IpadOS 14 battery drain

Hi, I talked with apple support via apple support app. I think that guy helped me. He advised me to remove widgets that use locations (weather etc.) I charged my Ipad to 80% before midnight, in 10 am I checked and it lost only 2 or 3% of charge. Try that. Anyway I really recommend to connect with them via that application https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/apple-support/id1130498044?l=en

You are Welcome.

Try a Backup then Restore from it:

Anything messed up after the update would be fixed.

I. First, Backup your iPad.

I would plug the iPad into the wall, and, while plugged in, backup your iPad to iCloud or to your computer. While it is plugged in be certain all necessary items are set to be backed up. Choose what to back up: Open: Settings > Tap: your Name (The very-top item) > Tap: iCloud > Tap: iCloud > Tap: Anything Necessary so it is Green. Next, proceed with the backup Go Here: Make a Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

II. Restoring this From a Backup:

Have you backed up your iPad at all prior to this update install? If so, restore from it. Go Here:  Restore your iPhone, iPad, ir iPod touch from a Backup.

If that does Not Work...

III. Set the iPad up anew. Perform as Instructed Here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your IPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch -Apple Support. Once that is done, restore from the backup using the link in Step II.

"IpadOS 14 battery drain: Example - this morning the iPad battery was at 64% ... after just 20 minutes checking email and visiting a single newspaper website it was at 53%. No way is that acceptable or normal and it has been like that ever since the OS upgrade.”

A Few More Recommendations:

A. Take this as a Learning Experience:

Know to always backup. prior to updating. That way, you will have something to restore your device from, should anything go wrong after the install.

B. See about Getting this Serviced:

Go Here: Send-In Service - Include Handwritten Notes with the Packaging

Contact Apple - see if getting a swapout is an option. It may be available for send-in service. Write some notes down on a sheet of paper and include it in the send-in box, to explain anything you need them to know.

Contacting Apple Support:

• Contact Us - Choose Locations
• U.S.A. (800)MY-APPLE
• Proceed from there as necessary

Why the Wait:

Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due do lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get thorough :)
