They help with email, City websites, benefit applications, new devices- whatever digital needs you have.

Phone at 12 percent and no outlet in sight? 🔋

Turn on Low Power Mode. It can buy you another 1-3 hours.

It works by pausing what you are not using right now. It pauses background app refresh, automatic downloads, and some visual effects. Your calls, texts, and maps keep working just fine.

On iPhone, go to Settings, then Battery, then switch on Low Power Mode.

On Android, go to Settings, then Battery, then Battery Saver.

Faster way? Ask your voice assistant to turn it on.

Great for long days out, travel, or any time you need your phone to last.
