After update to iOS 13.5.1 battery drain is ridiculous and phone overheats

I am so glad I found this thread. My I-phone SE had been trouble free, apart from a glitch that was introduced by an IOS update some time ago, and corrected by a subsequent one. Suddenly my battery started dying half way through the day. I hadn't installed any new apps or changed any settings. When I went to settings, to show battery usage, the information there suggested that Pedometer++ (which I have used every day for the last year or so), working in the background, was responsible for using 75% of the battery charge. What? How is that possible? I was on the point of taking my phone to a local shop to get a new battery installed, even though I have only had the phone for 18 months, and the maximum capacity is showing as 94%. I am hoping IOS 13.6 which I have just installed will fix this problem - time will tell. What annoys me most with many of these bugs is that when you contact anyone at Apple, they don't seem to be aware of them, even though they cause problems for many users. It would be nice if they said "Don't worry, we know about the problem, we're on the case, and it will be sorted in the next update."

So I downloaded the beta update 13.6, why? Because they said it’s going to fix my battery drain. Well, let’s just say it’s a myth. Thats right, you read it right a myth. Batter drain still exist, today i was at the gym phone was charged all the way to 80% then 5 mins later 0%, smh. I want to see who else got this issue. Is it just me??????

Same here. After updating my 6S Plus to 13.5.1, my battery health dropped from 100% to 97% in few days. Battery drains with in 5-6 hrs to 20%from 100%. Its my spare phone.. finally updated to 13.6 but, the issue of battery drain still there. not sure apple fixed it in this update.. yesterday, i have updated to ios 14 beta 2. Do a factory reset and download beta and factory reset again. if possible download apps manually. i didnt restore using icloud/itunes. battery drain is there but not as fast as 13.6.. a bit slower than that.. no fix as of now

I've downloaded iOS 14, without the factory resets done, still have the same battery drain as before. It’s never been as dramatic as described by some, but I run out of juice around 8pm on a iPhone 11. Before 13.5.1 it would run till 11am the next day.

I reset 2 iPhones and lost a lot some photos and other data, like from my watch which had to be paired again, and links I had saved to my home screen. Email any links to yourself so you can easily resave later. You will have to load all your apps again so make sure you know all your passwords. The battery problem disappeared but it was a lot of work. Calendars and contacts remained. Some people have had luck with 13.6. I did the beta 14 on 2 ipads and had to reset one finally. It works fine now. Good luck. Call Apple support and they will walk you through it.

I have an iPhone8 that I have had minor battery issues with since 13.5 update, but had got around this by limiting app refresh. I updated to 13.6 yesterday and put my phone in the kitchen last night before I went to bed....it had 90% battery at that point. This morning when I got up the phone had shut down due to low battery. I checked the battery use and none of my apps had used any battery overnight.....so WHY NO BATTERY POWER THIS MORNING.....this is such a frustrating issue since it takes 5 minutes charge to even open the phone back up and then it still has to sit charging before I can use it

Just wanted to share with those of you experiencing the battery drains that I updatedi my iphone 7plus and ipad with 13.6.1 and all of my issues are now resolved. Hope this works for othes. Thanks to all for all of the sharing.

I have the iPhone SE1 and if I’m text messaging or looking up stuff online, my phone will be dead in about 10 minutes. That’s from a 100% charge. I hate doing software updates for this reason. I have to keep my phone connected to a portable battery charger. I have kept my phone in great condition no scratches on screen or back, looks brand new still and battery is shot after the update. This should be illegal for Apple to intentionally decrease battery life with each update

My phone is on fire right now just trying to find an answer to this. I’ve never had any issues with any iPhone like I do right now. All day yesterday, prompts have been warning me that an update will take place. It updated and now I have a phone overheating. Before yesterday, I was having an app shut down within one second of opening it. Something really bad happened and Apple hasn’t been able to fix it.

Same with me this is horrible I just bought the iphone 11 pro. The phone is not even 4 months old and battery drain is insane! I guess Apple is still doing there scheme to get us to buy a new phone. I will visit the apple store and see if thy can remove the "bug".

Having the same issue

I’ve turned everything off. The battery drains faster than ever. Please fix this update. It is horrible

I’m having the same problem. Any ideas? The only way for my phone to go up in charge is power saving mode, otherwise it drains battery faster than it charges. Had no issues before update.

Since updating my 7-Plus iPhone, battery life is horrible. I’ve made no prior changes. Screen was off almost 22 hrs since midnight and still kept draining. Please correct!!

My god same is happening to mine! My phone is so warm that I can’t have it in my pocket... this needs to be addressed, otherwise legal will have to be involved again... thanks Apple!
