IPHONE users have been warned that there are three hidden buttons that are drastically reducing your devices battery life.
Mobile batteries are known for getting worse over time – in worst case scenarios, users have to carry portable chargers around and give their gadgets battery boosts throughout the day.
This can be incredibly stressful for users, who might need Google Maps to get home or send an urgent text to a family member.
However, even if your device is a few years old, you shouldn’t need to replace it just because the battery life has dwindled.
Instead, you should be able to improve its ability to hold charge with just a few simple clicks.
The widgets on iPhone lock screens, such as the weather or calendar updates, all run in the background and are constantly using data to keep them updated.
This means that they are draining power, even when you are not using your phone.
Turning off your widgets completely is the best way to save power, and the easiest way to do this is to switch to another lock screen, that doesn’t have any widgets on it.
To do this, simply press your finger down on your existing lock screen, and then scroll across to a lock screen that doesn’t have any widgets.
Or, if you want to remove the widgets from your existing lock screen, you can hold it down, click on customise, tap on the widget box, and then delete any widgets that you don’t want.
The iPhone user interface uses animations, such as the pop of colour that appears when you activate Siri and the ‘slam’ effect that makes text messages seem to pop out of the screen.
Whilst these can be fun and entertaining, they are very draining for your battery.
If you want subtler animations, that use less power, you can use this by heading to Settings, clicking to Accessibility and then Motion and Reduce Motion.
iPhones have a feature called “haptic feedback” which gives each key a vibration.
This feature was added to iOS 16 to give users a more immersive experience.
However, according to the Apple support page it “might affect the battery life of your phone.”
Apple does not explain why this drains battery, but its best to turn this feature off if you’re keen to conserve your battery.
Haptic feedback is not enabled by default, but if you have turned it on, you can easily disable the feature.
Here are some of the best...
Simply go to Settings, Sounds and Haptics, Keyboard Feedback and then turn off Haptic.
If you want to check your battery health, you can do this by heading to Settings, Battery and then Battery Health and Charging.
This feature allows you to check your battery health percentage (anything over 80% is considered good) and will show you whether your battery is “normal.”
When your battery health has begun to dwindle, you may be tempted to fork out for a new handset.
However, this can cost you hundreds, and means you are wasting an otherwise perfectly good phone.
Instead, head to the Apple store, and you can replace your iPhone battery for a much cheaper cost.
LIONEL MESSI asked to be substituted during Argentina’s 1-1 draw with Colombia.
The Inter Miami superstar, 37, has been back in action with the reigning world champions this month having missed the March international break.
Messi started as Lionel Scaloni’s men took on Colombia in Buenos Aires.
Argentina have already comfortably qualified for next summer’s World Cup finals, but regardless the match turned out to be a feisty affair.
Liverpool star Luis Diaz gave Colombia a first half lead courtesy of a brilliant solo goal.
The game reached a major flashpoint on 70 minutes, when Enzo Fernandez was sent off for kicking Kevin Castano in the head with a high challenge.
Fernandez’s tackle prompted a scuffle between the two teams, as Castano dramatically writhed around on the ground.
Amid the melee, Messi exchanged harsh words with Colombian counterpart James Rodriguez.
Argentina’s legendary No10 is said to have been unhappy about Rodriguez claiming that his side had gotten lucky with refereeing decisions during last year’s Copa America final triumph.
Messi then appeared to get away with throwing an elbow towards Crystal Palace star Daniel Munoz.

The former Barcelona star was somewhat surprisingly substituted on 78 minutes, as 10-man Argentina chased an equaliser.
But it proved to be an inspired choice, as his replacement Exequiel Palacios teed up Lyon‘s Thiago Almada to equalise in the 81st minute.
After the game, Scaloni explained the decision to take off Messi.
The Argentina boss said: “Leo wasn’t going to come off, but he ended up coming off near the end.
“He told me it was better for him to come off, and so we decided to change him.
“The good thing we always showed, with 10 men and without Messi, is that we kept looking, not giving up on a ball. That makes us very satisfied.”
Argentina are 10 points clear of second-placed Ecuador in the South American World Cup qualifying standings.
Messi and Co will conclude their qualifying campaign with matches against Venezuela and Ecuador in September.
