Battery draining

I should’ve not installed iOS 13. It drains 25% from 100% charge in under an hour. My phone used to hold a charge longer than that before the download. This is frustrating. Really frustrating.

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Try some of these options too.

  1. Put on Low Power Mode
  2. Put Auto Lock On (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
  3. Put Auto Answer Off
  4. Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
  5. Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
  6. Manually lower brightness from Control Center
  7. If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
  8. Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
  9. Location services to be allowed only while using the app
  10. Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
  11. Turning off Background App Refresh 
  12. Charge before it drops below 20-30%
  13. Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
  14. Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
  15. Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
  16. Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
  17. Periodically Check your Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)

Hi,

With iOS 13, your iPhone will recommend specific settings changes to save your battery life. To see what your iPhone recommends you change:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Scroll down and tap Battery.
  3. Tap Battery Health, where your iPhone will suggest changes to settings that will improve battery life. 
  4. You can tap on each suggestion to jump to the setting that needs changing.
  5. Or, if you don't want to make the change, at least you know it's contributing to your battery drain.
