Reduce your screen brightness and overall time.
When it comes to using up smartphone battery life, one of the worst culprits is the display: whenever your phone is in use, you are losing precious power. Chances are your smartphone screen brightness is much higher than It needs to be.
Solution
- It is good to reduce your phone’s brightness to low as your eyesight can manage. You should also consider disabling auto-brightness, which adjusts based on your perceived needs but can also increase your phone brightness higher than it needs to be.
- Turn on dark themes whenever possible to decrease battery use. This is because AMOLED screens only light the pixels needed for an image—if an image is completely black, all the pixels are off
- Turn off push notification, which can light up your display even when you re not using your phone, thus reducing battery life.
- When your smartphone battery is low, avoid doing anything that needs a lot of processing power, like playing games, watching videos, or using navigation apps

Enabling this feature might dim your phone screen, put it in black and white mode, and severely restrict what you can do with your phone. But it will double the battery life. This feature can be a lifesaver when you are stuck in Lagos traffic.
Close unnecessary apps
Most of us open apps and don’t bother to close them even after we are done using them.What you don’t know is that you’re losing battery juice when you are not even using these apps. Leaving them open will leave your battery at half-bar in no time.As often as possible, close apps that you are not using
