Low battery notification on my iPhone can't be shut off

My low battery mode still repeatedly comes on, and it can’t be shut off…why?

Because Apple designed it that way.

This is a user-to-user forum; no one here can answer a question that contains “why”.

Low Battery warning is a built in feature that cannot be disabled. It also shouldn’t be ignored, because it means that the phone may shut down unexpectedly if not charged soon.

If you feel it should work differently the best place to suggest something to Apple is here→Product Feedback - Apple

Your answers are very thorough. And very obviously not cut & paste or a ChatGPT answer.

Hello

Do you have Low Power Mode on? This would automatically turn on the feature when you're battery is low to preserve battery until the battery reaches a higher charge.

1. Open Settings
2. Scroll down and tap on Battery
3. Toggle off Low Power Mode

Another possibility is you have Low Power Mode toggled on via Shortcuts or Focus modes.

1. Open Settings
2. Tap on Focus
3. Tap on a Focus mode (check all of them)
4. Scroll to the bottom (Focus Filters)

Do you have something like this? Please check all Focus modes for it!

If yes, tap on it and tap on Delete Filter. A confirmation menu will appear, tap Delete Filter again.

Shortcuts can also be used to toggle on Lower Power Mode. This can be more complicated to explain, but go through all of your shortcuts, through every line / command, and verify there is no Turn Lower Power Mode On command anywhere within the shortcut.

If this doesn't work, you are most likely dealing with a software issue. Try a Force restart iPhone - Apple Support. If that also doesn't work, you should consider setting up a Genius Bar appointment by an Apple Store near you to have it looked at - Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple.

This is not the end of the world

I don’t mind if my battery dies

what I do mind is being interrupted while I’m the middle of something to get me to say OK in the middle of my screen every single time it’s low

almost every day in fact

I'm sorry you feel this way. I will tell you that I did not copy and past my comment and I did go through all the settings to verify the steps and grab the screenshots to demonstrate what I was explaining.

There is a global setting / variable for Low Power Mode.

1. Open Settings
2. Scroll down and tap on Battery
3. Toggle off Low Power Mode

Regardless of how it was turned on (manually, Shortcuts, or Focus mode), you can toggle this button on or off and the effects will be system-wide. As an example, my Sleep Focus mode will turn on Low Power Mode. I use the Low Power Mode filter solely for the feature that, when enabled, will automatically lock the iPhone (turn off the display) after a certain time of inactivity. If I wake up in the middle of the night and forget to turn it off, Low Power Mode will ensure my iPhone will turn off and not consume battery. In the morning, I don't turn off my Sleep Focus mode right away as I enjoy the other filters I have (quieting notifications and people), but I do manual toggle off Low Power Mode via the setting mentioned above or via Control Center. In other words, I'm using the "global setting / variable" for Low Power Mode to toggle it off, even though my Sleep Focus is still on.

I understand your frustration about going down a "rabbit hole" to figure out where exactly you're toggling on Low Power Mode. However, there is no other way as these Focus modes were set up by you, so you'd need to go through and disable this feature within the specific Focus mode causing it. The same goes for the Shortcuts app, however, with Shortcuts the Low Power Mode toggle could also be within a shortcut you've downloaded from the Gallery.

You will need to go through all of your shortcuts and focus modes and verify this setting is not being toggled on anywhere. Alternatively, you can just delete all of your shortcuts and focus modes and also resolve the issue.

Thank you!! Your advice really helped.
