I installed iOS 13 on my iPhone 6S today morning and since then i have pretty high battery usage.I checked battery and saw photos using a lot of battery on the background.How can i fix this it is literally killing my battery.
iPhone 6s
I have an iPhone 6S, with OSX 13.3.1. I have had the same problem where, Photos eats up 50% and more of battery usage, even when I am not using the photos app during the time period I'm seeing reports for.
I noticed this started soon after I started using the "Albums" ... the Shared albums feature. The Photos app really became started performing poorly, it would crash when trying to work with the albums, whereas, it never crashed before, the phone started getting hot, the battery dropping like mad, etc.
Recently I got really fed up with it, anyways I downloaded everything I could from the shared albums, and disabled the shared albums. After 3 days it seems to have solved the problem. To disable:
Settings > Click on your face, the top Apple ID menu > iCloud > Photos > Turn everything off, especially "Shared Albums."
The photos themselves are backed up I believe as part of the backup of the phone. Periodically I move all the photos off the phone, and I have my own methods for simply backing things up using multiple external hard drives. I believe this is the best, most flexible, cheapest, safest way to do backups.
Thanks! Good luck,
Kevin
I never had shared Album on, always have iCloud photos turned off, still a problem for me
Thanks for the effort so far! Keep us in touch but sounds promising!
Not helpful I'm afraid. If you read the thread this is way beyond a generic Apple 'help' page link.
Possibly the right way for the root cause... My oldest photos were from 2013.
Just sitting since a few minutes in front of my Macbook Air, and noticing the fan speeds up. This topic here in mind I find that photolibraryd is constantly at about 98% CPU load !! And using Fotos app and scrolling (with info window open) through foots, I find some with odd long file names...
Therefore I can confirm that I have high cpu utilitzation on Mac by photolibraryd as well as some photos with odd long file names.
During the next few days I will aim to find all instances and shorten/delete them. And then to see what happens.
I also have the same issue of battery drain, i am sleeping the whole time and look the battery is draining drastically from 26% - 8%, it says usage is almost all facebook? Really? Seriously? This is even a new phone at 100% maximum battery capacity? So tell me.
me either ，you could reboot your device it's will be ok until you next charge
