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.

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

Hmmm. Seems like a lot. I didn’t have the issue when I first set up my phone and watch. Then I noticed the watch wasn’t recording data. Unpaired and paired the watch. The watch started working normally and then I got the issues we are seeing. I have my phone turned off right not to compare usage in the morning and see if it helps. Also, turned off health and other things. Deleted a bunch of health data as well as I wasn’t near your type of streak ;)

hoping they acknowledge an issue.

Exact same issue guys !

spoke with a genius today who stated I should restore my phone and wished me a good day!

frustrating

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 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

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...

Thanks a bunch for this but it does seem like a lot. It is obviously an issue and they have to acknowledge it and provide a proper fix. Also, I’m having the same issues and I never wear my watch while sleeping.

I have been with apple support for so long in the past two days. They are claiming it’s a hard ware issue and want me to send my phone back. Which is absolutely isn’t. They have said they will let the senior advisor know.

Update: since I did those steps the health ap is no longer eating my battery! Only problem is is that I can not use the health ap. Also when I try to open the health ap in settings it freezes and will not open. The same goes for in my watch.

Thank you very much Toughmonkey for detailed solution.

It looks like it worked for me, but I’ll check that in the morning and see if sleep was recorded properly.

After I applied this fix, I got scared since it didn’t show any info about my sleep (in AutoSleep app) for last year, but after a while, all the data has returned.

Wish all the other users to have successful fix too.

I’m having issues with battery drain as well. Looks to be the health app.

Same here, health app accounts for 40% of battery drain...

same!
