Next

Then add Actions, use the search option to pick Scripting.

In the scripting, select “Set Lower Power Mode”

Turn On the Lower Power Mode

Also make sure to turn off the “Ask Before Running”.

This will not prompt you before running the Automation.

The newly added Automation will be available under the Personal section.
