The application is enabled by default and can be switched off by navigating to Setting > Display and brightness > Toggle off the Raise to Wake feature

Keep the iPhone face down at night

Every time there is a notification on your iPhone the phone wakes the screen to remind you of the same. This causes unwanted battery drain.

This will save a lot of battery, especially during nighttime.

Background App Refresh lets apps on your phone run in the background periodically to update their content and start instantly as soon as the users tap on it. To save extra battery juice, one can disable this feature by heading to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn it off either completely or for specific apps.
