Battery problem in ios 14.6

Hello karthik999,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! We understand you are experiencing some issues with the battery and operation of your iPhone after updating to iOS 14.6. We are happy to help provide some guidance.

To start, there is not a way to downgrade your iOS version after updating, but we would be happy to work with you on any issues you might have with your iPhone.

Regarding the battery life on your device. After updating your iPhone, it can take some time for everything to finish updating in the background, so you may notice it take a day or two before it stabilizes. You can take a look at some good steps in the following article about how to maximize the battery life on your iPhone:

Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan

What seems to be happening with your storage not reporting correctly? Is it not showing at all, or is something not loading properly when you check in Settings > General > iPhone Storage?

Have you tried swiping up on the multiple tabs or apps that are open to see if they go away? Have you been able to restart your iPhone to see if that issue clears up?

Keep us updated!

Best Regards.

Me too. And I have an iPhone 12 Pro 6 month old.

today my battery health went from 96% to 95%

I sent it to assistance last week, but Apple tech did not found anything wrong with my battery.

before iOS 14.5 I could do 12/14 hours without charging. At 10 pm it was at 40%

now after 14.5, 14.5.1 and 14.6 at 3 pm it is at 40% and I have to charge it!!!

not happy at all with this situation and how eu Apple tech in Czech Republic treat my case.

it is not normal that a 6 month old (1000 € and plus) phone can only make 7 hours o. Battery.

I traded in my 2 years old XR and battery health was at 98% and I did almost 12 hours on battery with a more than 2 years old phone.

never been so unhappy with Apple like I am right now!!!!!!

I have the same problem, I'm using my iPhone in the same environments as before update it to iOS 14.6

But after update battery draining faster, before it was worked the whole day nowadays I have to charge it at evening :(

My device is iPhone XS (MT9F2HN/A)

iOS/iPadOS 14.6 drains battery life due to the Bluetooth and U1 chips constantly pinging for the ‘Find My’ network to work, eg AirTags! Apple need to add an option in the system location settings to disable/opt out of this otherwise I’m sure they’ll face a class action lawsuit over it

Try this;

Settings -> Apple ID -> Find my -> Find my iPhone -> And turn off ‘find my network’

For AirTags to work Apple devices need to constantly ping Bluetooth and U1 signals from devices which will drain a lot of battery over a day regardless of them both being low powered

You will be loosing the ability to find your iPhone or iPad if the battery is completely dead but they only just added that anyway so life will be as it was before the iOS 14.6 update

Thank you. Will try right now.

but it is unacceptable also the fact that battery health lost 5% in 2 months.

it was 100% by the end of March, went on 99% with iOS 14.5 in April. And then went to 98% with iOS 14.5.1, then 97% with iOS 14.6. Then again 96% two weeks ago.

and half an hour ago went to 95%.

I am not happy at all!

by the way thank you for your suggestion.

hope that Apple too will give us a solution!
