I’ve had iOS 13 installed for over 2 months and have always had Optimized Battery Charging turned on, but it’s still not working. I understand that it takes a while to get going but this seems excessively long.
Thisbis a screenshot from last night:
I want to my battery to be as efficient as possible, so how can I get this feature to start working?
iPhone XS Max, iOS 13
Strange. It works on mine, but didn’t on 13.1 or 13.2. Now it stops at 80%. Then starts again and reaches 100% about the time that I pick up the phone in the morning. Do you have any apps that do background updates overnight? It’s detected energy usage that triggers the restart of charging.
Go to Settings/General/Background App Refresh. Any app listed there might be running overnight. Also Settings/Battery. Tap on any app and it will show background data used (but not when it was used). If you do this at night, then again in the morning you can calculate how much of the energy was used overnight.
Also, when you get up in the morning do you have a lot of notifications? Each notification uses some data and energy. Do you have any Push email accounts? Downloading the pushed messages uses battery energy.
Do you currently have iOS 13.3?
Yes I am.
I'm not aware of any apps that are updating overnight. How would I find that out?
I just looked at Battery and it shows absolutely no usage from the time I put the phone on the charger until the time I got up.
Thanks, I'll do that. Yes, I have Optimized... enabled.
Then I can’t contribute anything further. Use the Contact Support link at the top of this page to reach Apple directly.
BTW, have you checked to see that you have Optimized Charging enabled? Settings/Battery/Battery Health.
Optimized Battery charging still not working
