iPhone 8 battery issues

I have an IPhone 8 which I purchased new in May 2019. For the last few months the battery has been draining quickly and I am having to charge it at least twice a day. I have been trying all the ‘fixes’ mentioned elsewhere including wiping the phone and starting again. The battery health shows as 87%. I am at a loss what to do. I was showing the contract tracing App at sometimes 25% but I it switched off for 48 hrs but made it no difference.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello,

Hmm, 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.
