iVerify: Added security for iPhone and iPad users
I'm usually wary of security apps, but iVerify by Trail of Bits is different. It comes highly recommended and offers a lot of features in a small download. ...
Are you finding that your iPhone's battery life is bad since installing iOS 12.1.4? I'm coming across numerous reports that on social media from users who claim that Apple's latest update for the iPhone an iPad is hammering their battery. Here's what you can do to diagnose the problem and try to get more battery life.
Your apps are doing a lot in the background (you can see the effect this has on battery life by checking out the on-screen versus background activity stats).
You can take control of which apps can work in the background using the controls offered under Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Dig deeper by clicking on Background App Refresh at the top (or going Settings > General > Background App Refresh > Background App Refresh, which seems like poor naming on Apple's part to me) and you can switch this off completely or control whether it happens over Wi-Fi only, or Wi-Fi and cellular data (the latter will take more battery power, especially in poor signal areas).
If data from Settings > Battery suggests that an app is draining the battery by working in the background, then disable its ability to refresh in the background and see if that helps.
