Low Power Mode is an energy-saving feature on iPhone and iPad. It reduces system performance, limits background tasks, and conserves battery power when the device reaches low charge levels. By controlling specific system operations, it helps extend battery life during critical periods. This mode can be manually activated or automatically suggested when the battery percentage drops to 20%.

The feature works by modifying several background processes. It reduces app activity, limits mail fetching, disables visual effects, and stops automatic updates. Screen brightness is also reduced, and Auto-Lock is shortened to save more power. These adjustments allow the device to run more efficiently with reduced energy consumption.

Enabling Low Power Mode is beneficial in situations where charging is not immediately available, or prolonged device usage is required. The feature can be activated directly from the device settings, the Control Center, or by voice command through Siri. iPads running iPadOS 15 and later support this mode, similar to iPhones.

Low Power Mode can reduce performance and limit some features, like background app refresh, mail fetch, and visual effects. Enabling it can help conserve power.

Low Power Mode automatically disables when the battery reaches 80% or higher. You can manually turn it off through the same steps if needed.
