How to automate Low Power Mode on iPhone

iPhone Low Power Mode

Automations can be used to invoke a wide variety of actions automatically on your iPhone. With Automations, iOS is programmed to react to certain conditions or data detected on your device. One example of a useful Automation conserves battery power after the remaining power level drops to a predetermined threshold.

Once this Automation is created, hitting the prescribed battery level switches on Low Power Mode right away. Low Power Mode works by reducing various background activities that drain your power levels such as Mail push, automatic downloads, background app refresh and animated effects. iOS asks to enter Low Power Mode when the battery level reaches 20 percent.
