Morning routines aren’t just for your body and mind — your phone also benefits from a reliable regimen. Your iPhone battery may seem like it’s dwindling fast, and it’s not necessarily your imagination. But there are easy steps you can take each day to ensure your battery is as strong as possible, thereby saving you money in the long run. This is the one thing you should be doing to your iPhone every morning for a healthier battery, according to tech experts.
Avoid using full brightness and, if possible, turn on auto-brightness.
Your iPhone screen is the most battery-consuming part of an iPhone as it produces retina displays, explains Ryan Yount, founder of LuckLuckGo. So, naturally, addressing screen brightness is one surefire way to keep your battery strong. “At full brightness, the iPhone tends to stress a lot,” Yount says. “Each morning before attending to your duties, switch your iPhone to auto-brightness to improve its battery health. This allows it to change its brightness levels according to the environment, which is still good for your eyes too.”

To set the iPhone to auto-brightness, Yount says these are the steps to follow:
Go to settings and select Accessibility.
Tap Display and Text Size.
Turn on Auto-Brightness.
Another good tech habit to form in the morning is to use the time (rather than overnight) to charge your phone.
“I always charge early in the morning,” says Daniela Sawyer, founder of FindPeopleFast.net. “My iPhone only charges up to 80%. All rechargeable batteries are consumable parts that become less effective and chemically used. You can use an optimized battery charging option designed to minimize the wear on your battery and improve its lifespan by minimizing the time the iPhone spends fully charged.”
