iOS 13.5.1 battery drain

I have the same problem with the battery drain from background activity and it’s caused by Apple Music, also I can’t download any song unless I reboot the iPhone but it repeats the problem a few minutes later.

Thats why I delete the app and for the moment I’m trying Spotify, I don’t have any issues with it.

Please all of you

Send a feedback to Apple please

Apple needs to know about the catastrophic update they made.

Maybe just if it cares about Apple Music LOL!

I do not have the subscription and Music is not the culprit for me but even the replacement iPad I got is not fully charging

What it solves- for 2-3 days - is to force restart it. This is an issue of the diabolic 13.5.1

Apple needs to fix it!! It's going on since June

Shame on APPLE!

The issue is with the iOS 13.5.1 - I do not have Apple Music, and I have all apps disabled for background. I am not the only person in this household with the issue so it is not just my phone. I have a 6S and this started happening this past week: the phone gets blazing hot when in use, and drains battery completely in less than an hour. I thought it was related to storage issue, which I resolved, but that did not help. Apparently a fix is in 13.6 which is still in beta, but you would think Apple would respond more quickly, or yes, lose a customer to some other brand. It is extremely difficult to be held hostage like this, especially when I count on my phone for work.

I HAVE sent feedback to Apple, but I am just one voice.

Apple has made available the iOS 13.6 golden master available to developers today. The update comes with new features like improved support for downloading and installing system updates, the all-new Apple News+ Audio content, as well as the exciting CarKey feature. Bugs fixes and improvement also included in this update.

Ok so weird... after uninstalling the Apple Music app and reinstalling and then signing up for Apple Music the problem resolved itself after 48 hours?! I won’t be keeping Apple Music after the trial period. I had to subscribe to get all my music back from iTunes. Again, wondering if this is their way of getting you to subscribe???

That’s exactly what happened, my last comment was deleted.

so, here’s my advice for this overheating problem. Buy a new battery, turn off all Siri, music and push notifications, wait for another update past the 13.4 update because it appears that Apple Music is still causing issues with “some phones”. Use only what you have to and keep the phone plugged in until absolutely needed.

since I did the above, I have really good battery life.

ios13 and MacOS Catalina both need to reanalyse all photos to new standards and both devices will run hot for a few days.

and if they happen to be in icloud you can add intense net traffic to the mix.

Overtime when you have subjected different charging cycles to your device (usually over a month), it loses its ability to give an exact measurement of battery level of your device. So it’s imperative to calibrate the battery of your device once a month. Also, it is okay to restart your device once in 7-10days to get rid of remnant temporarily files, all you will lose is 2 min. For this, do not bring the battery level down to zero. Keep it at around 30% before doing. And as for calibration, I presume you know the steps already. Always try to use the charger that came with your device. Knock-off chargers will only prove harmful.

depends if you managed to completely turn it off with the slider which I seem to remember was a problem.

It's difficult to remember all the cases on such a long thread. If you had started your own thread you would have gotten individual attention from top level contributors.

yeah, about that... the best thing i have managed to achieve is to get good battery life for a few days. Then the drain inevitably comes back on its own. I thought all this was mail related, but it seems that it is not.

The thing is that i can get a good battery life (3% drop per night), use it for 2 days with a single charge but then the drain would come back randomly and stay. I really don't know the cause for that. For example, i had the good battery life, went to sleep, during the night the phone lost 3% (which is brilliant), the i watched youtube, browsed my photos for an hour and then put my phone away (all apps closed). the phone remained idle but now it was draining again. This leads me to think that somehow in the morning i did something that triggered a background process that began to drain the battery. But now i know that this specific occasion is not mail related as i uninstalled mail a week ago or so. The only apps i opened were settings, youtube, snapchat and photos; and after that the drain started again.

Food for thoughts.

Another thing is that i was doing force restart very often, and my battery was starting to act funny (uneven discharge with big drops, even increase in battery level with no charger connected) but i fixed this by doing a power cycle (discharging to 15% or so, then connecting a charger, turning off my phone, charging for 3 hours or so, then turning my phone on and doing a force restart) - also an interesting thing is that after this procedure the drain went away for a few days as well.

Food for thoughts again.

I found that some apps have battery drain when I checked on battery health and where has some background activities drawing battery. I tried to delete those apps and seems stable now.

Thanks for that.

But not all apps presumably (none of mine do AFAIK)

You need to push that back to apple on your feedback assistant. They will not read it here as you know

You need to try both iCloud accounts with no apps installed. To see if the drain is the app or the iOS

96% health isn’t good at all for a 1 month device. I suggest you to apply the warranty.

Yesterday suddenly I faced the same in 13.5.1 on my iPhone 8.

For me helped to force quit all apps and force restart my phone (volume up, down, holding power).
