How to make WhatsApp consume less battery on iPhone
The biggest battery consumers on the iPhone or other smartphones are without a doubt the social media and chat applications. If you want the iPhone battery to last longer during the day and consume less storage space, in this tutorial you will see how to make WhatsApp consume less battery on the iPhone.
The sending and receiving of text messages, voice messages or voice or video calls will not be affected.
Unlike Telegram and other messaging applications, WhatsApp does not have a mode for saving energy, and the application runs processes in the background almost constantly. There would be nothing wrong with receiving an updated content when we open an application, only that in the case of WhatsApp it is not necessary. When you receive messages, they are delivered through the push notification system.
Two methods in which you can see how to make WhatsApp consume less battery on iPhone
Disable Background App Refresh for WhatsApp and disable the automatic download of media content and documents. The latter will save both battery and storage space.
Disable Background App Refresh for the WhatsApp application
1. You open Settings pe iPhone and go to General ? Background App Refresh.
2. In the list of applications from Background App Refresh come “Off” for the WhatsApp application.
Disables the automatic download of photos, videos and documents on WhatsApp
When you receive pictures, videos, audio or documents on the WhatsApp application, they are automatically downloaded in the application so that they can be viewed. I'm not talking about downloading them to the storage space, but only in the application.
This means that when a message with media content is received, the application will automatically download it so that the user can view it. It means that the iPhone processor is working, as is the battery.
To make the WhatsApp application consume less battery on the iPhone, it is best not to allow the automatic download of media content and documents.
1. Open the WhatsApp application and go to Settings the Storage and Data.
2. In Storage and Data, go to Media Auto Download and disable automatic download for: Photos, Audio, Video, Documents.
After you make these settings, a video received in a conversation will be able to play only after you click on it to download.
