If you struggle to make it through the day or just want to improve your iPhone battery a little, here is one thing you can do.
It all comes down to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings.
Some settings can search for open wireless networks and even notify you when one is available. This setting allows you to connect to open Wi-Fi networks easily, but it does come with a huge disadvantage; it leaves your phone constantly searching for those open networks throughout the day.
While it is not going to drain your battery extremely fast, using the Ask to Join Networks feature can drain your battery a little. By default, Apple has the iPhone set up to Notify you when an open network is available. However, you can turn this off to save power and improve your iPhone battery.
To turn off the Ask to Join Networks feature, head to:
Settings> Wi-Fi > Ask to Join Networks
This option is below the Other Networks section. If it is not set to off, tap on the option and then select OFF from the drop-down that appears to disable the feature. Refer to the below image:
