Low Power Mode iOS 9

In iOS 9, Apple introduced a new feature called Low Power Mode which disables a number of battery draining background activities to save you hours of battery life.

Here are a few of those features you can manually disable to save battery instead of turning off the full fledged Low Power Mode.
