- Turn ON the in-built battery saver: The makers of the game is definitely aware of the ability of the game to sap a lot of battery juice and therefore provided an in-built battery saver within the game, to turn it ON; Follow these steps – Tap the Poke Ball icon > Press Settings (Gear icon towards the top of the screen) > check Battery saver if you find it unchecked (see screenshot below)
- Turn ON Phone’s battery Saver: You can use this step to compliment the in-built battery saver but the downside is that some features of the Pokemon Go may become unavailable based on the fact that location service becomes turned off as well. Pokemon Go relies on your location to provide more Poke stops and Pokemons, turning of the service may reduce the numbers.
- Turn off the AR (Augmented Reality): The Augmented Reality enables you to see Pokemon in a more realistic way but this in turn activates your camera thereby reducing battery life. Turning it off won’t be a bad idea. When you turn it off, the real life background will be replaced with a graphical background which is also cool and above all help reduce battery consumption. To turn off AR simply hit the AR switch located towards the top-right corner of the screen (See screenshot below)
- Reduce Screen brightness: This particular one is a general battery saving tip that can also be useful for this purpose. Although playing the game under sunlight could be a little difficult but all the same, it is still an area to be explored in prolonging battery life while playing Pokemon Go. To reduce screen brightness on iPhone Go to Settings > Display and brightness > slide to adjust. For Android go to Settings > Display > Brightness level >Adjust.
- Turn off Music: Turning off the music won’t hinder the fun of the Pokemon Game especially when you know it contributes to quick reduction of battery life.
- Turn off Sound effects: This is also another feature of the game that needs to be turned off to prolong battery life. Turn it off, it doesn’t reduce the fun.
- Turn off vibration: The vibration should also be turned off to provide more battery time for Pokemon Go.
-
