Many iPhone owners know the dread of seeing the 'Low Battery' notification appear on the screen. But Apple has shared three settings users can adjust to double their smartphone's battery life. These settings include auto-brightness, Auto-Lock and adjusting access to your location.

The features are set to a default level but can be easily changed with a simple toggle. Auto-brightness is a feature on electronic devices that adjusts the screen brightness based on the surrounding lighting. It uses built-in light sensors to detect the ambient light levels, improving readability, reducing eye strain and extending your device's battery life when at the right setting.
To find auto-brightness, open Settings and tap Accessibility. Once in display and accessibility, select display and text-size. Then, scroll to auto-brightness and toggle the option off. This will stop the device from automatically adjusting to the surrounding environment.
Apple has shared three settings users can adjust to double their smartphone's battery life. These settings include auto-brightness, Auto-Lock and adjusting access to your location. Enabling Night Shift from this menu will also aid in extending battery life.
This feature works similarly to auto-brightness by using the time and geolocation of an iPhone to determine when it's sunset in your location, reducing the brightness to appropriately adjust to the light around you. This feature automatically turns off and locks the device after a set period of inactivity, which was designed to conserve battery life.
