Pokémon GO: 7 Essential Battery-Saving Tips You Need To Know

1. Quit All Background Apps

More of a tip for phone battery life in general, but background apps can contribute to battery drain, too.

In this day and age, neither Apple, Google or anyone else seems to have mastered power usage when it comes to the millions of apps we all juggle on a daily basis; which is why you're better off closing them all, constantly.

Many users already get their OCD on and fervently close any unused apps immediately, but if you're someone who just leaves them in the background, pull up that switch menu by holding/double tapping the menu key, and swipe to close everything other than Pokémon GO.

I've gotten a good couple of hours extra play out of ensuring only PoGo is running, as that negates the need for your phone to monitor anything other than the game - which is quite fitting, because as far as the world is concerned right now, there is nothing other than Pokémon GO.
