How to Enable Low Power Mode on iPhone and iPad: A Comprehensive Guid?

To enable Low Power Mode on an iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:

  1. In Settings: Go to Settings > Battery and toggle on Low Power Mode.

  2. In Control Center:

    • Open Control Center (swipe down from the upper-right corner on iPhone or iPad with notch, or swipe up from the bottom edge on iPad with Home button).
    • If the Low Power Mode icon is not present, go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls and select the plus icon next to Low Power Mode to add it to Control Center.
    • Tap the Low Power Mode icon in Control Center to turn it on or off.

Keep in mind that Low Power Mode reduces or affects features such as:

  • 5G (except for video streaming) on iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models
  • Auto-Lock (defaults to 30 seconds)
  • Display brightness
  • Display refresh rate, limited up to 60 Hz on iPhone and iPad models with ProMotion display
  • Some visual effects
  • iCloud Photos (temporarily pause syncing)
  • Automatic downloads
  • Email fetch
  • Background app refresh

Low Power Mode automatically turns off when the battery is charged up to 80% or higher.
