Smart phone functions on or off?

[HipGnosis]

For those of you with a smart phone; do you leave all the functions on or turn them on when you want/need to use them (and then turn them off)?
I'm talking about; data, GPS/location, bluetooth, WiFi.
So many apps assume that everything is always on.
I have a pretty low data plan and use WiFi at home, so I turn data off.
I have the other things off to save battery life.

Check your phone to see if you have Ultra Power Saving Mode.

That only leaves a few apps on your home screen like Phone, and messages and two others.

When I do that my battery will last for about 9 days.

You can turn it on and off if you need something else.

When I'm at home, WiFi is on, cellular data is off, and GPS is off. When I go out, it is the reverse.

I turn off bluetooth useless I need to pair with my car radio, for 'hands free' talk, or to stream music off my phone.

Data off, wifi always on, as well as Bluetooth. They are paired with my hearing aids. My battery holds a charge for three days, with light usage.
