IOS 13.1.3 battery drain

OK, do this-->Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Don't log in to iCloud, install any apps or add any email accounts, and check your battery life for a day. If your battery life is still bad restore your phone using iTunes so it gets a fresh copy of iOS 13. Report the results. If battery life is OK log in to iCloud. Test again for a day.

If battery life is still OK restore your backup and test again. If battery life gets worse you have a defective app. Start with Facebook as a likely suspect.

Go to the Settings app. Tap on Battery. It will list all of the apps that are using a significant amount of energy and how much each contributes. If you tap on one of the apps it will display the breakdown of screen and background usage.

I had the battery drain issue on an iphoneX. I recalibrated my battery and it is working much better.

1. Discharge the battery completely.
2. Charge the battery for a full 6 hours with the power off.
3. Power on. I was good to go.

Not quite as good as before but very close.

Step 1. is very easy todo at the moment just wait a few hours and it's drained :-)

So many complaints? Are you serious? Here is an example of "so many complaints"

That's almost THIRTEEN THOUSAND complaints and 2.6 MILLION views. At a time when there were only 100 million phones. To scale that up to the present that would be over 100 THOUSAND complaints. That was a real problem that affected about 5% of all iPhones, and it was fixed in 2 weeks. So it accumulated that number of posts in 2 weeks.

If your phone has a battery life problem you need to find the app that is causing it. HINT: It isn't iOS 13.1.3. It is one (or maybe 2) apps that are not working correctly. You need to find the apps, kill them and restart your phone. My battery life with iOS 13 is noticeably better than it was with iOS 12, which was also pretty good.

My battery problem was greatly reduced by turning off the contrast as if using it in the dark and only turning it up when I was using the phone !

Usually, links to external sites in posts are to drive traffic to the poster's site (and thus get click credit) rather than to actually solve a problem. Especially in this case where the 3 minute video could be summarized in 3 short sentences.

If your battery state of charge jumps around you need a new battery. Take the phone to an Apple store where they can test it and replace it if needed. Or use the Contact Support link at the top of this page; they can do a remote test. If you install the Apple Support app from the app store you can contact support directly from the app and schedule an appointment. Or use the link below.

I have two 6S phones and they are draining at around 1% per minute after this update! But this only happens at home where there is poor signal reception. In my office where I have a strong signal it is normal. So it seems to be linked to the phone struggling to reach a cell tower... I though Apple solved this issue 10 years ago!

I would have to disagree that having a bad app that is doing this isn't the problem for everyone.

As I stated I have a newer (less than a year old) XS and had no issues with iOS12; in fact it was amazing. I still had no issues after iOS 13 and then the subsequent patches but the latest update iOS 13.1.3 has effected my battery life. I have not downloaded any new apps and have no heavy use. I have turned off the Optimized Battery Charging as another poster suggested. I will see if this helps any.

I agree with Oscar-24!!!!

my phone was fine and I put off updating fto

13.1.2 to iOS 13.1.3 until my phone forced me to. Just after I did something flashed across my screen about my battery. It was so fast I have no idea what it said. Something about the battery life and charging it over night and 80%. During the day I’m at work and not on my phone so it really should not drain much. And it didn’t until iOS 13.1.3. So there’s definitely a sw issue

now apple needs a fix to fix 13.1.3😡
