However, you know how to optimize the battery life of your iPad to make it happen? As much as you do not overdo the use and to try to make it takes to depend on another charge, the tablet has some built-in functions that end up consuming more energy and can be turned off without you miss any important function of the device.
After all, you really need that visual efeitinho to make the transition more beautiful screens or it can be disabled for the sake of a greater good? And that automatically download that you did not know existed, but it was there biting your battery throughout the week? They are with those little details that you need to watch.
So to help you in the arduous task of letting your iPad with charge longer, we brought a small function guide can be turned off or options that will help you improve the autonomy of your tablet.
However, please note that these are just tips and you do not have to follow them to the letter. So if you prefer to keep the connected Bluetooth is there for what reason, feel the urge to adapt these suggestions according to their usage profile. The iPad is yours and it's up to you how to use it.
Also, if you think appropriate, you can replicate these "tactics" on your iPhone, since both devices use the same operating system and therefore the two follow the same logic.
Turn off Bluetooth
And while we're on it, let's start with this resource that is one of the drum killers and a lot of people leave on for laziness: the Bluetooth.
Of course, sometimes it is needed and there is no problem in using it. However, the main tip is to only activate it when you really need. Thus, when finished sending a file to another device or is no longer connect to an accessory, remember to turn it off.
The good thing is that this configuration is very simple to be made, and can be accessed in two ways. The first is from the Settings menu itself, where the Bluetooth option appears logo in the upper left corner of the screen.
The other is the Control Center, which makes it more practical. So, just make a down move up in the tablet screen to turn off your Bluetooth and save a few good hours of battery life.
Stay aware of what lurks in the background
However, the larger iPad autonomy of villains are virtually invisible. Although they are really very useful, functions working in the background are the main responsible for the fast tablet power consumption. And the worst is that you hardly see it happening.
The good thing is that you can either stop this type of communication in all the applications at once or manage which can work with this feature and which need not always be connected or sending notifications at all times. A simple cleaning that list can now help you a lot in this regard.
To do this, go to Settings and then select the General option. Then tap Update on 2nd Plan.
By doing this, you will see what are the apps that are working in secret on your iPad and will be able to disable them. If you want a more drastic measure, it is possible to cut the connection of all these applications at once, but you can choose to either individually to not get completely dark when offline.
Silencing notifications
Similarly, the notifications that some apps to send you also help in the task of ending your battery. Just think that they are constantly connected waiting for any message or friend mentioned you to warn you about it.
And contrary to what we had in the background updates, notifications need to be switched off individually. It is a boring process and can be time consuming depending on the amount of installed programs, but without great mysteries.
Simply select the Notifications option, choose the application you want to disable and then select Allow Notifications.
Organizing your bills
This is a point that few people know and what, exactly so, just seeing the iPad battery disappear without knowing exactly why. After all, you know your email accounts are constantly looking for updates without you noticing?
Each integrated account to iOS constantly communicates with the system contacts to send alerts, events or even to warn you that new mail arrived. In other words, it is basically a combination of the notifications previously seen with the background refresh.
So if you do not use the iPad as the main workstation, it does not make sense to leave these options focused on productivity linked.
To turn them off, go to Settings and select Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Then choose the Fetch New Data.
In the new screen, you will see all the accounts linked to your tablet and the type of communication that it does. The Push is what consumes more energy by always looking for any update, so the ideal is always leave them in Get or even manual.
To save time, simply turn off the Push option at the top.
Nobody needs to know where you are
It is no secret that the iOS location services is one of the biggest battery hogs. However, the integrated GPS not only works with maps, Google Maps or the Waze. In fact, there are a number of apps that take advantage of geolocation service even when you do not want.
To choose which may work and which should be sent to limbo, go to Settings and choose the Privacy option. Then click Serv. Location at the top of the menu.
As in other cases, you can either cut any GPS communication and do this based on your usage profile. Some apps allow the location to be turned on only when needed while others need constant connection. So, check what you really need and make clean.
Final adjustments
Finally, you can still disable little known functions and are just there to make volume and swallow the battery of iPad. After all, you know what it is for the Spotlight?
Regardless of the answer, the truth is that it hardly ever been useful to you and you can turn it off completely from the Spotlight search option within the General option in Settings.
Also, you can still follow the good old recommendation only use what is really needed. It is not necessary to keep the screen brightness always at the most and you can pretty much leave your tablet in Airplane mode if you go be a while without using it or in a region that there is no internet connection.
Of course, these tips will not make the iPad battery will last for a few more weeks, but they will help you have a range of more time compared to what we had before. Moreover, just do not overdo it in games or applications that really make heavy use of the appliance and you will get to keep it away from the outlet for a satisfactory period.
