Performance changes when on Low Power Mode

My iPhone 5s performs well until I turn on Low Power Mode. Launching Control Center becomes laggy, launching of apps takes more or less than two seconds and the transitions and scrollings are not smooth. These happen when Low Power Mode is on. Is this my iPhone's way of preserving battery?

yes. Some tasks might not work until you turn off Low Power Mode, or until you charge your iPhone to 80% or higher.

Low Power Mode reduces or affects these features:

  • Email fetch
  • "Hey Siri"
  • Background app refresh
  • Automatic downloads
  • Some visual effects
  • Auto-Lock (defaults to 30 seconds)
  • iCloud Photo Library (temporarily paused)
