How to optimize battery life for devices running iOS 8

Apple has always brought great features and applications for you to experience, but in parallel, the battery life on the device has also been greatly reduced. Here are a few tips to help you optimize available battery life and prolong the life of your battery. 

Battery life is always a top concern when using a smartphone in general and iOS devices in particular. Since the advent of iOS 8 , many improvements for the benefit of users have been updated. However, there are real features you never need to use them but it still runs underground and consumes a lot of device battery. 

1. Turn off the apps that drain the most of the battery

Settings >> Privacy >> Location Services to see a list of applications capable of accessing your location.

These are three new options that have only appeared on iOS 8, before that only two were ON or OFF. Depending on your needs, choose the appropriate option, but it is best to choose the While Using option to both save battery power and be able to use the Location Services function when needed. In case you need to save maximum battery, you can turn off Location Services completely.
