Ios 14.6 is causing excessive battery drainage.
ios 14.5.1 was too laggy and has more performance issue in games and operating system,but those issues solved and new issue born with the battery drainage.

Typically, when upgrading to a new iOS release, there is a number of activities that need to complete in the background even after the install finishes. It is best to wait a day or two, using the phone as you normally would, before you can get a more accurate "picture" of any excessive battery draining issues. It will also depend on how you have your phone configured ... which you didn't provide us with any information. There are a number of features that use up battery, the most dominant would be screen brightness.
I have a similar problem iPhone 11 where it is warm and my charge is so sloooow!
I can’t understand why I can’t watch a video and read my emails at the same time like before.
I need help here Genius Bar!
Ihave the same issue after installing 14.6 when it came a while ago: iPhone 11Pro (March, 2020 phone); after a cold restart, NO apps running, battery drains about 10% per hour just sitting there. The battery prefs show little activity, noting in "background", etc. This behavior is new to 14.6.
Clearly a bug or my battery is suddenly failing coincidentally after an IOS Update. Battery will fully recharge to "100%" according to the phone either on a wireless charger or plugged into the Apple power adapter.
Hi,
Same issue on the iPad Pro after update 14.6. I tried that suggestion of deleting the Podcast app, and it has helped a little, but the battery percentage is still dropping way too fast. The update may have damaged the battery. My warranty will run out in10 days, but I've heard that I'd be wasting my time bring it back to the store, you get told that the battery is a consumable, and then they show you the price list for a replacement battery. Any suggestions?
Hi, I’ve got the same issue and seems like it just happened overnight. Phone was working fine the last days. Using a 12pro and only just bought it last Oct! My phone was 100% when I went to bed last night and did not leave the plug on but this morning it had gone down 50%! Also, my battery health was at 97% but went down to 96% overnight. This is very worrying and I’m thinking of going down to Apple today but not sure if there is another way to fix this.
Your battery health going to 96% is not a problem. Batteries are consumable things and will always lose health as you use them. As far as your device going from 100-50% overnight, go to Settings>Battery and see what app or apps used that amount of battery overnight. It is listed right there and you can start your troubleshooting from there.
What about 12-1 where the bars show? You only selected a short period of time there. Otherwise, I cannot find any reason your device would lose 50% battery overnight. What I showed you is all you can use to try and track battery issues.
At this point I would recommend that you speak with Apple Support. If you have an Apple Store nearby, make a Genius Bar appointment and you can show them these battery statistics. Maybe they can answer the question.
You’d think right? But no activity at all.
This was just before I slept and unplugged the charger. Just doesn’t make sense that it would go down so much when there was no activity.
having the same issue here
It has almost 2 week, i have the same problem.
I'm using iPhone XS (MT9F2HN/A).
Please find the cause and fix it ASAP
I had the same problem, but additionally since today my two cameras stop working, also the flashlight. Obviusly, the Face ID have the same issue :( Have an Iphone Xs, upgraded today to iOS 14.6
The battery is drained by Exposure Notifications. Turning it off restores battery life.
How can I have my COVID tracing app on my Apple Watch although on my iPhone 11 and synchronised?
No apps appear to be used at night so I can’t seem to find a reason why the battery went down 50%.
Ios 14.6 battery
