Battery drain on iOS 14.6

I also facing same issue on my 11 pro battery drain and heating issue apple have to fix it in next update. Within 3 months ios 14 comes to end. There is no fix to battery drain and heating issue since ios 14 release . Ios 13 is much better

Additional follow up: Woke up this morning and Podcast battery use is down to 26%. It had been as high as in the 60s. Now it isn't even the top app in battery use. Evernote is top at 28%. Note sure about actual battery drain this morning, yet. I'll see how it goes over the next day and weekend.

The same here, very bad. iP X battery was working great for whole day without charging, after IOS 14.6 upgrade to be able connect to Air tag, battery drains 56% just 2 hours after charging. WTF Apple doing ????

Its so frustating now, there are 6 versions of ios 14 out and there is no fix for battery drain and heating issue. I don’t know why apple not fix these issue in any updates . They never addresed these issue. In that segment android is better than ios.

Hi Rouhaan. I see that you are having issues with battery trouble after updating your iOS.

it takes a lot of power and CPU usage to get a new update running, so give it a few days and come back, and report how the phone is doing. Also,you can try restarting it. Hold the power button until you see the menu come up. Slide to power off, then wait a maybe 20 seconds and power it back on.

It’s terrible - instant badness - battery drain - overheating- messed up podcasts - I had to delete podcast app and download again. I’m just replying because I hope if enough of us say something they might do something quickly. Jeez- if I did something like this at my job I would be fired in a minute.

Yes me too. I just got the iPhone 12 a few weeks ago. Just upgraded to iOS 14.6 this morning and battery power is being sucked right out of my phone within an hour. Dear APPLE!!!! Fix this now or take your phone back.

Same. Have turned off all Apps. (I know, I know. Shouldn't make a difference.) In System settings, under "Battery," shows Music app as big energy user with "background activity."

iPhone XR, iOS 14.6. Problem started with update.

3 years into iPhones. 2 Years Mac. Barring the 1st year with iPhone SE 1st Gen, the association with iPhone has been bad. If someone were to follow my Online search keywords, they would find "iPhone", "Battery", "Heating", "UI Lag" in frequencies far surpassing my other areas of interest. The trend seems to be "New iPhone>Issue (battery drain, UI lag, heatup)>Check online>Contact Customer Service>Wait for upcoming update> (Back to Issues)

Claims of Premium, Service-oriented products appear false but engaging. The only good thing is the "Return value" against other makes. One cannot be expected to spend handsomely and keep looking!

One in millions isn't an issue to apple, but one is me and its difficult.

After iOS14.6 update my battery is terrible on iPhone XS.

Overnight when the phone is not in use the battery drops by 7-8%, this is not normal, also the battery health is reduced by 1%.

Apple fix this.

Mein iPhone 6s Plus Produktion Jahr 2018 ist warm geworden bei einer Radio App also beim Musikhören muss ich weiter beobachten finde ich nicht in Ordnung..

My iPhone 6s Plus production year 2018 has become warm at a radio app so when listening to music I have to watch further I do not find in order....

Support App install devices performance battery performance once look up maybe one comes with it Yes weiter...

battery drain and heating issue are coming since ios 14 official release and i think apple never fix this issue in ios 14

my apple product experience is worst. android is better than ios . atleast they hav 4000 mah battery and battery drain issue is not much in android . But in o phones maximum general 3000 mah or 2815 mah battery and also a battery drain issues . Nice work apple . Apple never listen to our customers in across world .

I am having the same issues and I only use the iPod touch for podcast so this update has messed up my battery power…I reset all settings and got 20% for over 2 hours which is great…turned it off and 3 hours later back on and it’s draining like crap again

I really think that time is the best solution. I’ve had bad battery with 14.5, and 14.5.1.

Also, everyone here try this. Open App Store, and click on your photo in the top right. Then once in the next menu, slowly drag down on your name and photo to force a refresh. Then. Press update all. That will update apps, which could have battery drain.

By this time, it should have been fine. I know it takes a lot of processing power to get an update started, but it should only take a few days to be back to normal. Hopefully apple will make a fix for this. And apple, I know you read these. Because I get stuff like… “we recommended one of your posts. Or, “your post was removed just cuz”.
