Can I permanently enable Low Power Mode on my iPhone?

Can I permanently enable low power mode. It seems like this would be a sensible modification that Apple could make so that less power is used worldwide?

You can set Low Power Mode to ON and it will remain ON until you turn it OFF.


Open Settings ➡️ Battery ➡️ Low Power Mode: Set this switch ot ON.


Note: Your iPhone will have some features OFF during Low Power Mode. More information on that here 👉 Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone

No and while your reason for suggesting this is I'm sure in the best interest of the world, it would cripple users abilities to do certain things on their phones if it was made a permanent option. The purpose of low power mode is to prevent the phone from dying when you aren't in a position to charge your phone, but can't afford to have your phone shutdown. As such it reduces the load on the battery and stops some features from running to conserve power.


That said, finding ways to do things using less power, while maintaining a phones ability to do everything it was designed to do, is certainly altruistic and maybe one day, they will learn how to make phones use less power and last longer. The technology isn't here yet.

Yes, sure it’s true that it curtails what you can do with the phone but surely if you are happy with the reduced ability of your phone it should be an option to leave your phone on low power. It might not be for everyone but those who don’t need those abilities on their phone and those with older phones whose batteries run out very quickly would benefit.

Then tell Apple what you think they should offer --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
