ByWhenever your iPhone’s battery starts draining, a pop-up asks you to turn on Low Power Mode. On activating this feature, Low Power Mode shuts down all background activities to extend your iPhone’s battery life.
Low Power Mode remains active until your iPhone is sufficiently charged. Moreover, you can also find the option to turn on Low Power Mode from the iPhone’s Settings whenever you want. But would you like to automate this process?

When you turn on Low Power Mode on your iPhone, it reduces or affects the following features:
- 5G on iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models (except video streaming)
