After downloading iOS 7, some users reported problems with the battery life of their iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Other complaints include the look of the Notification Center.
On Twitter, by the minute, there were messages about the iOS 7 allegedly depleting their devices’ batteries.
“Feel like my battery life is awful now with the new iOS,” wrote one user, and over the past few days, some speculated that there was a bug that prompts iPhones to drain batteries faster, while others said that charging times took longer.
But not all users who downloaded the iOS 7 reported battery issues.
However, since the iOS 7 was released last week, some websites have offered some solutions to customers’ battery woes.
According to reports, users can go to the Settings section in their device, chose General, and press Background App Refresh. In the list, users can disable background apps that have refresh support built into them.
The very top switch will disable all apps, while it offers the option to turn off each individual one below it. It will say “this will prevent all apps from using Location Services in the background, including gofences,” if one chooses to select the top one, but it means that apps that use GPS will not be used while running in the background.
Gottabemobile.com points out that maps and weather apps are generally useful, but it is recommended to disable Stocks and Evernote because they do not need to constantly refresh in the background.
As The Telegraph notes, turning off AirDrop could also allow users to save batteries. The feature is new to iOS 7, and it constantly looks for other iPhones or iPads in the vicinity. Go to Control Center and double click on the AirDrop logo to turn it off.
Others complained about the new-look Notification Center.
For those who seek the old Notification Center look and style, go to Settings and turn off Today Summary and Tomorrow Summary, with whatever apps that appear.
