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??
Same here.. same battery life
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

Apple will listen to us?
No!
They tell us what we need. They never ask what we want.
They called me bro, but they aren't doing anything.. mayve they are still trying to figure something out..
Thank you. Let‘s wait and see. My Battery is still drainig on 14.7.

Same issue with me - after the 14.6 Update my IPhone 8 has been draining the battery 🤬
I listen to podcasts while sleeping and before the update it was no problem if the phone was only charged eg 40-50% to hold through the night.
However after the update to 14.6 the batteri is now completely draining ie blacked out in the middle of the night even though the phone was fully 100% charged - ie this update destroyed my phone and made it unusable with suddenly no battery life time after the update 🤯
When these things happens you start to loose your fate in Apple believing they did this on purpose to make us buy new phones 😖
I've actually had to switch back to Pocket Casts. The battery drain is so ridiculous. Even when my phone is officially plugged into a fast charger via the lightning port, I still actually lose battery life while listening to episodes.
Think about that. The phone is plugged in to a fast charger, AND I LOSE BATTERY LIFE!

i am also posted many complaints and review for that issue but nothing fix there is no 14.6.1 for fixing this issue . and they reply me and says if any bugs and any complaints in ios updates so, we filed complaints , bugs problems in developers forums if we filed these reports so may be they can adressed it but not here. its only for discussions not for ios bug fix.
Hi,
I had the same issue with “podcast”.
My solution was to retired
« Apple podcast » for the moment and I downloaded «Overcast» to listen to my podcast. So if Apple does resolve the battery drain problem in a future iOS I’ll go back to it if they don’t I can still listen to my podcast.
Like I said not a permanent solution but enough to only charge my phone every 24 hours.
Good luck !

Before going to full restore, try the following:
- remove any app that doesn’t work anymore from iOS14 (try to open each of them and you’ll find out if to be removed)
- if you have an AppleWatch: unpair/pair
- upgrade to iOS14.7 if you didn’t yet
FYI: the full restore didn’t work for me with iOS14.6, neither did the other actions. Yet after the upgrade to iOS14.7 (with a ‘clean’ phone), AppStore is no longer draining my battery 🥳
Hope you’ll get there too!!
I know how frustrating this issue can be!!
try to close exposure notification
i feel different after close
What helped me, after all the hints that changed nothing, was to turn off DEVICE MANAGEMENT in Location Services and then a restart.
