3. Recharge using Airplane Mode. The longer you have your phone, the more likely that the battery will drain faster than when it was new. That is why you need to recharge it more often. A simple trick to recharging it faster is to put your phone in Airplane mode. It's great for when you need a quick boost. 
4. Utilize Screen Time. In order to maximize your battery, you have to know what apps are draining your phone the most. Turn your screen time on and see so you can save your battery and optimize your iPhone more.

In your settings, go to Location and turn your location to "Off" or "While Using the App".
