Basically, it\u2019s a website (with a suite of apps in its name) that allows you to pair certain triggers and actions for increased autonomy of information (for example, you might set the \u201cthis\u201d as \u201cregister a high of ninety degrees or more\u201d and the \u201cthat\u201d as \u201ctext me\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The potential ramifications for this platform are virtually endless, but one overlooked yet powerful option is to set up IFTTT to save your phone&#8217;s battery life. With these tips, you can extend your phone\u2019s field life <em>exponentially<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Get more juice out of that battery<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most sensible uses of IFTTT is the linking of low battery to any number of battery-saving functions. For example, if your battery reaches your deemed critical level (let\u2019s say twenty-five percent), IFTTT can be utilized to kill apps, shut down the wifi or Bluetooth, or simply send you a notification warning you of your phone\u2019s imminent demise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.ifttt.ifttt&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">The Android\u2019s extension of IFTTT is called IF<\/a>, and it is free to download (you should download it so you can use IFTTT to save battery life). It would also be irresponsible not to mention Android\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Greenify App Hibernator<\/a>, which, if linked to IFTTT, will definitively give you all kinds of extended battery life.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>IFTTT recipes to set up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/recipes\/302231-turn-off-wifi-when-your-battery-is-low\" target=\"_blank\">Turn off wi-fi when battery level is low<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/recipes\/302225-if-your-phone-s-battery-is-low-mute-your-ringtone-to-conserve-power\" target=\"_blank\">Mute ringtone when the battery level is low<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/recipes\/302232-turn-off-bluetooth-when-your-battery-is-low\" target=\"_blank\">Turn off Bluetooth when battery is low<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>There are also apps you can delete<\/h2>\n<p>There are several apps you can delete to save vast quantities of battery life. These battery-sucking apps include Facebook, weather apps, antivirus software, your default browser, and any dedicated cache-cleaning apps &#8211; the idea behind this purge is essentially to eliminate high-usage apps that tend to run in the background or draw from the root directory of your phone.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest culprits, however, is Facebook, and experts suggest replacing the app with a shortcut to the website. Lastly, get cozy with the idea of doing some tasks (i.e., cache-clearing) manually.<\/p>\n<h2>And then the age-old advice<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, in addition to all of the above, the usual basic battery-saving advice applies: lower your screen brightness, kill wi-fi and Bluetooth when they aren\u2019t in use\u2014the same goes for background apps\u2014and charge your phone regularly (especially if you know you\u2019ll be doing field work).<\/p>\n<p>Utilize these tips, and you should have no problem getting your phone to last all day.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #999999;\">#BatteryLife<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re in the field all day rushing from appointment to appointment, and nothing is more panic inducing than a dying phone.
