How to disable intentional slowdown iPhone. How to increase iPhone battery life by disabling unnecessary features? If your iPhone is slowing down
Every release of a new operating system comes with a bunch of quirks and annoying features. iOS 10 is no exception, but fortunately, most of these "features" can be easily fixed.
Unlocking your phone now works in a completely different way. "Slide your finger across the screen has now completely disappeared and is unlikely to ever return. Now you have to click on the button Home to unlock your phone. If you do not want to constantly press the Home button to unlock, then this can be easily fixed. To do this, do the following:
- Go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Home.
- Turn on the option "Opening with a Finger".
Your phone will now unlock when you place your finger on the Home button. You don't need to click on it anymore.
Turn off the ability to reply to messages from the lock screen
If you are concerned about your privacy and you are not a fan of "how easy it is to reply to messages from the lock screen", then you can disable this feature:
- open "Settings" -> "Touch ID and passcode".
- Enter your password.
- Drop down to "Reply with a message" and disable this option.
You will no longer be able to reply to messages from the lock screen, which will help keep your privacy safe. There are also other applications that can reveal themselves somehow on the lock screen. So be very careful with them. If you feel uncomfortable with apps that can be controlled from the lock screen, then don't let alerts appear there.
Turn off "Raise to Wake"
This feature automatically turns on the backlight of the screen when you pick up the phone, but it does not do this for everyone. If you are tired of it or it turns on the screen too often, or at the wrong time, then you can simply turn it off:
- Head to "Settings" -> "Display and brightness"
- Disable the option "Raise to activate."
Clear Spotlight search results
For some reason Spotlight likes to save your searches when you enter the search menu. It shows you ALL of your searches. There is no way to remove them as such. However, you can disable this feature:
- Head to "Settings" -> "General" -> "Spotlight Search"
- Uncheck the box next to " Siri Suggestions.
These actions will of course disable the search suggestions in Spotlight, but at least it will clear the cache with search queries.
Prevent apps from being automatically added to messages
Messages now has its own iMessages app store, where you can add various small utilities and stickers to messages. Beyond that, older apps can add their own iMessage extensions.
For example, the popular app Yelp and OpenTable have iMessage extensions that allow you to search for restaurants directly from Messages. This is of course excellent, but unfortunately the settings iOS 10 make the addition of these extensions automatic, without your participation. It can be fixed:
- open "Messages" and click on the arrow icon -> " Applications".
- Click on the icon with four circles in the lower left corner. Then to the Store icon.
- Click on the bar "Control".
- Switch "Automatically add apps" into position "Switch off".
Now you will need to add the applications that you want to use yourself.
Disable Safari Autocomplete for Contact Information and Email
IN safari now there is a special QuickType a keyboard that gives suggestions for personal information when you fill out any forms. It's convenient for some people, but annoying for everyone else. This can be turned off:
- Go to "Settings" -> "Safari" -> "Autocomplete".
- Turn off "Use contact information, names, passwords and credit cards".
More safari will not offer you autocomplete for forms.
Disable "Reduce Motion" if effects are not working
If you're playing with the new messaging app and can't open the effects panel, then there's a good chance you have the option enabled "Reduce Motion". To return these effects, do the following.
0Confirmation that iOS has become less user-friendly. Let's say what they did with the spotlight.
@iGeek , spotlight hasn't changed anything in terms of functionality and how it's used compared to the old experience
Everything that was in the “user-friendly times” is still at the same level, it hasn’t gone anywhere, there’s no need to relearn, the entry threshold has not changed
@Shannon , Spotlight functionality doesn't change the point. It means that earlier it was easier for a beginner to find it. Logically, he was on the left.
It is logical that iOS grows and it becomes more complex. It is clear that it will take a new user longer to master iOS 7 than iOS 2. But many things have become incomprehensible, the same slide that unlock has become less understandable. How to turn on music from a closed screen (control) is not clear. It used to be 2 times home. The inscriptions-buttons are also thrown into confusion.
Of course, the application has the right to exist. But it's better to install it from the app store. And it's not in the spirit of Apple.
@dimsonclear, and even earlier (ios5) 2 times on home opened the camera. Yes, you certainly know better what is in the spirit of Apple
Everything you listed to be new to ios instantly or in a minute, checked. Now everything is just more intuitive.
“The grass used to be greener” reasoning
@Shannon, you do not need to be a person with an Apple brain, but consciously understand what and how. Jobs always wanted to make everything super-simple. Even the complex professional programs Aperture and Logic Pro, despite their complexity, are very understandable and intuitive. And a huge role in understanding is played by the imitation of real objects, toggle switches, switches and light bulbs. At one time, it was possible to understand what sustain, arpeggio, and so on. There are no instructions for the Mac itself. Just sat down and went.
I think top-down swipe spotlight is stupid.
In the list, when it's hidden, it's ok. You have a list of contacts, but the search does not take up space, if anything - here it is next. But on the main, it is still unusual.
The functionality is on top and continues to amaze. But the design, I think Forstal is a genius, is not because of the textures. And because of how he made the system itself. Let it be flat.
And about the grass - the application Music. Quiet horror, when rewind, buttons and volume are in a heap, and the finger every now and then gets in the wrong place. The music player has been improved. There is a lot of empty space on the screen, and it is not used rationally in any way. Then instead of switching songs >> I get to the maximum volume, then vice versa.
@dimsonclear , wow, how everything is running ... Unusual and uncomfortable are two different things
I switched with great success to ios7 (and now to ios8) - because now all the actions that I did before, I began to do stupidly elementary and faster, take less with the device, more results. It feels like we have different ios7
@Shannon why are you all so evil?
Functionality is ok. Design is not. Lots of elements that break the rules in design. It is even more correct to say that the rules of industrial design apply in the world of computer graphics. The same mesh that is needed for shape fillets, shape slices, is used in icon fillets. Yes, the pixel transition has become more rounded, good. This grid is complete crap, which does not carry any functionality in itself.
The same helvetica was stuck in yosemite when it was not suitable for small sizes.
Even the designer (can't remember the name) who designed this typeface said that it wasn't suitable for small sizes. Deposits yes.
Everyone loves Jobs and Forstall, but ordinary users don't understand why they love them. Everyone loves it and so do I. Something like this…
>Unusual and uncomfortable
You are already nitpicking on words. Ok, let's be objective.
I'll give an example:
Notice right away that lists are actually tables. Horizontal or vertical.
Here we have a list of contacts, scrolling up and down. Search - continuation of the list (if you look from the bottom up).
Below I have shown the iOS 6 screens. The “list” of screens is horizontal.
Even lower is the iOS 7 screen. The scroll arrows intersect. It seems to be necessary to scroll left and right, but there is an intersection. And not just an intersection, but with Notifications and Control Panel.
That is, a person already needs to master:
1. if he pulls down from the screen - this is a search
2. if he pulls from top to bottom from the edge of the screen - these are notifications
3. if he pulls up from the bottom of the screen - this is the control center
Of course, there are pluses: the search is available from any home screen, “no need to go to -1 floor”. But nevertheless, in iOS 7, the modular table is already much more complicated than it was. And since it’s more complicated, then it needs instructions on how to use it.
Many users iOS 8 dissatisfied with the new operating system. In addition to a huge number of bugs and shortcomings, the developer has installed many functions that, in Everyday life just no use. The community's outrage was so strong that many media outlets did not miss the opportunity to write about the excessive functionality of the operating system.
The popular magazine "Popular Mechanics" on its pages has compiled the top 10 unnecessary iOS functions that, according to statistics, are turned off by almost every user. If you also have a desire to get rid of such features of iOS 8, then we will describe in detail how to do it.
predictive input.
On the one hand, this is a great feature for entering long texts on English language, which is ideal for the updated device keyboard. Many users are looking forward to the release of the Russian-language version, but not everything is as rosy as we would like. If you often use the predictive keyboard to enter your secret passwords, then after some time it will provide them in clear text.
Thus, it is significantly reduced security level classified materials and information. To refuse such a function, you need to go to the "Settings" menu, select "General", then "Keyboard" and turn off predictive typing. In the same menu, you can eliminate other unnecessary functions that relate to the keyboard.
airdrop
Registration in social networks has led to the fact that every day we are faced with the exchange of photos and other information. As it turned out, very few users use airdrop, so it is not surprising that many have expressed a desire to disable this application.
You can disable the function in the "Control Center" section: swipe in the direction from the bottom to the top and stop at airdrop and then just turn it off. By disabling unnecessary features of the device, you can save battery power for a longer time.
Background updates
Applications App Store, which are updated automatically, will please many, but sometimes the update occurs at the most inopportune moment.
Often we ourselves do not want to update the application we like, and sometimes updates cause problems with the offline operation of the device. In order to manually carry out all the necessary updates, you must enter changes in the "iTunes Store, App Store" section.
Voice messages
Great feature iOS 8 are voice messages iMessage. Now users can send not only text messages, but also please the interlocutor with their voice.
In order not to take up a large amount of memory, messages of this kind are subject to automatic deletion. If you want to save voice data, then go to the settings section called "Messages" and make adjustments to the specified time of deletions.
Parallax
A lot of battery life and performance takes away the amazing property of icons and wallpapers on screens to move when you change the angle of inclination.
This feature can also be seen on devices running on iOS 7, but what exactly the developer wanted to show with his innovation is still unclear.
To turn off the meaningless property, just go to the "Accessibility" menu, go to the "General" section and select "Reduce Motion".
Location Services
Every iOS 8 user must have faced constant requests from applications asking them to indicate their location. Maybe determining the geolocation takes not so much time, but the battery charge is consumed very quickly.
Content update
To increase the battery life of the device, you should refuse background content refresh. Turn off the function in the "Basic" settings and immediately notice how much longer your iPhone. Social networks are considered especially energy-consuming.
Hand off
A feature has been developed for users of the Apple device ecosystem Hand off, which is designed to run the program on one device and continue working on another.
However, if you own only one device of a branded company, then such a function is absolutely useless. You can turn it off in the "General" settings in the "Handoff" section.
Spotlight
iOS 8 Developers Improved Search Spotlight, which allowed the system to issue large quantity requested information. If you do not use all the data in Spotlight, then leave the necessary parameters, and cancel everything unnecessary. The search and its parameters can be configured in the General section.
Notifications
Often, notifications from applications do not carry any important information, so they begin to annoy. Disable Notifications can be found in the "Notifications" section. Widgets are configured in the "Notification Center", where you just need to click "Edit" without leaving the section.
With the arrival of iOS 11.3, it's very easy.
Apple, as promised, released final version of iOS 11.3 until the end of March. The key innovation of the update is the new "Battery Status" settings section, which allows you to determine the current battery status without third-party utilities. In the same section, users of the iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone 6s/6s Plus, iPhone SE and iPhone 7/7 Plus with depleted batteries have the option to turn off the deliberate slowdown of their smartphones, which is turned on to prevent sudden shutdowns. This tutorial showed you how to check the battery status of your iPhone and disable intentional slowdown if necessary.
In order to determine the status of the iPhone battery, you need to go to the menu " Settings» → « Main» → « Battery» → « Battery health (beta)". In field " Maximum capacity” will show the remaining battery capacity of your iPhone.
To find out if your iPhone is slowing down due to a weak battery or not, you can pay attention to the line under the field " Peak Performance».
If your iPhone is not slowing down
In the event that the iPhone is running at maximum peak performance, you will see a message:
"Now the battery is maintaining normal peak performance."
It is important to note that this message can also be displayed on those iPhones that have low remaining battery capacity (below 80%). The fact is that after installing iOS 11.3, a feature that deliberately slows down iPhones with old batteries, disabled by default. It is automatically activated only if the iPhone suddenly turns off due to lack of battery power.
If your iPhone is slowing down
In the event that the iPhone is artificially slowed down, the message under the "Peak performance" field reads:
“This iPhone shut down unexpectedly because the battery could not provide the required peak power. To help prevent such shutdowns in the future, a performance management feature has been enabled. Disable…”
You can disable intentional slowdown by clicking on the word " Disable in this post. Immediately after this, the iPhone will stop slowing down, but there will again be a risk of accidental shutdown due to lack of battery power.
Note that it is not possible to enable the performance adjustment function manually. It activates itself, after the next sudden shutdown of the iPhone.
