Battery drain after iOS 14 update.

You are not alone in this problem. This has been going on for months- since Ios14’s first release. we’ve all been posting about it ever since(trying to find a work around/ fix.) but it’s been really painful. some folks seem to have found solutions but others not so much. I’m giving iPhone 1 more try but if this continues, I’m going Samsung like those who’ve already given up. Sending you lots of good luck in your hunt for a fix!

Just adding my name (and the other two family members I live with who are having the same problem) to this list. We're having the same battery drain as described in this thread using 14.6 on two iPhone 7's and one iPhone 8 with battery health at 90%+. We've done all the recommended troubleshooting and not seen any improvement. Finally bought smart battery cases for the iPhone 7's so we could make it through the day (or at least not have to charge as often.)

As you are under warranty, I would make an appointment to visit Tech Support at your Apple Store or, if that's not convenient, try online / telephone Tech Support. Something is terribly wrong if their flagship phone is having issues.

11 Pro. Draining so fast I can't even charge it wirelessly. Goes to 0% from 100% overnight while idle. Battery history shows nothing. A few apps with a few minutes of background activity.

after update iOS 14 battery drain very fast on iPhone xr pls help

Apple Support is the organization that can help you with this.

If you don't wish to cooperate with them, there is nothing anyone can do.

Read my latest post, of my experiences. I dropped a complain at Apple’s door but they will do not much about this sudden troubles. I think more people should do a complain, or phone them.

No one from Apple is here to read your complaint; we are all just fellow users here.

You can lodge a complaint here, if you like:

Hi, you can check this: iPhone Battery and Performance

Check the battery health, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health & if the maximum capacity is less than 80%, you need to replace the battery on your phone.

You can restore your phone as new:

If the issue persists, you can take your phone to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Book an appointment on getsupport.apple.com or use the Apple Support app.

My wife's iPhone 8 is also having the dramatic battery drainage issue. This literally happened right after installing the iOS 14 update. She will have her phone charged at 100% then unplug it for about 35-45 minutes and it is down to 10% and then just shuts off on her without her even using the phone. Her battery health is at 93%, turned off app refreshing in the background, turned off auto brightness and removed apps she no longer needs, updated to 14.0.1 and her battery still won't stay charged. Her phone is pretty much useless right now making this super inconvenient. Please resolve this ASAP Apple!

I have an iPhone 6s and had the battery replaced just over a month ago. The battery health indicated 86% when I upgraded to iOS14. Had no issues with the battery and used to charge my phone only once a day. Right after upgrading to iOS14 my battery health has dropped to 84% and it drains like crazy. The battery drain issue began right after I updated the iOS14. The phone has become useless. I am not able to take my phone out with me as it drains by several percentage points every time I launch an app. My phone is old model but I bought it three years ago. Battery was replaced at an Apple store around one and half years ago. Have contacted Apple support. They ran diagnostic, confirmed no hardware issue, and that the battery is healthy enough to handle all functions. Apple has read analytical data off of my phone, taken pictures of the battery drainage from the battery health screen. After multiple calls with the technical support, now they are blaming the battery although they had told me earlier the battery is healthy enough and drainage issue not related to the battery. Apple asked me to replace the battery but they are not sure if it will fix the battery drain issue. What I can tell is that my battery drain issue began right after I upgraded to iOS14. Had I known, I wouldn't have done so. My phone has become useless overnight, not for what I have done to it but because of the last iOS upgrade.

Apple please see all these complaints. Do something. I am afraid of using my phone. It drains several percentage points as soon as I use an app. Do not use social media, or play games on the phone.

Well for me its the same as iOS 13.5.1 do not know what is happening on your end, my battery health is 95% and i am getting almost 5 hours of SOT for 2 days on a single charge on my Xs Max and that is fine for me. By the way my charging cycle is from 95% to 30%.

updated to 14.0.1 immediately when it became available but have not seen any difference at all.

I was told by apple level two techs that my phone had software issue. Then the next tech told me to do a factory reset. The third person asked me not to reset as it wont fix the battery drain issue. The fourth level two tech I spoke with is trying to blame my battery although the second tech I spoke with confirmed my battery is healthy at 86%

Depending who I speak with I get a different opinion.

Frustrated since 9/23 when I upgraded to iOS 14. I had no issues prior to the upgrade.

Same thing with me, mine is also 7+. Battery drains fast after the iOS14 update. Batt was at 60% before I sleep and woke up at a dead batt in the morning. Also turned off all the unnecessary apps and all to save battery but still draining fast. After the update I charge my phone more than my usual once or twice a day charging. Also phone starts to heat. Have it fixed please.
