The increasing usage of smartphones has meant that most of us are using them more and more these days. We call, use internet, read news, do online shopping, book tickets, do online baking these days and use our smartphones for various other purposes. The convenience and comfort is something that has made our lives much easier and hassle free. But doing so many things puts a big strain on the batteries of our smartphones. I will list some steps that you can adopt to help your smartphone battery last longer.

Charging battery frequently: The smartphones we use have big batteries so that we do not need to charge them again and again. But a lot of people are in the habit of charging them frequently and this is something that must be avoided. By charging your battery a lot of times you are putting extra strain on the battery and this will only have a negative impact on the life and performance of the battery. It is advisable to charge your smartphone battery when it gets really low. This will keep the battery in good health and ensure that your smartphone does not run out of charge after every few hours. Leaving your smartphone on charging overnight is also not a good habit and must be avoided as much as possible.

Using third party chargers: Many people have the habit of using third party or cheap chargers to charge their smartphones. This is something that really harms the battery and your smartphone a lot. There is no point in spending 500 dollars on a smartphone and charging it with a cheap battery. Most of the brands also recommend that your phone must be charged with only the supplied charger. These third party chargers can also cause damage to your smartphone. So you must avoid this mistake and always charge your phone with the company provided charger.

Switch off Data when not required: Data is something that most of us use on our smartphones. But it also uses a lot of battery and all the applications you have on your smartphone also drain your smartphone battery. When you do not need data it is best to switch off data as it will help your battery last longer. You also might have some unwanted applications on your smartphone that you may not be using anymore. It is better to go ahead and uninstall them and it will also help in saving your smartphone battery.
