Do you want to be able to turn on Low Power Mode from Control Center instead of going through Settings every time? When your iPhone or iPad's battery is low, every second counts! Fortunately, adding Low Power Mode to Control Center is incredibly easy, and will save you precious time in low-battery emergencies. This wikiHow article will show you how to add the Low Power Mode icon to Control Center on your iPhone or iPad.

Once added to Control Center, tap the icon to activate it.
Alternatively, you can take measures to avoid battery drain like not using power-draining apps, turning the brightness down, and turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Tap the battery icon. When the tile turns white and the battery turns yellow, you'll know that Low Power Mode is enabled.

Tap the battery icon again at any time to turn off Low Power Mode.

Your screen's auto lock time will reduce to 30 seconds.

5G will be disabled (except for video streaming).

Email fetch will not occur in the background.

Your display brightness will decrease.

Automatic downloads will be suspended.

Some visual effects, like live wallpapers, will be reduced.
