This hidden “vampire” feature drains your iPhone battery

If you feel that your iPhone battery is draining very quickly, that may be right. The device has a feature that you probably didn’t know existed.

It is and remains a nightmare when you see your phone’s battery draining bizarrely quickly. Of course that could be because you watch a lot of YouTube videos, for example, or spend a lot of time on social media. But there is also another feature that drains your battery.

The Netherlands is going well on this 3 series 😍

Turn off this “battery vampire feature” on your iPhone

So apparently there is one feature on the iPhone that drains the battery much faster than it needs to. Avoiding this feature helps keep your phone powered up longer.

But what exactly is the feature that has such an impact on the phone’s battery? It is a program that helps to maintain your internet connection when you are on the go. It’s called “Wi-Fi Assist.”

With Wi-Fi Assist, your iPhone stays connected to the Internet even when the Wi-Fi connection is weak. “For example, if you’re using Safari with a weak Wi-Fi connection and a web page won’t load, Wi-Fi Assist will activate and automatically switch to mobile data to continue loading the web page.”

This is how you take out this vampire

Rest assured: Wi-fi assist is easy to turn off. To do this, take the following steps.

Ge first to you Institutions on your iPhone. Then choose Mobile network. Then scroll all the way down past all apps that use data. Here you will find the Wi-Fi assistance, which can then be easily switched off.

It should be clear that it will not benefit your internet connection. But apart from extending the battery life of your iPhone, it has another benefit. Due to the fact that your phone does not automatically switch to cellular, you also save data.

So turning off this assistant is definitely worth it.
