What is Android’s Adaptive Battery?
Android’s Adaptive Battery is a feature designed to help improve the battery life of Android devices. It uses machine learning algorithms to analyze how you use your phone and then adjust the battery usage of apps accordingly.
Adaptive Battery identifies apps that you don’t use frequently and limits the amount of battery they consume when they are not in use. By doing so, it can significantly improve battery life and help your phone last longer throughout the day.
When Adaptive Battery is enabled, your phone will learn your usage patterns over time and adjust the battery usage of apps accordingly. For example, if you typically use a certain app at a specific time of day, your phone will learn that and make sure that the app has enough battery to function properly at that time.
Point to Note
It’s worth noting that Adaptive Battery is not a perfect solution and may cause some apps to take longer to launch or may limit their functionality. However, overall it is an effective way to extend the battery life of your Android device without having to manually adjust settings or restrict app usage.
Here is to activate it on your Android phone:
- Open your phone’s “Settings” app.
- Scroll down and tap on “Battery.”
- Tap on “Adaptive Battery” or “Battery optimization” (depending on your Android version).
- Toggle the switch to turn on Adaptive Battery.
- Your phone will now start learning your usage patterns and adjust the battery usage of apps accordingly.
Keep in mind that Adaptive Battery is designed to improve battery life by limiting the amount of power that apps can use when they are not being actively used. This means that some apps may take longer to launch or may not send you notifications as quickly as before. If you notice any issues, you can always turn off Adaptive Battery for specific apps by following these steps:
- Open your phone’s “Settings” app.
- Scroll down and tap on “Apps & notifications.”
- Tap on the app you want to adjust.
- Tap on “Battery.”
- Choose from the following options:
- Battery optimization: This will let you turn off Adaptive Battery for that app.
- Background restriction: This will limit the app’s ability to run in the background and use up battery.
- Unrestricted data usage: This will let the app use cellular data in the background, which may use more battery.
That’s it! With Adaptive Battery, you can help your Android device conserve battery life and last longer throughout the day.
