If you’re looking to maximize battery life and want Low Power Mode to stay on indefinitely, Apple’s Shortcuts app offers a smart way to automate this setting. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your iPhone automatically reactivates Low Power Mode whenever it’s turned off.

Why Use Low Power Mode All the Time?

Low Power Mode is a built-in iOS feature designed to reduce energy consumption by limiting background activity, lowering screen brightness, and optimizing system performance. Normally, this mode deactivates when your iPhone is fully charged, but with automation, you can keep it enabled permanently to extend battery life significantly.

Step-by-Step Guide to Automate Low Power Mode

1. Open the Shortcuts App

Start by launching the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. If you don’t have it installed, download it from the App Store.

2. Enter Automation

Tap on “Automation” from the bottom navigation bar, where you’ll create a new personal automation for Low Power Mode.

3. Create a New Automation

Tap the plus (+) icon in the top right corner.
Scroll down and find “Low Power Mode” as the trigger.

4. Configure the Automation Trigger

Select “Is Turned Off” (this ensures Low Power Mode reactivates when disabled).
Uncheck “Is Turned On”, as we only need the automation to respond when Low Power Mode is off.
Tap “Run Immediately” to apply changes.

5. Add an Action

Tap “Next”, then select “New Blank Automation”.
Tap “Add Action”, and search for “Set Low Power Mode”.
Select “Set Low Power Mode” as the action and confirm.

6. Save and Activate

Tap the “Done” button to save your automation. Now, whenever Low Power Mode is turned off, your iPhone will instantly turn it back on automatically!
