Health app draining battery on iOS14

Same problem. Health app accounting for 93% of battery use and 53GB of storage on 64GB iPhone 11 following update 4 days ago. Also, old data appears missing from Health and Fitness apps. Trying to access Health settings causes phone to crash. Overheating repeatedly. Forced restart fixes but only temporarily.

I have the same problem along with a bunch of others. This all happened after the update to iOS14

• I can't see my fitness/activity data
• Can't unpair apple watch
• can't pair new apple watch
• clicking on general in watch app causes crash
• can't delete apps from the homescreen
• can't open apps from the search bar
• can't backup iphone
• screenshots don't make flash

And a bunch of other stuff....

I went to an apple repair store and they could not find a solution. I'm very concerned about losing all of my activity data considering I have no backups.

Just in case anyone hasn't already, it would be super useful to Apple if developers experiencing these issues can capture some debugging logs by following the instructions here:

- https://download.developer.apple.com/iOS/iOS_Logs/HealthKit_Logging_Instructions.pdf

- https://download.developer.apple.com/iOS/watchOS_Logs/HealthKit_Logging_Instructions__Watch.pdf

and attaching the resulting logs to a bug report here : https://feedbackassistant.apple.com

I GOT A SOLUTION FINALLY.

It do not need to restore Apple Watch and if your Health data is in iCloud, nothing will lost.

1. Backup iPhone WITHOUT ENCRYPTION (encryption will backup health data which is massive)
2. Re-install iOS on iPhone and restore iPhone with the backup in Step1

And everything will be fine, watch is automatically connected, all app data is included.

How do you disable the problem? For me, I am trying a few things...

1. Turned of Privacy > Motion & Fitness (Fitness tracking) - Have since turned it back on and it seems to be ok
2. Disabled Health in iCloud setting (have not turned it back on)
3. Turned off sleep and handwashing in Watch
4. Turned off my watch (I have since turned it back on and testing out time - initial reports are not showing Health battery usage going up) (did not turn sleep and handwashing back on)

Other people have stated backing up and restoring solved the problem... I have not tried that yet. Assuming it has something to do with the watch... Mark

Having same issue, reinstalled iOS14 through recovery mode and still having the same issue. How can the Health App be taking up 29 Petabytes of data on my 64 GB iPhone 11 Pro? Something weird is going on here.

I’ve got the same issue as well , iWatch 4 , iPhone 11 Pro Max, Battery Draining and the phone getting hot . I’ve now disabled sleep in the watch app and the phone has started to cool down . Will stick to SleepWatch !

same issue

Same here, after IOS 14 Update Health App is literally eating through the Battery. Watch Series 3, Iphone 11. This is just unacceptable, i wonder about is Apple still testing their Software? This was posted in the Beta already...

Same issue here.

iPhone 11 Pro (iOS14), Apple watch 5 (wOS7)

Battery drain is huge (60% on iPhone) and Watch won’t hold it for 18 hours (normally ~36h).

I didn’t know I’m having a storage problem. Health takes 1,6TB on the iPhone?

It seems, I just noticed, that the battery draining stops (on the iPhone at least) when ‘fully’ closing the Health app.

hope Apple will fix this soon!

Having the same issue, but having more of an issue with the storage space the app is taking up rather than the battery usage. 59.91 PB is ridiculous. I had to look up what PB even stood for. This needs to be fixed. I’ve tried deleting and refreshing data, changing setting, everything. No clue what more to do. Hate that I possibly will lose all my historical data.

Same is going for me it’s driving me crazy, I have disabled everything I could on the health ap. I went in to privacy and disabled the tracking. I also went in to delete all the data to see if that would help. Because of this update I have to walk around with my charger in my pocket and I hardly use my phone

Something is messed up. I think it has something to do with the new sleep function. I have a Apple Watch 4 and the battery life has always been fantastic. The other day it was 10% at the end of the day. Today I have been wearing it for 3 1/2 hours and it’s at 62%. I believe everything is related to the health app and sleep function.

I am beyond upset. My iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch 4 can’t even make it through the day without charging. I have to charge both mid-day. Apple really made a huge mistake by launching IOS14 and watchOS7

So disable Sleep on the Apple Watch . That will regain you your battery life . Use a third party app to track sleep until Apple resolve these issues .

I wonder if it’s iWatch 4 specific.. As always new tech tends to unearth the unexpected :)

sleepwatch , autosleep are all good apps .

I tried to disable both and no luck. I am a long time sleep watch user and it works really well. I’m hopeful Apple has a quick fix because I can’t keep this up indefinitely...constantly having to charge. It would be great if it was a third party app because I could just delete it. Since it’s embedded we are stuck
