Manually set the <\/span><b>brightness to a reasonable level<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In many cases, our screens are unnecessarily bright, which drains the battery faster than needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Close unnecessary active apps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many apps remain <\/span><b>running in the background<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> even after you think you\u2019ve closed them.
