Quit All of Your Apps
If you’re doing an extended charge, take a moment to close all of your currently operating apps as well. Much like switching to Airplane Mode, this helps ensure that your iPhone won’t be busy with anything else in the background while it’s charging, allowing your battery level to build quicker.
- For iPhones with a Home button, simply press the Home button twice while the iPhone is unlocked, and you should get a preview of all your open apps. Swipe up to close them.
- For iPhones without a Home button, swipe up from the bottom and hold your finger at the center of the screen, which will open the app switcher showing all your apps. Swipe up to close them.
