Battery drain after iOS 14 update.

Yeah!! It’s happening my battery health is in 88% and it’s draining so fast that i can’t even play games or watch movies through my phone and it’s happening after updating to ios 14. So what do i do now can you tell me how to fix this problem or I have to reset my phone to fix this problem or you guys have any solutions for this.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro with a battery health of 91%. I charge my phone every night, I may get a few text messages during the day at work but other than that I don't use my phone at work and by 5pm the battery is less than 20% charged. This issue started right after I installed iOS14. It is definately and software issue. The Battery Usage by App says it the Home and Lock Screen that is draining the battery.

I have tried that but it didn't work for me. Glad that it solved your problem though.

But an iPhone user should not have to turn off the app refresh as a solution to the iOS14 excessive power usage or battery drainage.

agree

My phone suffers from the same issue

Not my fault. The Apple techs told me my battery is in good shape and can support all functions. Yet it doesn't maintain charge after ios14 update.

sounds fishy to me

iPhone 8 plus-I updated my phone to IOS 14.2 today and charged it till 100% didn’t use it at all and the battery dropped to 84%?! And now when I’m using it the battery dropped to 82% within 5 minutes?!! You need to fix this asap Apple. Got this phone literally this feb.

the 14.2 didn't help

this issue with the battery is reminding me of Apple's similar battery problem a few years back

Apple is just ignoring this issue.

I can understand an old battery may have issues but so many phones should not report battery drainage problem right after an ios update, common apple

As I said before, 14.2 did not help. Battery Health is at 99%, so that's not the issue. Before iOS 14 I could leave my iPhone 6 SE unconnected overnight and it would only lose between 1% and 5%. After charging it fully last evening, it was down to 60% this morning, in 7 hours without any use (WiFi on).

Is there something wrong with the charge indicator? I haven't yet dared to let it go all the way to 0%, but I'm curious to see how long that would take.

For real?! I mean I’ve heard of battery indicators going a bit off course, but this seems to be rather extreme. I don’t normally let my battery fall to 1% but I might try it to see if this is something iOS 14 caused or it’s unique to your iPhone.

Never had a problem with the battery until this last update. Full charge in my pocket for about 7hrs while at work , I got home pull my phone out it’s at 20% WTH , this would of never happened if Steve was still here !!!!!! Just saying!!!!

This is happening to me too. Ever since ios 14 update! Phone will be fully charged, I try to write a message and it will turn off then come back on at 10%. Or like just now where I turned it back on after it shutdown from 5% to be back to 17% then jumped up to 75%. I just got a text and now its at 65%. This is crazy!!! And extremely annoying. I had to buy a portable power box yesterday while I was out just so i could pay for groceries if my phone went flat! It has only started since the update!

I delayed to install this update for whatever reason. Just installed it 12/3/2020 Immediately noticed battery drainage issues. The battery drains almost completely in less than 24 hours even with minimum usage.

I reported the same issue couple months ago and have replied to several postings by others. Apple seems to be way too excited about its iphone 12 and assumes everyone like us whose phones became useless due to problems with the ios14 will throw away their phone and buy a new one.

Well, I've had it. Just ordered an android. Apple you lost my business, and soon will lose my family members', relatives' and my friends'.

No more "i" stuff for me, I am done.

A big company that doesn't care about their customers deserves to be left behind.

Thanks for your comments,

I do not have a third party VPN or Profile installed on my iphone 6E first generation and there are numerous reports of battery problems after installing IOS 14. Before going to the effort to erase all data on my phone I want a reply from Apple to this question.

Totally agree. This is the same exact issue cause that I reported in my posting a few months ago.

The evidence is overwhelming that the battery problem is caused by ios14.

I am surprised as how apple is not responding and remains silence.

Perhaps apple doesn't mind to have their legal team handle this issue because the number of affected consumers is growing.

Is there somehow we can actually take this further? Clearly calling them gets you nowhere. I refuse to buy a new phone or battery, when its obviously not an isolated incident. My phone is basically useless unless i carry a portable charger with me! Most of the time the battery isn't even flat when it switches itself off and on again.
