iOS 13.5.1 battery drain

Jacek291 Did you check Settings, Battery for usage stats?

Did you try full reset to factory settings without restore from backup?

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

Doesnt help everyone but fixed it for some.

Ok guys I have managed to come up to solve both Battery Drain and Heat up issue, I hope this helps everyone who are having the problem and it's for all iPhones with iOS 13.5.1, follow these steps until iOS 13.6 is release with next week or so:

Battery Drain Issue:

1. Switch to light mode always, turn off Dark mode.

2. Turn off background app refresh for all apps.

3. Turn off location, only activate when you need it for the app.

4. Turn of all Synchronization of iCloud and your Backup to iCloud.

5. Turn of Siri all options.

6. Close all background apps after using it.

Heating issue:

1. Turn on light mode always, turn of Dark mode.

2. When watching video, lower the volume to 50% and then listen.

3. Don't use Camera for very long time and use minimum settings for it.

4. When playing games, lower the volume and use it for less time.

5. Use low power mode when using heavy apps.

Good luck People!

Its good practice to check what applications are enabled to background update and disable them if it isn't required, some apps don't really need to and can just update when you start them. I disabled background updates on a whole raft of apps and only left it enabled for some deemed necessary when i was troubleshooting. I am just glad my Wifes phone is now behaving, something in the last update has maybe upset one or two of the apps, all her apps were up to date too it was one of the first things i checked.

Did you try deleting the apple music app?

The only thing that worked for me was deleting the music app, restarting and reinstalling the apple music.

If worried about your music when you delete the app, from my experience all my music is from apple music so it all shows up again including my playlists I've downloaded and custom made. All the songs appear also, it just has the little cloud and arrow symbol and have to simply download again on the phone.

Have had the same issue, contacted Apple "support" yesterday evening UK time, they are not interested in dealing with the issue, showed screenshots of this forum and others with the 1000s of issues y'all having, not interested, only " solution " was to completely restore to factory settings, which is a hinderance to say the least.

Ive fixed by deleting Music app and restarted phone. not going to bother with Apple Music, going to give Spotify a try.

Apple service really poor in reacting to customer concerns, so suggest everybody does a feedback form as mentioned before

So I called Apple today and was told by the person I got I was the first person who has reported this that she knew if. Everyone has to call!!! She hadn’t a clue but I shared my screen with her and she could see my music app in my case was draining my battery. I have iPhone 11 so we tried to delete the music app and reinstall it and it continued to happen. That took an hour and a half. Do I just deleted my music app and all was fine!! When Apple decides to address this issue I will do without music. Better than being plugged in all day. Mine was 90% background usage!!!!!

My iPhone SE 1st ed after 13.5.1 update has gone from losing 1% of battery level per minute to almost reasonable; the things that I have done are repeatedly turn on and off: WiFi, Bluetooth, and hard restarts. With all other background apps being off prior to the first test. I feel that my issue was related to the WiFi.

Since a few days my battery of my iPhone 8 (iOS 13.5.1) drains at a rate of approx. -25% every hour.

Under my iPhone Settings > Battery I noticed an extraordinary background activity (several hours) of the Music App, without being used/opened.

The following preliminary actions did not solve the problem:

• forced restart
• deactivation of background app refresh

Now by coincidence I found out, that each time I close and re-open the Music App, the SHUFFLE-mode is ACTIVATED with another song loaded.

Therefore I have a strong guess, that whenever you close the Music App, music is played continuously in SHUFFLE-mode in the background without noticing resp. hearing it. As soon as I leave the Music App on, deactivate the SHUFFLE-mode and keep the music stopped from playing, the battery drainage resumes to a normal rate.

Did anyone do the iCloud disconnect/connect account cycle trick and still have the issue ? It works so well for me that I am curious to see how/if it worked for others as well.

My battery was lasting 6 hours. Now, it can survive 36 hours. And still at 13.5.1.

The background drainers seems to be solved...

As earlier mentioned in this topic, it isn’t bad to restore your iPhone/iPad to factory settings. On my iPad, I did a restore of my iCloud back-up. Even after that method, battery life became slightly better.

On my iPhone after two days of usage without charging, now still 45%. As good as in the early days.

Previously (on 13.4) I did a complete factory reset, but installed every app manually. 13.5.1 came on and did the wrong tings. Again a factory restore, but restored iCloud back-up. I had to wait for 2 weeks before things became “stable”.

Maybe the one’s who still suffers battery drain, should whipe their phones install everything back and wait for 2 weeks...

My temporary fix is to kill all apps and turn off auto dark mode. No problem for the last 24 hours.

And on the opposite, for those suffering of this bug, disable auto dark mode and killing all apps will fix it.

Same thing, disable auto dark mode and kill every app after using them. Problem fixed until the official patch.

Seems to be all issues resolved after updating to 13.6 beta!!!

I hope no need to write again commenting that the problems came back :-o

For now, all is fine.

I’ve deleted native music app which was hogging mine. Problems has now gone away
