Battery Saver Options
If you want, you can set a schedule as to when you’d like Battery saver to enable on your device.
- To use this feature, tap Set a schedule from the Battery Saver menu. On the next screen, you’ll see three options including No schedule, Based on your routine and Based on percentage.
By default, the Based on percentage option is selected. Thus, your phone switches to battery saver mode when its battery goes down to 25%. If you want to stick to this selection, then just keep it as is.
You can adjust the percentage slider to a lower or higher level. Just drag the slider to the left or right accordingly.
If you want to activate Power saver without following a certain schedule, select No schedule. Otherwise, turn it on based on your routine like when your battery is likely to run out before your next usual charging routine.
The battery icon on the status bar appears to have a red outline when Battery Saver is turned on.
Turn On Battery Saver via Quick Settings Panel
Aside from Settings, you can also enable and disable Battery Saver through the quick settings panel of your phone.
- To do this, simply swipe your finger down from the top of the Home screen to launch the panel then swipe left or right to locate the Battery Saver shortcut icon. Once found, just tap the icon to turn Battery Saver on or off.
To access Battery Saver options and features, just long press (touch and hold) on the Battery Saver icon. Doing so will launch the Battery Saver menu where you can view and manage relevant options like Set a schedule, Turn off when charged, and Extreme Battery Saver.
If you want your phone to automatically disable Battery Saver when the battery charges above 90%, switch ON the Turn off when charged toggle from the Battery Saver menu.
Activating Battery Saver on your phone may turn off or limit some network connections. That said, some network features may work slower than usual or not work as intended at all.
And that’s how you enable Battery Saver on the Google Pixel 7 smartphone.
