6 - Close Any Demanding Apps Similar to using your iPhone, there might be really demanding apps open and running in the background. This will obviously consume your battery life more quickly and prevent your iPhone from charging as quickly as possible. The fastest way to solve this issue is to close that app immediately. All you need to do is open your iPhone's App Switcher, which you can do by swiping up from the bottom to the middle of your screen (if your iPhone has Face ID) or double-clicking the Home button (if your iPhone has Touch ID), and then closing all the most demanding apps. Of course, if an app is working in the background, it will probably continue to hinder your iPhone's charging speed. To fix this, you can turn off Background App Refresh on your iPhone by going to Settings General Background App Refresh and disabling It in any app that may cause issues. While this is useful to help your iPhone's battery last as long as possible, you may still want Background App Refresh once your iPhone is done charging. Instead of disabling it every time, you can simply turn on Low Power Mode, which will automatically disable Background App Refresh completely. To turn it on, go to Settings Battery and turn on Low Power Mode.
