Save battery life and Cellular Data 

iPhone comes with some builtin apps. Some people use them some doesn't. You can increase battery life by disabling their activity. Also you can save some data usage while you are on cellular network.

**Go to Settings > Cellular (disable apps under use cellular data for that you need them)
**Go to Settings > Go to apps section and disable background app refresh for apps that you don't
need. (like if you have bank app installed you don't need that app refresh in the background)
