Depending on your device, you can:

• Let your screen turn off sooner-

  You can always set the screen display time to less seconds if you want your battery health to remain better. On both Galaxy and Pixel phones, you can open Settings > Display > Screen timeout, and then select among a number of options, from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.

• Reduce screen brightness-

  Smartphone screens are big, bright battery hogs. You probably don’t need your device turned up to the brightest setting. Go into your Display settings and turn down the brightness on the screen. You can manually turn the brightness of your phone down or you can set it to auto-brightness, which can help you and your eyes in the long run.

• Turn off keyboard sounds or vibrations-

  The Haptics go crazy in the newer phones but if you have to maintain a good battery health of your Android device. By disabling them, you reduce the amount of energy your phone needs to run these functions, leading to a longer battery life. 

• Restrict apps with high battery use-

  You can also restrict apps that drain the battery in the background when they are not even being run and you can stop these applications once you are not using them anymore. Open Battery > Background usage limits and enable Put unused apps to sleep to prevent apps from wasting battery life. You can go a step further and manually tell your phone to put certain apps to sleep. Select Sleeping apps or Deep sleeping apps, then tap the plus (+) icon and add your app to the list.

• Turn on adaptive battery-

  Adaptive Battery, a feature in Android, optimizes battery life by learning user habits and adjusting app activity accordingly. It prioritizes apps used frequently and restricts less-used apps to save power. Open Battery > Battery save > Adaptive Battery and turn on Use Adaptive Battery so apps you don’t use will work less in the background. You can also control individual apps from Apps > App battery usage. Select an app, tap App battery usage, and either disable it manually or tap Allow background usage and make sure the app is set to Optimized.
