I had installed the new ios 14 and my battery drained from 90% to 10% without me even touching the phone. This has never happened before.
Please Apple fix asap.
The actual “notes” app that comes on the phone. That is where it said it was using a lot of my battery and it said it was running in the background for a long time. Nothing was supposed to even be running in the background but that app kept drawing from my battery nonstop. I deleted it and reinstalled and haven’t had a problem since. Not sure if that’s the problem app everyone is having problems with but you can check. If you go into settings, then down to battery. If you scroll down on the page it shows how much battery time is used on each app. If there’s one that seems like a crazy amount of time, it could be the problem?
Update to iOS 14.0.1 and then check again, let it learn your charging and using pattern and your battery will be fine.
I found a fix of sorts, maybe it’ll help someone. (please note that I had only battery issue after update; no heat issues)
I noticed a drastic performance drop in battery after upgrading to iOS 14. I’m using an iPhone 11 with 95% battery health, so this was really concerning. I noticed that Apple added a lot of location based widgets in the original widgets screen (I’m not talking about customized Home Screen widgets here like clock or battery, which shouldn’t really consume too much battery). After removing all of those widgets for a test run, my battery performance seems to have improved a bit. I wouldn’t say it’s back to exactly what it was with iOS 13, but it’s definitely more manageable.
The thing I did was to fresh install iOS on my iPhone and it was all fresh & quick again. Of course the old battery was replaced but that was very needed. In iOS 13.x it showed already moments of fast discharing to. A fresh install mostly makes your phone run smooth again.
Hi I updated to iOS 14 and noticed my battery in iPhone 7 Plus draining.
switching off App refresh in settings solved my problem.
I installed 14.2 just a day ago and... (I really don’t want to get my hopes up too soon, but) it seems to have fixed the issue for me! Went almost 18 hours on a single charge with mild use on a 9 month old iPhone 11. Keep in mind though that I’ve always had Background App Refresh off, location services accessible only by the apps I really need and no heavy location-based widgets, so 16-17 hours on mild use was something I was used to before iOS 14. (I’m mostly connected to WiFi the whole day, thought I should mention that here because it uses a lot less battery than 4G)
It’s still early days though, I’ll check if it keeps it up the next few days and leave an update here :)
I suspect my battery drain is caused by low-level wifi activity. It does not drain severely in Airplane Mode. Try charging your phone (to 100% if possible), remove it from the charger and put it in Airplane Mode overnight. Report battery status/drop from a morning reading.
Try a factory reset, and find out how long you have your iPhone. 6s is 6 years old now so it might be your battery because sometimes the won’t last when you exhaust them. Try to find an Apple official resellers or official repair shop to examine your troubles. In comments before I explain how to reinstall and the use of some kind of logic. Instead of buying a new one. Good luck.
My iphone had a health of 89% as well. I changed battery because it didn’t last long. Now I am able to let it be idle for days. Recently I updated to 14.4 and there was a remarkable activity, the weather widget consumed 90% of all the power. The phone did strange again. So I removed it and now I am testing again. Best thing to do is a factory reset if your phone acts strange, and from there on. “the best ios ever”?
I had the same issue on a 6s. I saved anything I wanted out of my notes, deleted the app and reinstalled. Seems to have solved the problem for me!
I restarted the phone twice and battery drain stopped
14.2 is the latest version. Update and that should recharge your wireless charging issue.
After thr new iOS 14 try a factory reset, it might help. It did for me 6s.
Battery health is not always indicating precise but try a factory reset and then turn of siri. Check all posible ‘swipe on’ buttons and turn them off that could work or is working with siri.
This new guidance was just published by Apple. Please note the article states you need at least two of these symptoms for this to be the correct solution for your issue.
Your battery health seems to be the case, this is not an software issue, try backing up your data and restore it through itunes and keep the heavy apps limited and do not use your phone heavily, cuz battery health drops heavily on heavy apps and heavy usage and try to charge your phone from your Original box charger and then try.
Battery drain after iOS 14 update.
