After purchasing a new product, you usually install and activate many applications and perform various functions to initially set up your new device. At this time, because of the high background battery consumption, you may feel that the battery life of your new phone is shorter than the previous model.

Device optimisation helps to reduce battery consumption by cleaning up apps running in the background and cleaning up abnormal battery usage.

Through deep sleeping apps:

Apps that detect battery draining issues can reduce battery drain by putting them to deep sleeping apps via push notifications.

When the device automatically detects an app that consumes a lot of battery in the background and sends a push, check the notification to put the app into a deep sleeping state.
