Low Power Mode reduces the amount of power that your iPad uses when the battery gets low. It optimizes performance for essential tasks like making and receiving calls, sending and receiving email and messages, accessing the internet, and more. On iPad models with ProMotion display technology, Low Power Mode limits the display refresh rate to 60 frames per second.

It turns off on its own when your iPad charges to 80 percent or higher, so you don’t need to switch it off yourself.

Note: When iPad is in Low Power Mode, it might perform some tasks more slowly.

Turn Low Power Mode on or off

To turn Low Power Mode on or off, use any of these methods:

  • In Settings: Go to the Settings app, tap Battery, then tap Low Power Mode.
  • In Control Center: Add the Low Power Mode button to Control Center, then tap the Low Power Mode button.

Low Power Mode turns off automatically when iPad charges to 80 percent or higher.
