Severe battery drain continues, iOS 13.2.2, iPad Pro

Any new suggestions for a fix? I’ve tried all those listed in online articles.

Have had this problem since installing iOS 13, and 13.2.2 did NOT fix this problem. I unplugged my iPad at 6:15am (after charging to 100% overnight). Started using it to check the news. At 7:45, battery was 72% and dropping fast. it’s 8:15am and I’m at 62%. I’ll not get to noon without full depletion at this rate. I’m having to charge at least twice per day or stay attached to wall plug.


I installed 13.2.2 a few days ago, so apps should have had time to “catch up” with the release. Backlight is set low (too darned low for comfortable viewing). Safari is the big user at 87%, followed by Mail at 12%. No other apps are open. Safari has 4 tabs open, two of which are Apple. I continue to hope (foolishly maybe) that each new release will fix the problem, which began with installation of iOS 13. In another discussion, someone mentions re-doing a setting (clearing something?). I have not tried that yet, but don’t recall specifics and can’t find that discussion. Any help will be appreciated. iPad is my primary computer, and I need to be able to move around with it during the day. I don’t use Siri (some discussions blame Siri, I blame Safari).

iPad Pro, iOS 13

If you tried the commonly available advice (acknowledging that you’ve not listed the actual mitigation that you’ve attempted), If not tried already, I would suggest that you attempt restoring your iPad from iTunes on your PC/Mac. This will completely reinstall a fresh copy of iPadOS.

An OTA update only replaces changed portions of the OS - so, if corrupted by a previous update, a further OTA-update or system restart is unlikely to resolve an existing system corruption. By contrast, as previously noted, a full restoration from your PC/Mac replaces the entire OS.


Provided that you have completed a backup prior to the restore process, you can simply restore your data after fixing the OS.


I hope this helps.
