If your phone has reached 500 or more charging cycles, according to Apple, the device is designed to maintain 80 percent of its original capacity. In this instance, it is recommended to properly shut down unnecessary apps that consume large sums of power.

If you have applications like Facebook, SnapChat, Line or your email open, this could cause major stress on your battery and lead to the battery dying faster than usual.In order to force close apps using your iPhone X - swipe up from the bottom of your screen and leave your finger on the screen (halfway up).

This activates ‘multitasking mode.’ After this, a red circle will appear in the top left-hand corner, which you can press to force close any and all running apps.

After attempting to solve your battery issues by force closing all of your apps, try restarting the device if the problem persists. Contrary to older iPhone designs, pressing the side button will not restart your iPhone X, nor will it fix battery issues.

Doing so merely activates Siri. What you should do instead is open settings, head to ‘General,’ scroll to the bottom and select 'Shut Down.' To power your iPhone X back on, press the side button on the right-hand side.

You can also simply press the power button on the right-hand side and the volume up button simultaneously (located on the left-hand side). The trick is, they must both be pressed at the exact same time.

Next, the option to 'slide to power off' will be presented on your screen. Lastly, swipe right to power off the device.

Putting your iPhone on ‘Low Power Mode’ has many benefits. For starters, it drastically reduces the amount of power your iPhone X uses, as your battery lessens. Activating Low Power Mode is easy, and can be done from ‘Settings > Battery.’

  

Test your battery

iPhone X users can even compare power consumption over a period of time in order to show trends. If you notice that your phone is still underperforming - there’s one more solution you can try.
