Sync Settings Notifications are important. But if you find them intrusive and hate the persistent stream of pings, you should try disabling auto-sync altogether. That way, you’ll only see new content when you open an app and refresh it manually. Since apps won’t constantly refresh themselves in the background to feed you new information, this can save you a ton of battery life too. To disable auto-sync, visit  Settings > Accounts  and there, the  Automatically sync data  options should be available at the bottom. You can also disable sync on a per-app basis in most apps.

Disable Google Assistant While  Google Assistant is a handy tool to have for fun and work , it’s also one of the Android features that constantly gobbles up your phone’s energy. It’s listening for the wake command, is connected to your location for instantly fetching contextual results, and more. If you don’t heavily depend on Google Assistant, it’s best to shutter it. Unsurprisingly, Google hasn’t made Assistant’s switch easy to reach. You have to jump through a few hoops to find it. First, go into the  Google app  and hit the  More tab. There, tap  Settings  and under the  Google Assistant  header, tap  Settings  again. Next, select the  Assistant  tab and there, tap your phone’s name at the bottom of the list. Turn off the  Google Assistant  option and you’re done. Check the next post for another tips

Manage Background Data Access for Each App Similarly, you can cut off data access for apps you don’t think should use it in the background. To reach this setting, follow the steps in the post below (Previous post) but instead of  Battery , select  Data Usage . Don't forget to check the next post if this doesn't work for you.

Limit Apps Running in the Background Most apps you use are active even after you exit them. That’s where Android’s app-specific battery tools enter. With a simple switch, you can completely restrict an app from accessing the battery in the background. Find this at  Settings  >  Apps & Notifications  and there, inside the specific app’s page, tap  Advanced > Battery > Background restriction . If you have an older phone, you can also try a third-party app called  Greenify . This automatically stop apps from consuming resources in the background. However, we recommend using the native feature on modern devices since it generally works better than third-party solutions. Check out another tips on the next post.

Turn Off Automatic Wi-Fi Since the Oreo update, Android comes with a feature that continues to look for open Wi-Fi networks even when you’ve disabled Wi-Fi. To turn it off, open  Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi . Under  Wi-Fi preferences , uncheck the  Turn on Wi-Fi automatically  option. Check another tips on the next post.
