Battery iPhone SE 2 draining fast

The battery of my new iPhone SE 2, iOS 13.6.1 is draining very fast. Battery saving settings are set to save as much battery as possible (e.g. 'refreshing in background is off, dark modus is on, location services is off, etc). There seems to be a problem with 'screen off time': although automatic lock is set on 30 seconds, when I look under Battery in Settings: Screen off time is only 3 minutes (screen on time 51 minutes) since yesterday.

Any ideas?

Protect & Prolong life of your iPhone's Battery:

  1. About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch ...
  2. Batteries - Maximising Performance - Apple (IN)
  3. iPhone Battery and Performance



Try some of these options too.

  1. Avoid Screen Mirroring
  2. Put on Low Power Mode
  3. Put Auto Lock On (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
  4. Put Auto Answer Off
  5. Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
  6. Keep your iPhone Face down to prevent notifications to light up screen
  7. Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
  8. Manually lower brightness from Control Center
  9. If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
  10. Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
  11. Location services to be allowed only while using the app
  12. Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
  13. Turning off Background App Refresh 
  14. Charge before it drops below 20-30%
  15. Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
  16. Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
  17. Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
  18. Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
  19. Periodically Check your Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)

I just discovered that my iPhone keeps searching for an Apple Watch (Looking for other devices if Bluetooth is on). The message is: Go to the Apple Watch- app to connect the Apple Watch with your iPhone. I don’t have the app and I don’t have an Apple Watch, but maybe this is the problem? My iPhone keeps searching for an Apple Watch . Maybe this is what does my battery drain that fast? Is their a way to stop my iPhone searching?

Many thanks
