and tap
Settings > Battery > Battery usage.

Settings > Battery > Battery Saver, and tap the switch to turn it on.
When on, your phone’s display changes to Dark theme.
» To limit battery use for apps that you don’t use often, swipe up from
the home screen and tap
Settings > Battery > Adaptive Battery,
