Hi n34s34n,

We understand the Photos app is using a significant amount of your battery charge. We're happy to help.

To begin do you store your pictures directly on the device, or do you use the iCloud Photo service?

If you're using iCloud Photos, we'd recommend checking to see if the sync is stuck. You can check this by navigating to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. If the sync is stuck, you'll see a progress circle and a percentage showing under iCloud Photos. If the sync is stuck go in to Settings > [your name] at the top > iCloud > Photos and turn the iCloud Photos option off. Wait a few seconds then turn it back on. This will refresh the sync.

We hope this helps. Take care!
