It is always best to plug your phone directly into a wall socket rather than charge via USB on a PC. This provides more power and will charge your device quicker.

If you think your phone battery is draining faster than it should you can check which apps are using the most power.

1. Click the ‘Settings’ app.
2. Click ‘Battery’.

A graph will be displayed showing battery charge over the last 24 hours. Click ‘Last 10 days’ to see details of the last week.

3. Scroll up to see what apps are draining your battery.

4. Click this list to display the amount of time each has been in use.

In this example, Outlook has used the most battery power and for the main, it has been running in the background. Close this app when not in use to save battery power.
