Q&A

Why should I optimize battery charging?

Optimizing battery charging prevents wear and extends the lifespan of your battery by delaying charging to 80% until closer to when you typically unplug your phone.

How do I prevent connection to unsecured Wi-Fi networks?

Turn off 'Ask to Join Networks' to avoid prompts to connect to public networks that are often unsecured and potentially unsafe.

Why should I set mobile data options to 4G or LTE?

Using 4G or LTE instead of 5G helps conserve battery life, as 5G networks are still limited and consume more power.

Why should I enable automatic updates?

Enabling automatic updates ensures your iPhone always has the latest features and security patches, keeping your device up to date and protected.

How do I send high-resolution media in iMessage?

Turn off low-quality image mode in iMessage settings to send full-resolution photos and videos, preserving their original quality.
