How to Disable Low Power Mode on iPhone

Low Power Mode on iPhone is a useful feature that helps extend battery life by reducing power consumption. However, there are times when you might want to turn it off to fully utilize your phone's capabilities. Let’s explore how to do this step by step.

Why Disable Low Power Mode?

Low Power Mode limits certain features on your iPhone, such as background app refresh, automatic downloads, and visual effects. While it helps conserve battery, it can also reduce performance. You should consider turning it off if:

  • You want maximum device performance.
  • Your battery charge is sufficiently high (above 20%).
  • You need background apps to run smoothly.

How to Disable Low Power Mode via Settings

  1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
  2. Go to the “Battery” section.
  3. Find the “Low Power Mode” switch and turn it off (move it to the left).

When Low Power Mode is turned off, the battery icon in the top right corner will change from yellow back to the default white or black, depending on your theme.

Quickly Disable Low Power Mode via Control Center

You can disable Low Power Mode even faster using the Control Center:

  1. Swipe down from the top right corner (for iPhones with Face ID) or swipe up from the bottom edge (for iPhones with a Home button).
  2. Look for the Low Power Mode icon (a battery icon).
  3. Tap the icon to turn off Low Power Mode.

Automatically Disable Low Power Mode

If you want Low Power Mode to turn off automatically when your battery reaches a certain level, you can set this up using the Shortcuts app:

  1. Open the Shortcuts app and go to the Automation tab.
  2. Tap “Create Personal Automation” and select “Battery Level”.
  3. Set the battery level (e.g., 50%) and choose the action “Turn Off Low Power Mode”.
  4. Tap “Done” to save the automation.
