Ios14 Draining my iPhone battery!

Ever since I downloaded the new iOS, my battery is draining rapidly. From an emotional level really ****** off at this latest apple debacle. But for for stuck, what are practical fixes - other than spending another $800-1000 to replace my new-ish iPhone 8.


Thanks,

MIke

Hello,

New versions of iOS require extra processing to index data etc. You also could have a malfunctioning app that doesn't work with iOS 14.

Anyway, these are the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Setting > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

Good luck.
