To lower brightness just swipe up from the bottom and slide to the desired setting.

Limit GPS usage

Another feature that drains battery life is GPS and location services. While really helpful for getting directions, checking weather, etc. You most likely don’t need it enabled on every app that requests access.

Go into Settings > Privacy > Location services and check to see which apps are using your location that may not need to. Once you find these apps simply turn off location services.

Turn off Auto Downloads

Another battery draining feature is auto update. While this is a handy way to keep your apps up to date, if you have a lots of apps it can be a real drain.

Go to Settings > App and iTunes Stores > Automatic Downloads to turn it off.

Low Power Mode turns off Mail Fetch, Background App Refresh, Automatic Downloads, and some of the visual effects.

To turn it on manually go into Settings > General > Battery and slide it on.
