Battery recharging

I got an iPhone 12 last week and was researching via youtube all the "first 10 settings" to change and saw there are a bunch of videos on how to extend your battery etc... now they say it's best to recharge when it gets to 20% and charge it to 80%. I always thought it was best to charge when you are about 10% and under and charge it to 100%. Is this one of those topics that changes all the time?

You are right, YT is wrong.

Modern iphones have “optimised charging”. If you charge overnight every night it will learn your waking times , then charge to 80% and stop. Then couple of hours before you wJe up it restarts the charge to 100% by your wakeup time.
