If you’ve charged your device enough that you don’t need the battery-saver mode anymore, or if you’d just like to make your device run at its maximum capacity, it’s easy to turn off the power-saving mode on your Microsoft Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices. We’ll show you how to do that on your desktop or mobile device.

Once you turn off the battery-saver mode, your device’s system functions, and installed apps can run at full capacity. This is because the power-saving mode restricts your apps’ functionalities to conserve battery, and disabling the feature lifts those restrictions.
