How to enable Extreme Battery Saver Mode on Pixel 7
If you recently upgraded to the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, you may be wondering how to access the Extreme Battery Saver Mode available on the smartphone.
Extreme Battery Saver is a handy feature that allows you to extend the battery life of your Pixel beyond the usual Battery Saver capabilities. It does this by switching off more features, pausing most apps and slowing the processing time between charges.
While it may sound tempting to have Extreme Battery Saver Mode on all the time to extend your time between charges, it does mean you’ll miss out on any notifications sent by paused apps. For this reason, it’s important to choose the “essential apps” you want to keep running, as well as to set a schedule for when you want your Pixel to resort to these extremes.
