My iPhone battery drains whenever I listen to Apple Music, but it drains significantly when I use the lyrics option. From listening to a 3-4 minute song, the battery drains by 10-30%. Is there a fix for this or something I need to do? When I check battery usage, I do not see Music listed as an issue. It also happens on my iPad as well.
iPhone 7 Plus
NB: Always back up before following these steps.
I advise deleting the Music App on your iPhone and starting again. This will also delete the app on your Apple Watch automatically. Sign out of iTunes and then signed back in. Reinstall the app on your iPhone. Reload your library on your iPhone. Finally, I synched all of the tracks and playlists I wanted to play on my iPhone and Apple Watch again. This seemed to work for me. The battery is back to normal. In the battery health tab it says the Music app is behaving normally. I also recommend signing out of iTunes and clearing any tracks off all peripheral devices except your main music library.
Me too.
iphone 7 iOS 13.3.1
phone was 98% at midnight. Killed EVERY app except music. Fell asleep listening to Mozart, so no lyrics.
woke up few hours later and battery was completely discharged.
loking at activity, nothing but music and lock screen active.
Battery at 98% health and is less then a year old.
I’m having this issue as well. Interestingly, Music is not even running on my phone when it happens. But it IS draining the battery from the background while I am listening to music on my iMac. Like others have said, it also results in overheating.
I have an Apple Watch and the watch didn’t cause major battery drainage. My battery activity indicates the music app is guzzling power from my battery. Both when in use and in the background. I thought it might be my battery but there’s seems to be a lot of people with the same problem. Apple Music popped up with a message recently and I stupidly just agreed to what ever it was and since then my battery is only lasting 1-2 hours. The issue has only been over the past couple days
I have same issue. 60%+ of my battery usage is caused by Apple Music, yet I have not been using that app. I beleive it’s only started recently and possibly related to my carrier data plan having been exhausted...
I started having this issue recently on iphone X running 13.5.
here is the kicker, I deleted Apple Music off my phone as I dont use it and its still using up 60%+ of my battery!!!
we need a sustainable solution from Apple
iPhone X iOS 13.5.1 and also the music app is draining my battery, 70% (or 11hours and 20 minutes) off background activity, and I didn’t listen to music today. The download feature was already disabled on my phone. 🙁
Dam I’m having this same problem!!!!! I called Apple support yesterday and they acted like I was crazy! It’s either the latest iOS update, the Music App or both!! Dammmm. IPhone is HOT and battery drains very fast. Music app is culprit. Also, Music app doesn’t download songs anymore. So, no offline music. I thought Apple was better than this.
Mine iPhone 11 battery is draining due to the music app running in the background, doing what I am not sure though it consumes 90%+ of my battery. Today, the battery is draining even when plugged in and is now warm to the touch. It did not charge at all overnight and I cannot keep it charge today.
Me too iPhone X 13.3
Good battery health
Battery drain & Overheating!
Please fix it asap 🙏
I am experiencing the same problem as well,i love to listen to Stations but Apple Music is really a battery killer,..
Actually it is ok on my iPhone 5c on iOS 10. It can still play ~50-100hrs of music in flight mode, while having about 60% battery capacity. The iPhone 7 would die in 10 hours or less.
This doesn’t work. It appears I am not the only one having this same issue.
This does not work.
I’m having the same issue as well, I’m on a 7 plus and I lose 5-10% battery for a 3 minute song it’s insane, I don’t even bother with it hopefully they fix it soon it’s a neat feature
iPhone 8, iOS 13.5.1 same problem I even uninstalled the music app and now it shows recent deleted apps draining the battery.
