2016-07-11T17:11:00.000Z

"Pokémon GO" is a battery hog, especially when you go on a long walk and want to make sure the app is searching for Pokémon the whole time. Luckily, there's a really handy "battery saver" mode that will help you get a lot more mileage off a single charge.

Here's how it works.

First, click the Poké Ball icon at the bottom of the screen.

Then go to the Settings menu.

Check the bubble that says "Battery Saver."

Now, when you have "Pokémon GO" open, you can hold the phone upside down at your side, and your phone's screen will almost go completely dark.

You can also go into your phone's menu and disable the "Auto-Lock" setting that makes your screen turn off after a certain amount of time to make sure the app is always searching for Pokémon!

Happy hunting, y'all!
