But what if you want to use Low Power Mode all the time? If you do, you can save a lot of battery life. If this sounds like something you want to do, this tutorial will show you how.
Activate Low Power Mode Permanently Using Shortcuts
To permanently turn on Low Power Mode on your iPhone, you need to create a shortcut. To get started, open the free Shortcuts app and tap the plus (+) icon in the top right-hand corner. Once you do that, you can create a new shortcut. Name your new shortcut, and then tap Add Action.
Once you tap Add Action, search for Set Low Power Mode. Once you see this, tap it.
Then, you need to add an If action and set the Input to Current Date and the Condition to Is Today. You can delete the Otherwise option, this won’t be needed. You should also leave the End If section empty. Once your shortcut is set up, it should look like this:
Now that you’ve made your iPhone shortcut, hit the Play button in the corner. This will enable the shortcut.
The shortcut will activate Low Power Mode permanently, meaning you can turn your iPhone off or charge it, and Low Power Mode will stay on. To turn it off, you will have to delete the shortcut.
Should You Leave Low Power Mode on Permanently?
Having Low Power Mode on doesn’t impact your device unless you constantly need background apps to refresh. For example, you won’t get new email notifications if you have Low Power Mode on. But, you can still read your new emails by opening the Mail app.
If you want to use all the features your iPhone has to offer, you might not like keeping Low Power Mode on. But, if you are more concerned about battery life, leaving it on will give you exactly what you are looking for.
