Create a Low Battery Mode Auto Shortcut for iPhone

Watching your battery dip below 20% while you are miles away from a charger is stressful. Apple's default Low Power Mode prompt is helpful, but it only does the basics. A custom low battery mode shortcut for iPhone goes further - one tap when you notice the battery dropping and your phone locks down hard to squeeze every last minute out of it.

How this battery saving shortcut works

Tap the shortcut the moment you notice your battery running low. It immediately enables Apple's standard Low Power Mode, drops your screen brightness to minimum, and turns off Wi-Fi scanning and background app refresh. Combine it with a Personal Automation in the Shortcuts app to have it trigger automatically at a specific percentage.
