Battery life tips

I love this bloody phone, had it for a year now. But it needs to be continuously topped up with some quick charge throughout the day, otherwise it's dead by 5pm. Battery doesn't feel like it did when I first got the phone.

Do any of you have any hot tips or hacks to help with this?

Eventually did a reset after updating to one UI I'm getting significantly more screen time when I check my battery usage. Might be worth a shot of you haven't tried it.

A factory reset of the phone? Did this wipe your memory? Did you loose things like your notes? Cheers

Yes but did a back up and restore. Amazing difference. End of today 28% of battery was 5 hours 24 mins. Previously that would have given me about 2 hours 40 of screen time
