In this article, we’ll explain how to do this with the help of the Shortcuts app.
What does Low Power Mode Really Do?
Low Power Mode was introduced in the latest iOS update, it is a low power consumption mode that turns off certain features such as the automatic download of new content, the frequency of background app refresh, the brightness of screen and limits the user’s connection to the internet.
