Apple Music draining battery

I just used Apple Music app probably for the first time in ages a few days ago, and have had huge battery drain these last few days. Help my phone is wearing out really fast! I only tried rebooting it so far. I see over 50% battery being used by music just like others above. IPhone 8. Latest iOS version.

Same issue here. Phone feeling warm, battery draining way too fast, shows music app running for 14 hrs in background when I haven’t used it all day. I also have an Apple Watch not sure if the sync is the issue? Did not use music on my watch either...

This is what’s happening to my iPhone X. I use Music once a month at most and haven’t opened it in weeks, and yet it’s draining my battery so fast and my phone is always hot. Incidentally, I paid off my phone this week. Is this Apple trying to get me to buy a new phone?

Hi, I have the same issue! Apple Music background activity is absolutely draining my battery! I have literally taken my phone of charge, and within 40 minutes it is down to 88%! I have an iPhone 8+ and I am running iOS 13.5.1

would uninstalling the Apple Music App and reinstalling help!

I have this exact same issue - the Music App has suddenly become a battery hog. iPhone 11 showing Music using 64% of battery over the last 24 hours - 18h 54m background usage and 19minutes on screen. What is going on?

I’m having these same issues. I haven’t used this app in ages. On Thursday, I decided to download a couple songs. They wouldn’t even download and I haven’t touched the app since. Ever since, my battery dies within an hour of use. Checked my battery life, wtf Apple Music?

I’ve attached two photos. The first is from Wednesday July 1 prior to using this app in, I don’t know, a year? The second is from the last 24 hours. Keep in mind, I haven’t opened the app since Thursday.

Apple. Fix this.

I have used the Music app and Apple Music service every day for years. This problem seems to have started on 7/2, and really ramped up on 7/3. For the last three days, my Music app reports more than 24 hours of background usage in a 24 hour period. The phone is really hot, an I have to charge it twice a day, when I used to get two days out of a charge. It sounds from above like there were some issues in the past, that had some fixes, but it also seems like this came out of nowhere last week for a bunch of people.

Interestingly, I've has a few instances during this time, where my phone has re-connected to a Bluetooth device that I had specifically disconnected from. In one case, my phone was paired with Bluetooth speakers upstairs, when the speakers stopped working, and the music started playing on a speaker downstairs. What is going on?

Same thing guys but get this.. my iPhone XS stopped responding on 7/3 and I know it had to do with this issue. The bad thing is the phone motherboard was destroyed and I had to get and buy a new iPhone and I am having the exact same issue with my new one! It’s killing my battery on this one and getting way too warm. Apple Support help!!

I’ve been having this same issue as well!! All of a sudden on Friday, 7/3, my phone started getting VERY hot and the battery drained quicker than ever before! It even ate up 21GB of data within a 3 hour period (because I wasn’t connected to WiFi)!! I’ve done everything I know to do! I see some of you have said to restore from iTunes - I will give that a try, but it sounds like Apple needs to respond ASAP and get this corrected!!!!

The same thing has been happening to my iPhone X for at least 2 weeks now. I have to charge my phone several times a day because of how fast it drains. I don’t even use Apple Music and it hasn’t been open in years. It also gets insanely hot during use and has even given me the heat warning while inside my air conditioned home. Apple needs to fix this ASAP

Well, I decided to restore my phone from Mac backup - let me advise you NOT to do that. I have lost everything and it's taking forever to actually restore - assuming that it actually does. I have been without a phone ALL day because of Apple's amazing screw up and lack of solutions to this problem they have caused. So, if you all can figure out another way to fix your phone without restoring it, I would advise that. None of it was working for me - so I was left this option. :(

Same issue. Battery being drained at an alarming rate due to background usage (87%). Started 3 days ago. Also causing it to get hot, and fearing it might get dangerous. Need to charge close to 4 times a day. Negatively affecting me doing business. Please fix this issue soon.

I'm having this same issue, but from what I can see, I don't have any music trying to download actively.

For those of you who have deleted the music app and redownloaded, did it delete all of your music?

Thank goodness its not only me! I had this exact same issue, i updated the software and all apps were up to date and my battery is draining from Apple Music. I had uninstalled all apps that were connected to it and reinstalled them without connecting again. And i could not for the life of me figure out what this “background” usage is!! My phone feels like its on fire too but only in upper right side and on back of phone. Apple engineers need to fix this ASAP. 🙏🏻

Same issue with ITunes on my phone. Phone is burning up. Switched off background app refresh. Restarted phone. Battery health 91%. iPhone X running iOS 13.5.1. Had to recharge several times during the day just to keep up. Help?
