Siri is draining my battery

Why is Siri draining my battery. It happens even when Siri is turned off in settings. My phone can have a 100% charge before going to bed and the phone is dead in the morning.

Yesterday I reset my phone and now Siri is no longer a battery hog. Go to Settings and tap General > Reset >Reset All Settings. You will keep your data, emails etc but will have to re-setup things like apple pay, locations services and synching iMessage to our Mac or iPad.

I agree, definitely a software issue. I'm beginning to wonder if Apple looks at anything in here or just relies on its customers to figure it out themselves. They charge a premium for their products and I used to think it was worth it. I was a convert from Windows and Android. Apple products used to just work, now they are just a buggy as Windows and Android.

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!!!

As of some time last week, this suddenly stopped happening on my iPhone and iPad. All of a sudden Siri is back down to 1% battery usage rather than 60%.

I wish I could say I did something but I didn't. Maybe they finally fixed it?

Same on my phone, besides that Siri is completely turned off.

Reseting doesn’t solve the problem.
