Your Phone Will Charge Much Faster With This Simple Trick

Is your phone's battery nearly dead, and you don't have time to fully recharge it? This simple technique can help charge it faster.

Like any device that is powered by a battery, your smartphone needs regular charging. How often you need to charge it will depend on your usage and the battery's capacity. The same goes for how long it takes to charge. With a faster charger and a compatible phone, 30 to 40 minutes could be enough. But if you don't have a high speed charger, it's likely that you'll be waiting around two hours or more for a full charge. 

Unfortunately, life doesn't always give you the luxury of time. Maybe you forget to charge your phone overnight, and wake up to a nearly dead battery. This is certainly not ideal, especially if you're in a rush. Fortunately, there are some quick and easy hacks to speed up the charging process. 

If you need to stay reachable while charging, here's the first tip: close all open apps, and turn off mobile data, Wi-Fi, and location services. Many apps run in the background, draining power even when you're not actively using them. Social media apps and navigation tools are big culprits here, constantly syncing and fetching updates. By turning off these background activities, your phone charges faster.

For an even bigger boost, switch to airplane mode. This simple trick disables all wireless connections, no mobile network, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, and no GPS, all of which drain energy even when idle. In airplane mode, your phone essentially goes into rest mode, allowing it to charge noticeably faster. This quick adjustment can shave valuable minutes off your wait time.

Need to charge your phone in record time? The fastest method is simply turning it off completely. When it's powered down, the phone stops using any energy at all, making it the most effective way to get a quick, full charge. The only problem is that you will be without your phone whilst it charges. 

And one last tip for optimal charging: always use a charger plugged directly into a wall outlet. USB ports in cars, computers, or portable power banks often deliver lower current, which leads to slower charging speeds. Stick to a wall charger for the best results!
