Battery life
Your phone is like a small computer that processes tons of
information and apps at lightning-fast speed. Depending on
what you use, that can take a lot of power.
When your phone is stationary, not charging or not in use for
a period of time, unnecessary background processes are
shut down to optimise battery life.
