What Does Yellow Charge Mean on iPhone?
If you’ve noticed your iPhone battery icon has gone yellow, it’s not an indication that something’s wrong with the phone. In fact, it’s a normal feature that Apple added to save and conserve battery power.
When the iPhone power saving mode is enabled, the icon of your battery turns yellow and the percentage appears on your status bar. It will stay yellow until your battery is charged 80 percent or above when it will automatically turn off.
Low Power Mode
If you notice that your iPhone battery icon has turned yellow, it’s probably a good indication that you’ve activated Low Power Mode. This feature allows you to save battery life and extend the life of your iPhone by boosting its performance.
When it’s on, your iPhone will cut back on its data flow and limit communication with Siri so that it can use less power. This means that your location, Wi-Fi, and mobile data will be off, but you’ll still be able to get emails, notifications, and other events.
The main goal of Low Power Mode is to prevent the iPhone from draining its battery too quickly. It also helps ensure that you won’t miss important messages or appointments.
You can enable Low Power Mode by going to Settings and toggle it on. Or, if you want to make it easier to turn on and off, you can add it to the Control Center.
This way, you can always access it whenever you’re low on battery and need a boost. Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the icon to turn it on.
Battery Life Boosting
You may have seen some tips about how to increase your battery life, including enabling Low Power Mode when your iPhone or iPad is below 50%. However, it’s important to note that this isn’t the default setting and should be turned on only when your device is below 20% of its charge.
One of the most effective battery-boosting tips is to switch off Background App Refresh, which lets apps refresh data in the background. This drains the battery and can significantly reduce your battery life. To turn this off, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and select Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi & Cellular Data.
Another way to boost your battery life is by reducing the screen’s brightness. In our tests, lowering the screen brightness on an iPhone 6s Plus to a minimum while streaming videos over Wi-Fi consumed 58 percent less battery than watching the same video over LTE.
Alternatively, you can try turning off Bluetooth on your device. This is a bit of a no-brainer, but it’s worth doing because Bluetooth can be a significant drain on your phone’s battery.
There are also a number of other features that can eat up your battery, such as vibrate and EQ. If you use these features frequently, they can severely degrade your battery life.
The best thing you can do is to check your device’s battery life on a regular basis. This means that you’ll be able to spot issues before they become too severe.
To do this, you can open Settings and tap Battery to access your battery’s usage report. This will show you how much power each app uses, which can help you identify any issues.
Power Saver Mode
The battery percentage indicator in the status bar will turn yellow when Low Power Mode is activated. That’s a sign that it’s time to charge your phone and get it back to 80% battery capacity.
Apple’s iPhones can automatically enter Power Saver Mode when the battery dips to 20% or below. The mode disables energy-hogging features like email fetch, Hey Siri, background app usage, and automatic downloads of app updates and data. It also disables Wi-Fi scanning and some visual effects.
It will also reduce the display’s refresh rate, which helps keep your screen from draining too much battery power. It will also disable some animations and turn off push notifications, which use data to send you messages.
You can find the toggle for this feature in Control Center under Settings > Customize Controls. Just tap the plus symbol to the left of “Low Power Mode” and then touch and drag it to position it in the Control Center.
There’s one important caveat to remember here: You can’t turn on Power Saver Mode permanently. It only lasts until you hit a certain point in the battery’s charge cycle, and then it turns off. This can leave you in the same situation as if you had not activated the feature at all, so it’s best to do it only when your battery needs a boost.
Restarting
When the battery indicator on your iPhone turns yellow, it’s a sign that you need to take action. This means that you can either turn the Low Power Mode off, or turn it on and stay in this mode until your phone reaches a minimum of 80% charge.
This feature is designed to save you money on your cell phone bill, and is a great way to increase the battery life of your iPhone. However, this feature also causes your iPhone to run in low power mode for longer periods of time than it would otherwise.
To disable the low power mode on your iPhone, simply tap the toggle next to it. Then, wait for your phone to fully charge and the battery icon should return to green.
If your iPhone is constantly restarting, there’s a good chance it’s due to some sort of software issue. This can be a bug in the iOS operating system itself, or an error within an app.
One of the easiest ways to fix this problem is to update the apps that are causing it. You can do this in the App Store, or by using the Update All option on your iPhone.
