# Power saving mode

When you actively use your device, its battery runs out quickly. The battery capacity also decreases with time: the longer you've been using your device, the faster its battery drains. Power saving mode saves battery life so that you can use your device for longer before charging it.

## How power saving mode works {#how-works}

In this mode, Yandex Start:

- Reduces background tab activity.
- Disables reader mode.
- Uses hardware video [codecs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_codec) instead of [VP9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9) and [VP8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP8).
- Turns off the parallax effect for the background upon opening a new tab.
- Disables smooth animation of elements on the page.
- Disables interface animation.
- Takes other actions to optimize power consumption.

## Turn on {#on}

#### Automatically

By default, power saving mode turns on when the battery charge drops to 20%, and off when you start charging your device.

#### Always on

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
   Go to ![](../_assets/profile-icon.svg) **(profile picture)** → **App settings**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
1. Under **General**, tap **Power saving mode**.
1. Go to **Power-saving settings** and switch the slider to **On**.

## Turn off {#off}

#### Always off

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->

   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
1. Under **General**, tap **Power saving mode**.

## Settings {#adjustment}

You can choose when power saving mode is enabled:

   Go to ![](../_assets/profile-icon.svg) **(profile picture)** → **App settings**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
1. Under **General**, tap **Power saving mode**.
1. Go to **Power-saving settings** and use the slider to set the charge level to trigger the mode.
1. You can also choose browser features that work in power saving mode:
    - **Reader Mode**. Enable this option to make reader mode available.
    - **Smooth animation of web page elements**. This option enables smooth animation of site elements. This way, maps and online games are displayed in high quality.
    - **App animations**. Enable this option to make smooth animation of the app interface elements available.
