Manage your apps
§ Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See Battery optimization for apps
on page 81.
§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include battery
performance improvements.
§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even when you're not using them. If
there are apps that you don't need anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still prevent it from
continuously running or syncing data. See Disabling an app on page 91.
Other tips

ones you don't need and can disable.
§ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.
