How to use Twelve without Android Marshmallow

One of the cool things Google has implemented in Android Marshmallow is Twelve, a special battery saver mode that promises to save up to 50% on your smartphone's charge. It sounds too good to be true, but this mode has really worked very well in recent months.

To better understand it, it recognizes when you are not using your device and disables all background apps from activity, but still saves them so you can use them where you left off last time. Although it seems quite simple, this has proven to be a very efficient method for those who need extra battery life. If you don't have Android Marshmallow installed on your device, you can still take advantage of Twelve features with a special app, as you can see below!

Using Twelve Without Android Marshmallow

The Twelve - For Better Battery Life app (which you can download from this link) can offer a very similar effect to the real Twelve from Android Marshmallow on devices that haven't received the Google update yet. Since it works on Android Kikat and Android Lollipop, there is compatibility with most current devices.

Once you install the app, open it to begin quick setup of the feature. At the first screen, click on “Enable Twelve” and grant permission for it to create VPN connections.

On the home screen, you will see screen brightness control symbols, application settings, and options for disabling Twelve.

By clicking on the settings, you can manage which apps can continue to work even when Twelve is active. This is entirely up to you as it depends on your personal use of the smartphone.

With everything done, Twelve will be ready to work according to your preferences and can be disabled at any time within the app. In a few days you may already realize the difference this makes in battery saving.
