I’m a tech expert– battery life will decline if ‘secret menu’ setting is ignored
YOUR Android phone battery could be dying quickly due to a setting within a secret menu.
The menu is hard to spot at first sight but could save you tons of battery life if implemented correctly.
The secret menu was revealed by tech expert TechTok (@howfinity) on TikTok which has 631,100 followers on the platform.
“Major boost to Android battery life! Try this now,” TechTok said in the video.
The battery saver is within the background app refresh on Android phones.
“There is an option for every Android that will significantly improve your battery life,” TechTok added.
“And that is stopping background app refresh. Let me show you how to do it.”
TechTok broke down exactly how to find the hidden background app refresh menu.
“This should work with any Android device,” they said.
“We need to go to the settings menu.
“On this menu go to app and notifications.”
The next step is to go to App info or Installed Apps
“This will show you all your installed apps and you will need to do it with every app that you use very frequently,” they explained.
Click on a high-usage App and it will bring up a screen with a few options.
First, press Advanced, then go to the Battery option.
This will show “Manage Battery Usage” and under that, it will say -Background restriction. App can use battery in background.
“There is an option called Battery usage and look at this, Apps can use battery in the background,” TechTok said.
You want to click “background restriction” and restrict it from using the battery.
“Click on this and restrict this App from using your battery in the background,” they explained.
“Now, once you do this with every single app that you use most frequently, you’ll see a major improvement in your battery life.”
