3. Disable keyboard sound and vibration

1. Tap Settings.

2. Select Sound & vibration > turn it off.

4. Limit apps that drain more battery

There are two types of apps that you can restrict the battery drain:

Limit running background apps

Find the apps that are running in the background and drain the battery.

Limit battery-hungry apps

5. Turn off song identification

However, if you don’t need the feature at the moment, you can turn it off to save more battery life. 

Tap Settings > Sound & vibration > Now Playing > Turn off Identify songs playing nearby. 

6. Enable adaptive battery 

This feature will let your system decides when to save battery automatically.

7. Turn off unused Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Turn off your Bluetooth or Wi-Fi if currently, you are not connecting to any devices or wireless network. 

1. Swipe down from the top of your screen.

2. In the control center, tap the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons to turn them off. 

8. Use a high-quality charger

It’s so sad that Google Pixel 6 or 6 Pro no longer comes with the power adapter. It only provides a type-C charging cable within the box. As a result, you must buy the power adapter separately. 

Choosing a charger for your Google Pixel 6 or 6 Pro should be done with care. Buy only a high-quality power adaptor for the sake of your battery health. Choosing a power adaptor just because it’s cheap without considering its quality is not wise at all. It could damage both your phone and battery, though.

9. Keep your Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro cool

Heat is the primary cause of your Google Pixel 6 or Google Pixel 6 Pro’s battery draining quickly. Furthermore, allowing your phone to overheat can damage the battery. In the worst-case scenario, your phone may explode.

There have been numerous reports of phones exploding while being charged. The reason for this is that the battery is overheating.

So, if your phone becomes too hot, disconnect it from the power adaptor, allow it for a minute to cool down, or shut it down.

Those were the useful tips to extend your Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro battery life.
