6. Turn Off Auto-WiFi

Auto-WiFi is a setting on an android phone which makes your mobile data connection to automatically switch to WiFi whenever there is any available WiFi connection.

This setting does not have a high impact on battery consumption but also take part in it. In the sense that it is an automatic action and also make the WiFi to keep searching for any available hotspots in the background so it will be advisable to turn off this setting.
