Can I use the Battery Saver feature while using Surfshark?

Updated:

In this article, you will learn about the Battery Saver feature and whether it is compatible with Surfshark.

 

Should you use Battery Saver with Surfshark?


Battery Saver feature lets you save battery energy by slowing down or disabling specific processes on your phone. This means that it will most likely kill the VPN connection or make it unable to connect to a VPN server. Aside from these two issues, you will most likely have general connection issues if you succeed in connecting.

We highly recommend having the Battery Saver feature disabled while you are securely browsing the internet with Surfshark. This way, you will better protect your anonymity online. However, if saving your battery's life is very important to you, we offer a possible solution below.
