How to make your phone battery last all weekend
No charging point when you’re camping? No problem, if you change the basic settings on your phone you can keep the juice going even longer. Close apps you’re not using, turn down the brightness and switching off Bluetooth helps saves on that precious battery life. Also keeping it on airplane mode will also save more battery. At V festival this year there are Virgin Media phone charging points scattered across the site.
How to take the perfect selfie outdoors
To take the perfect selfie at a festival, it’s best to wait until just before sunset, then when you’re ready to pout and pose face the sun – the low light will give a very flattering affect on your photos. Want to take pictures at nighttime? Download the Torch app - it will light up pictures and give a flattering glow.
