Make the most out of your battery life and data


This is probably your first trip in a while and of course, you would want to capture every second of it. Do not let a flat battery or a maxed out data limit ruin the moment.

Be sure to operate on power saving mode and kill any unused apps running in the background–you’d be surprised at how much battery they drain. Download content before you set off so you do not end up wasting battery and data to download them on the go. Finally, search for offline versions of frequently-used apps. For one, Google Maps allows you to download maps that can still guide you to your location even when you are offline.

Travelling is faster, easier and safer when you know your tech. Have these tech tips in mind and you’re all set for the trip of your lifetime!
