Battery drain on iOS 14.6
my battery life on iOS 14.6 is terrible… is it just me or anyone is experiencing this thing too??
You’re not alone, brother. It’s shocking how bad it is
Question marked as
So after putting up with this issue of the App Store using around 50% of my battery each day for nearly two weeks (and with activity levels at 100% every hour, with almost all of it in the background) I contacted apple support online chat. They suggested a few things that I had already tried and so we went to the full restore whilst the phone is plugged into a computer. So I reset my phone 11 via my Mac (following their instructions) and then I restored via iCloud backup .
I have now had ten hours of normal battery behaviour; usually by this point in the day my iPhone would be nearly dead. It is still on 56% 👍🏻👏🏻
So if anyone on here is struggling with battery life since iOS 14.6 was released and has tried a number of things but not yet tried the full restore plugged into a computer (which is better than an untethered restore according to the apple support chat representative) then I would urge you try it. Yes, it is a pain resetting the phone and waiting for it to restore from backup (and I now need to reconfigure my banking apps and wallet) - but I'm very happy that the problem seems to be resolved.
Cheers

How many time u charge ur iPhone in a day
After 14.6 update there is huge battery drain issue. Even my capacity fell down by a percent.
I went to bed with battery at 92% and woke up at 80%. There are no apps using anything during the period it was just sitting there. It’s just slowly dropping. Doing nothing.
Not only batterylife but also battery condition is getting influenced since 14.6 iOS update.
Yes my battery life is horrible now. Yes I listen to podcasts all the time. That must be it as podcasts make up the vast majority of my battery usage. I hope there is a fix soon
I have switched off backgrounds app refresh and the WiFi and it’s still draining since the upgrade. I use it for listening to podcasts and that seems to be the app that’s draining the power..help!
The problem is with me when I listen to music via Bluetooth as the smartphone top right warmer where also the camera is. Since only an update helps I think.🤥
The battery on my iPad mini (2019) is fine. I think it’s best to wait for iOS 14.7. In hopes that they fix it there.
Awful, after update to 14.6, I had to charge my iphone X 3 times a days, before that only once a day. Need a fix from apple come ASAP :(
Did this end up working for you? I have notice huge drain because of the podcasts app. Took 25% off of the battery on my iPad in 45 minutes.
