Ever since updating to iOS 13.5.1, my phone's battery drain is ridiculous. Previously, from the time I removed my phone from the charger at 6:30 AM until I put it back on the charger at 11:00 PM, my battery would drain to around 80%. Now, it's at 80% by 8:30 AM. The device is also hot all the time. Clearly, something is wrong with this update, and it needs to be fixed.

Hi Bella_1954
Sadly some updates do cause iPhones to work harder [generating heat], they usually settle down after a few recharge/restart cycles.
If you contact Apple Support they can diagnose any battery issues or whatever.
Turning off Push and changing to Fetch Manually helps [see SravanKrA's tips above] as well as turning off Background App Refresh.
Check Settings>Battery to see what is using the most power and adjust that app if you can. If you know an app using the most power is one you close properly then definitely do a Force Restart - this clears up any legacy issues that have carried over from before the update [if you left a lot of apps 'open' when you update, this can happen] -
Force Restart: In quick succession: Briefly press & release the Up Volume, then briefly press & release the Down Volume, then press and HOLD DOWN the Power Button, and keep it held as the screen shows the power off slider, still keeping the Power Button held while the screen goes dark and keep it held until the Apple logo appears, then release it. The phone will restart, hopefully a lot cleaner than before.
best of luck.
Oh, and yes, those cute little battery life saving tips from the “expert” community are obviously irrelevant to this problem.
That really sucks!
My battery on my iphone 11 was amazing until I did the last update.
I have made no changes to my phone otherwise!!!
Please send out a correction update to the last one.
Is there a fix on the way??????!!!!!!
No, there is not. Probably waiting for ios 13.6 and hoping that will fix it. IOs 14 didn't fix it for me so i don't know if the update is helpful.
Oh no, regie48, it’s not just you! This is a dreadful update, soooo frustrating, and in no way is this encouraging me to buy a new Apple phone!!!
Today I got to the point where I was stressed out. Smh
I also downloaded the 13.6 update today, and since then my phone has crashed THREE times, once during an important call. You are definitely not alone, Regie48. So much for 13.6. SORT THIS OUT, APPLE
I’ve upgraded to 14.0 beta, battery drain still a problem and had a couple of crashes, but I guess that’s normal for a beta.
I have also downloaded 13.6 and battery is still draining. Not happy :(
Same here. Downloaded 13.6. Battery still draining and phone getting hot. Not happy.
My issues happen when I turn iCloud on and then the Contacts app gets EXTREMELY sluggish.
Mine too! Never once had an issue. Now my Iphone which is always connected to apple car play (4 plus hours per day)in my car which can charge it, is at 42% after an hour.
update 13.6 did not fix my issue.
Am I the only one without battery problems? I have an iPhone XR and iOS 13.6.1. My battery lasts the whole day: 100% at 07:00 to about 15-25% at 24:00 and my phone remains lukewarm.
Same also my fingerprint doesn’t seem to work anymore!
After update to iOS 13.5.1 battery drain is ridiculous and phone overheats
