Health app draining battery on iOS14
Since updating to iOS14 the health app has been draining my battery. Can anyone help?
iPhone 11
The same issue with storage and battery. IPhone 7 plus 128 gb paired with apple watch series 3
Question marked as
I’m glad I found this thread and that I wasn’t alone. Depleting battery, hot phone, unable to delete apps, Apple Watch not syncing and any app related to health constantly crashing.
I’d already noticed that Health app was always at the top of battery usage, but I hadn’t quite clocked how much storage it claimed to be taking up.
14.2PB.
PB. Not MB. Not GB. Not TB. I had to Google what on Earth a PB was. A Petabyte.
Nothing I tried helped other than to back-up and perform a fresh install having disabled syncing of Health app. That is how I spent my Sunday morning, but it seems to have worked. No more battery drain, Apple Watch syncing and Health app behaving itself.

How do you re-install ios 14?
it helped. thank you
How do you save without encryption?
I’ve got 53 PB. Can’t fix it either. New update didn’t help
I did the same last night. So far, this had fixed my problems as well
Are you using an Apple Watch with OS7?
If yes, this issue has come up several other times in the forum, there was an user who posted their guide on how to solve it and apparently it worked
How did you do the clean install? Using iCloud backup and resetting and then updating or is there another way?
tnx
Not draining battery anymore, and after 14.0.1 update the fitness , watch and health app work but taking up 43 PB of data. Are you able to download apps?
Did it fix the storage issue? The 14.0.1 fixed the fitness , watch and health app but still saying health is taking PB of data... are you able to download apps?
I only had the battery draining issue. My health data is 'only' about 1GB. Which still seems excessive, but at least it is not causing issues.
Same problem on my iPhone X and Apple Watch 3. Health app using 148G of data all the sudden and I can’t delete it! Tried everything! Maddening
Thanks. I already had background refresh off. How do you call Apple?
Thanks. Can you share the back-up, install and disable syncing sites in more detail?
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.
