In this brief step-by-step tutorial, we show you how to set your iPhone or iPad to automatically disable Low Power Mode the moment you plug it into charging.
Low Power Mode turns off or limits several iOS features to save battery, so you can squeeze more use time from the remaining charge. The most notable changes during Low Power Mode are the screen refresh rate being limited to just 60Hz, suspended iCloud Photos updates, disabled background updates and downloads, and overall system slowness.
Now, your iPhone or iPad automatically turns off Low Power Mode when you plug it into charging and the battery level reaches 80%.
But what if you don’t want to wait about an hour for it to auto turn off Low Power Mode? Maybe you want background updates, a higher refresh rate, and system fluidness the moment you plug the device into a charger.
Thankfully, the built-in Apple Shortcuts app lets you configure exactly this, and we’ll show you how.
Turn off Low Power Mode when iPhone or iPad is plugged into a charger
1) Open the Apple Shortcuts app on your iOS device and tap Automation.
2) Tap New Automation or the plus button.
3) Select Charger from the list of automation conditions.
4) Leave ‘Is Connected’ checked and ‘Is Disconnected’ unchecked. Then, select ‘Run Immediately’ so this automation runs in the background without your approval, and tap Next.
5) Tap Create New Shortcut from the top.
6) Use the search bar to find and add the Low Power Mode action to your build.
7) Tap the ‘On’ placeholder to change it to ‘Off.’ Then, tap the checkmark icon to finish building your Low Power Mode automation.
Moving forward, this iPhone or iPad will turn off Low Power Mode whenever you plug it in to charge. You don’t have to worry about turning it off manually or waiting for it to auto-turn off after the battery reaches 80%.
If you change your mind and no longer need this automation, return to the Shortcuts app > Automation and swipe left on it to delete it.
