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??
with each new upate the battery wears out quickly....
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

Same here facing a lot of battery drain problem even on my iPad after updating to iPad so 14.6
Hello, I did as you said… switched off my phone.. waited for 20 seconds and turned it back on… and now my battery capacity was reduced by 1% again… so now it’s 98% and before updating.. it was a 100%
Overnight the battery decreased 12% and showed no activity of any kind. No apps in background, no nothing.
The same thing happened to me, the first day drop by 1%, the second day drop another 1%.
