Siri is draining my battery

I have an 11 Pro and I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. I did reset all the settings and it did not solve anything. After I've turned off Siri completely, my battery life was good again. Since today, my battery life is bad again and according to the battery settings, Siri is eating up battery, even with Siri completely turned off.

This is driving me crazy. Obviously I'm not the only one having the same problem and I'm wondering if Apple is aware of this issue.

Can you please try the following:

• Logout from iCloud on you iPhone
• Turn off your iPhone
• Logout from iCloud on your Apple TV (plug out the power cable)
• Turn off your Apple TV
• Wait 5 minutes
• Start your iPhone
• Login to iCloud
• Start you Apple TV
• Login to iCloud

It seems that Apple had issues with iCloud. Please try that and let us know if it works for you.

Same issue with disabled Siri consuming battery. Also same with mail app. After deleting mail, disabling Siri and resetting the settings I still had the same issue. With mail STILL consuming better as “recently delete app”! See all the light blue in the screenshot below.

I finally fixed it, working normally the past two days, by backing up the phone and doing a factory restore from the new backup.

IMHO this is ridiculous coming from apple let alone their own apps!!!

I have exactely the same problem, since a couple of weeks : even with a lock screen for hours, the battery drains twice a usually and Siri is the first on the list.

Battery health is 97%. iPhone Xr with iOs 13.

I tried this 2-3 weeks ago, but the battery drain (ca. 3 hours, maybe 5 if left unused) and Siri listed far and away the biggest culprit still remains.

I'll try this again, but expecting different results is foolish.

How can I delete Siri altogether until Apple gets this fixed?

I read that iOS 14 would address the issue - so I installed it yesterday. When I went to bed last night, battery on my iPad as 100%. Woke up this morning, battery was at 15%. Siri ate up 95% according to the Battery utility.

Apple is usually good at seeing strings like this one and issuing a fix. Waiting patiently.

I am having the same issue as well. Every app and iOS is up to date.

My phone went from lasting close to 2 full days with moderate use... to now lasting a few hours with little use.

Siri is using upwards of 70% of my battery with my phone idle. This is with Siri completely off.

Apple support was not able to solve this issue.

I tried everything support suggested including a few restores from computer then iCloud.

Got a brand new XR and the issue is still happening.

So this is 100% a software issue.

The hardware is brand new with 100% battery capacity.

I still have to work and must now carry a battery back up to use my brand new phone.

An engineer needs to figure this out.

Please!

After a hard restore from iTunes and Siri shut off, my battery is still draining but now it's Mail Background Activity eating it up. I have had to set all mail settings to "manual" but battery life is still far below what is should be for a relatively new iPhone X. I spoke to the Tech Dept. and their solution was to take my phone (and new iPad which is also having problems with battery life) to an Apple Store to have the batteries replaced. I am positive this is NOT a battery problem. Hope they come up with a fix. I shouldn't have to shut Siri off both new devices and set all my mail settings to manual.

They must be aware judging by the number of people reporting the problem. Also, when I talked to support a few days ago, they didn't even do a battery diagnostic, just told me to call the Tech Dept. When I spoke to the Tech Dept. the battery diagnostic showed the battery was fine, as it should be on a phone that's only a couple of months old. Their solution was to bring both my iPhone and iPad to an Apple Store to have the batteries replaced. This is NOT a battery issue. I did a hard restore from iTunes on my phone and it went from Siri draining the battery (while shut off completely) to Mail Background Activity doing the same thing. I changed all mail settings to "manual" and it's a bit better but nowhere near what a battery performance should be on a relatively new iPhone and a brand new iPad.

Hi bro, I am experiencing exactly the same issue. It happens on my iPhone XR and iPad Pro 11 2018 as well. Siri consumes about 40~60% battery and Mail comes second. I tried to reset all and even installed the system again through iTunes as per instructions from an Apple expert. None of them works.

Have you found a solution for that?
