Apple’s ‘Wi-Fi Assist’ feature, while convenient for users on the go, can actually drain battery life and consume data. Sometimes referred to as the ‘vampire setting,’ this feature automatically switches to mobile data when Wi-Fi networks are slow. This can be useful when streaming or downloading content, but it’s important to be aware of its potential impact on battery life.
To disable ‘Wi-Fi Assist,’ follow these steps:
1. Go to ‘Settings’
2. Tap on the ‘Mobile Data’ tab
3. Scroll to the bottom
4. Toggle the ‘Wi-Fi Assist’ switch from green to grey
In the ‘Settings’ menu, under ‘Mobile Data,’ you can also find information about personal hotspots and data usage for different apps. It’s worth noting that ‘Wi-Fi Assist’ only affects foreground apps and does not activate background or third-party apps, which can consume substantial amounts of data.
While maintaining battery life, Apple recommends adjusting screen brightness and using Wi-Fi whenever possible. Wi-Fi connections use less power than mobile networks. You can access Wi-Fi settings by going to ‘Settings > Wi-Fi.’
To maximize iPhone battery health, Apple advises avoiding extreme temperatures, removing cases that generate excess heat while charging, updating to the latest software for energy-saving technologies, and avoiding fully charging or fully discharging the device.
In conclusion, Apple’s ‘Wi-Fi Assist’ feature can be both helpful and detrimental to battery life. By being aware of this feature and following the steps to disable it if desired, users can better manage their iPhone’s battery usage.
